Of course that's all that he was told. Probably all that all the others were told as well. And for a moment, Ienzo debates allowing him to believe that that's all there was too it. But no, there had been enough deceite. "Marluxia and Larxene were attempting to overthrow the organization. In order to 'gain their trust', Axel personally murdered Vexen. Unfortunately, myself, Lexaeus and Vexen had been suspicious from the start. Vexen only went to the surface to try and infiltrate them and see what could be done. In the process, he created a replica doll of Riku to use to our advantage. However, things didn't quite go as planned. Once Vexen was gone, we believed our only chance was to somehow use Riku to our own ends to protect us against Sora. He killed Lexaeus, and I was forced into action. Due to Axel releasing Namine, she released Riku from my grasp and I lost, but I had managed to escape. Axel, however, had other plans. He led the replica straight to where I was injured, and convinced it that by absorbing my essence, it could become something more than just a fake, and could be better than the real Riku."

The air around them shifts once more, the cold settling in against his will. It's frustrating, being unable to control these emotions. That stupid, lingering fear as Ienzo remembers how Zexion died. But still, he continues.

"None of us knew Axel's motives, and I didn't bother questioning Lea about it when we had awoken because there was no need to bring up the incident."

And then the smallest of smiles quirks on his lips as he still has the strangest association of both fear and comfort in the cold. "However, I will say that I believe Lea was extremely lucky that Even was barely conscious when he was wandering around before he left for his personal mission. I doubt my former caretaker would have been as pleasant as I was regarding the matter."
