I don't know. There should've been some way to let you have your own life, while waking Sora.
I wish I'd known a way.

[That's... wow. Roxas stares at the tablet, speechless. He knows Riku isn't sinister, that he's not a bad person, but he never expected him to act like it was completely his fault. Both him and Sora really believe that Roxas ought to live his own life and-- and he doesn't know how to deal with that.]

What if I don't want it? My own life, I mean.

I don't remember some things, but I'm pretty sure that Sora did everything I wanted to do.

I could never... be like that. It has to be him.

It's your choice, Roxas.
I just wish I could've at least given you the option.

[Well, if he hadn't put two and two together by now...]

If you hadn't dragged me in, I probably would've been killed. I was completely alone. I didn't know anything.

I guess what I'm saying is... I'm not mad. So, you shouldn't be mad at yourself either.

I don't understand.

[At least Riku's honest.]

... Well, I was mad for a little while. I was mad at Sora too, and he didn't even do anything. I was kind of a mess.

But things are different now. I belong with Sora. That's where I need to be.

Even if things stayed like this when we went back to our world... with Sora and me separated... something would always be missing.

So... nothing's missing now?

No, I can feel it. I can't be like I was before, now that I've been whole.

There's something else missing, too. Something big.

What--how's that possible? What else could be missing?

Xion.

... right. Of course.

Is there something wrong with me? Is that why no one's talking about it?

Nothing's wrong with you.

then why can't i remember my FRIEND?

None of us can remember her.
Axel told me that she and I met before, but it's like it's been erased from my memory. Trying to think about it hurts.
Something's flawed with our memories, not us.

[Now he feels kind of bad for yelling at Riku. He's just frustrated, okay.]

... sora will fix it right? he'll fix it all.

[ he doesn't want to put it all on sora. it shouldn't just be up to sora. ]

We'll all help.

You mean you.

There's nothing I can do that Sora can't.

No, I mean all of us.
Lea, Kairi... the King, too.

And I don't think that's true.

[If this were face to face, it would be obvious in his voice that Roxas has doubts. Riku can probably guess, though.]

All of us? But I'm just......

[It has to be him.]

We can't do what Sora can, but we can help him.
He's not going to be alone in this.

[Roxas still doesn't know how he can help. He shared what he could with Sora. But during the test, Sora didn't ask for his help and didn't need it.

Being a Nobody is complicated.]

I know. I'll be with him.

I guess that means... we'll all be together.

Yeah, finally.
I know you guys'll be happy.

... What about you?

What about me?

[ gee, he never really thought about himself, like usual. he sure doesn't understand why roxas is posing the question to him. ]
