♔ day 4 ♔
Hamsters are unobtrusive, right? They didn't make a lot of noise in the store. I guess they'll be okay.
[Attached: 1 jpg image of a pile of very badly folded origami...things next to a small cage of hamsters. They might possibly be cranes. Are they terrible because he is cursed with bad luck or because of natural lack of skill? It is a mystery.]
I don't think I'm doing this right.
[Out enjoying the day, Roxas can be found folding attempted cranes near the fountain should anyone wander by.]

...look, I'm sorry for sort of surprising you, but I didn't realize you were from before me.
[ he thinks this cold shoulder is about the confusion he caused, which in a way it is....but he's not factoring in Xemnas' lies either in large part because he doesn't know about them of course ]

It doesn't matter when I'm from. I don't know you.

Why should I tell you?

That's....that's all.

[A tiny part of him is weirdly hurt that this stranger would go so far to mess with him. That's just wrong.]

You're---I know it...it sounds bad. It does but it's not that simple.

But I fought with one of them...on the same side once. Axel. He knew you.
And---
I don't know what to say. Is he going to even believe me? What if Xemnas twists that around too?
Argh.
But it's sort of...it's complicated.
[ understatement, and the sad truth is that Sora means well but he couldn't explain it all if he tried, not without help at least...maybe Riku could, better than Sora at least...but... ]

That's what I thought.
He came back hurt. You did that.

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---
I don't know what to say. I did fight with--
But---
I had no other choice...
Right?
[ 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. ]
