"They aren't using the disk," Omi suddenly spoke up. "They have had the disk in their possession for a few days now, but they aren't using it."
It took real effort to put aside his view of Schwarz anything but pure evil, but if he did and looked at the facts... Yohji had seen it. Of course Yohji had seen it. Of the four of them, Yohji seemed to be the one that thought in grays the most. Omi himself had been blind though.
The acts they had committed before the fall of the tower, they were acts committed under the order of either Takatori or the organization they had destroyed. From Manx words, they had been all but owned by that organization.
True, they had seemed to take an ungodly amount of glee in doing what they had apparently been ordered to do, but... What if... What if they weren't out to use the disk. If they had, they would surely have used it by now? Sato said the disk was originally manufactured to 'cure' talents but was a disaster.
It was a possibility that Schwarz was not out to use them, only to keep anyone from using the disk against them. Self-protection, or the protection of ones team... Those were things Omi could relate to. Those were things Omi had killed for and would kill for again. So what was it that made Schwarz doing the same thing suddenly a crime.
All through his thought process, it was hard to hold the view he'd had of Schwarz ever since meeting them - the darkest of dark beasts, unnatural, sadistic and endlessly harmful - at bay. The thought of them being anything but that seemed preposterous even now. Could they have been so wrong?
The image of Schuldig using his sister against him came up and he mentally discarded his theory. It was nonsense. Schwarz were out to cause harm and chaos and needed to be stopped. It was as simple as that and he shouldn't let them mess with his head.
