The sword had been removed from Taka and laid to rest on a nearby table in the infirmary, where one Judah bin Isaac was examining it.

"A blade stolen by the Grand Vizier of Alternate Baghdad, and used to exorcise this young man of a piece of a 'Seeker of Darkness'." Instincitvely, he took the blade with his left hand, and slashed at the air, surprising a number of Moogle orderlies.

"A good weapon for a mundane exorcist, but really, this Vizier should have asked me for help," Judah then frowned, before looking behind him to find Akemi Homura behind him.

"Lady Homura," he would lay down the sword. "I have...something to discuss with you." Mincing no words, he continued, "I've been reading records of the 'Original Universe', or if you prefer, the 'Original Timeline'. Let's just say that the very latest entries, made just before Ascot split his world into our Multiverse, do not make for edifying reading."

"Explain," Homura said laconically to the eighteen-year-old Jew, who then talked of various wars, terrorist attacks, epidemics, and economic turmoil. Once Isaac was finished, Homura would continue, "So, do you believe Ascot was right?"

Judah's response was, "No. The very final account says that he made things much worse by revealing the Keyblade's power too soon, and caused all the nations to try and take its power - and Ascot - for themselves. The point of this discussion is; what if by bringing the Multiverse together against the Seekers of Darkness, we are repeating the same mistakes made by the Original Timeline? What if we are putting together people who cannot live with one another in contact with each other, sowing seeds of war and devestation?"

"You're the Keyblade User," Homura said, approaching the sword and taking it for herself, "I think that should be your problem; all I want is for Madoka to be safe."

Judah pursed his lips, "You're selfish. But yes, it is my problem, and all Keybladers'. But, I say this - once Ascot is restored, I am going to give him a good ass-kicking."

	Upon the sword being touched, the Light it gives off begins to glow even brighter. As it radiates these pure rays, Taka finally wakes from his slumber, his hand instinctively stretching upward as if he were calling upon his Keyblade. The katana vanishes from Homura's hands, re-materializing in Taka's hand. The blade releases a powerful aura, traveling down his arm, printing white flame designs upon his sleeves and coattails. Once this is done, his blade disappears, now replaced by a sunset red Wayfinder. Despite what has been restored to him, he still refuses to remove his hood. "Well then...it seems I've been asleep for quite some time! Would one of you kindly fill me on what has been going on?" He inquires, sounding like a completely different person. His happy-go-lucky demeanor had been resurrected, very few traces of Nobody personality remained, for the exorcism had helped the wielder reclaim not only his memories, but more importantly, his heart. This young man had been rescued from the cold embrace of Darkness.
