[ The first sound is an explosion, a large one; in reality, it's the ignition of a Firaga spell, but for the two boys reliving this memory, it's a self-immolating attack, one that should come from the heart.]

You're...fading away...

[It's Roxas' voice saying the words, but at this moment, he sounds very much like Sora.]

Well, that's what happens when you put your whole being into an attack. You know what I mean? Not that Nobodies actually HAVE beings...right? Anyway, I digress. Go, find Kairi. Oh, almost forgot... Sorry for what I did to her.

[And this is Sora, a mix of self-deprecating humor and regret evident in his tone.]

When we find her, you can tell her that yourself.

[Stubborn and certain.]

Think I'll pass. My heart just wouldn't be in it, you know? Haven't got one.

Axel, what were you trying to do?

[There's sadness on both ends now, but a mutual acceptance as well. The end is near, but not without purpose.]

I wanted to see Roxas. He was the only one I liked. He made me feel...like I had a heart. It's kind of funny... You make me feel the same.

[And then there's only silence. Neither boy moves.]

[ooc: this scene, with Roxas as Sora and Sora as Axel, a follow-up to this post.]

[ Sora blinks, his brow creasing because one second he'd finally found Roxas again after they'd separated earlier in the day, and the next there was some sort of explosion - one he'd witnessed before but for a moment he'd felt he was the cause of it, felt like he was fading. He's strangely not scared, but it's a little like he's been stunned, thrown into a bizarre displacement - not himself, but coming back to it. Peering at Roxas, Roxas who seconds before looked like Sora himself when Sora didn't feel himself at all, he realizes he's still on the ground.

He rubs a hand down his face, shaking his head as he props himself up on his other elbow. ] What...again?

[ When he eyes Roxas it's through splayed fingers but the look is not confused as much as it is taken by surprise still. ]
