[It's late Friday night, a little before midnight. Quite close to midnight, actually. Someone's restless.]

This whole thing with the harpies got me to think. Has anyone ever--

Huh?

[Roxas' train of thought is apparently derailed by the appearance of someone offscreen.]

"RIIIIKU! Where'd you go? Okay, you won, now come back! This isn't funny! No fair, I can't run as fast as you!"

[And whatever Roxas was going to say is lost as his jaw falls open. Perhaps automatically, perhaps coincidentally, the camera swings around to reveal Sora.

At five years old.]

[ Here Sora pulls a pout at the very thought, not offended at Riku's reticence even at their young ages but maybe a little miffed, yes. However on the subject of Roxas, from where Sora is, he thinks Roxas is swell. He's nice and easy to talk to, from his perspective, and it shows in the way Sora doesn't pause when he converses, just kind of goes from babble-on to babble-off with no awkwardness in between. ]

Dunno for sure, but I think sometimes... [ He gets a little conspiratorial here, whispering way too loudly to be actually secret but this is how he does, well, at this age. ] ....sometimes he thinks it makes him look more grown up or something. [ Sora shrugs then. He doesn't mind overall - Riku is older, okay, though he thinks it wouldn't hurt Riku to smile a little more, seriously. ]

[ Roxas isn't the best at reading people—in fact, he might not be the worst, but he's pretty far down the list. But every passing thought Sora has is so clear on his face. He's just...innocent.

And even as he's smiling a little and just going along with the situation as best he can, he can't help but wonder: why are they enemies? How could they be?

Was Xemnas wrong the whole time? ]

Uh huh. [ He leans down a little. ] Want to hear a secret, though?
