Everything I've done, it was to protect the people I care about and the worlds they live in.

And to find my friends.

...it's not a good excuse, but it's...it's the truth.


I'm sorry. I don't know---

[ In any case, at this point Sora's not a fan of painting people who aren't even there anymore as worse or even bad....the Organization was taking all the wrong methods in trying to become more than they were...but it probably doesn't seem that way to Roxas. Sora can't imagine being in his shoes even though he knows he felt a memory in Twilight Town--a half life--but it's not the same. It's not in his reference or guesswork to understand entirely the standpoint they could come from that would justify it but when he thinks about Axel....

...all that changing sides, and the way he talked about Roxas.

Friends. Sora knows it without even wondering for a second.

It's not something he knows how to approach yet, and even though he's already said it's complicated, he's starting to get that it's even more so than he thought himself.

Which sucks. ]
