[Ever content with the silence, Alhaitham goes through the rest of the game with no words on his part either. Still, given the way Xehanort had been earlier, Alhaitham does sort of keep an eye on the other... mostly just to make sure nothing big happens. He doesn't think it will, but it also doesn't hurt to be careful. After all, Kaveh did just open this place and it would be a hassle to already need to have things fixed and cleaned.
Thankfully, just as he'd suspected, the rest of the game proceeds smoothly enough, and Alhaitham watches as Xehanort makes what is in all likelihood his last move for this game.]
It is troublesome. [He gives his agreement as he reaches over and makes his last move, too—the pawn that he'd managed to promote to a second queen piece to the right square, firmly locking the king down in a checkmate.] Doubly so when nobody truly knows how and why the rifts function the way that they do.
[There's been speculations, of course, stories and tales from both the locals here and the little bits of things previous riftfarers have left behind, many of which Alhaitham has read through in his own search for information. But five years hasn't exactly been a lot of time to fully understand a phenomenon such as this when what it brings so much interruption to everything, and the world being more water than land adds an extra layer of fracture that doesn't help anyone. It's all incredibly annoying, if Alhaitham has anything to say about it.]
