[He really doesn't want to face anyone right now, not when so many things happened yesterday. He doesn't know what he'll do if he sees a certain brunette either- if he was even real, of course.]

...I'm not dead, if any of you are wondering...

[Roxas goes silent after that, and there's only the sound of wind from on top of the Alpha building where's

R-Roxas!

What happened? Wh-why did Shizuo think you were dead?

And that fight today! Explain it!

[Audio]

[key_destination]

[Darnnit, Noel. Why'd you have to answer?]

...He knocked me out and-...Stuff happened and he thought I died.

[Audio]

[eyeofazure]

What 'stuff'?

[Audio]

[key_destination]

Ugh... [He really didn't want to get into this.]

Apparently...I didn't have a heartbeat. [Never have, never will.]

[euchres]

[ So sad, Roxas. Sounds like you need a friend.

... Too bad Izaya's here instead. ]

Funny how rumors spread like that, huh?

[Audio]

[key_destination]

[And he's the last person he wants to hear from now too.]

...I didn't think he was going to be that serious about it.

[Audio]

[euchres]

[ The playfully jaunty lilt drops from his voice in favor of a humorless severity. ]

I did.

[Roxas goes very quiet; he knew things were going to end up in this direction some way.]

I know.

[Is that a sad Dende senses?! Well, Dende will not have that! Easily recognizing the place as one of his favorite spots as well, Dende hops out the window and makes his way to the roof. Without a word he makes his way over to Roxas and takes a seat next to him. This looked like a kind of unhappy that even pie couldn't fix]

Roxas?

[Action]

[key_destination]

[He's a little startled by Dende's appearance, but at least the kid didn't look sad. That's the only fact that let's him smile back hesitantly as he turns off his device.]

H-hey Dende...

Re: [Action]

[holy_pickle]

[Dende was all kinds of worried. He could tell something was wrong but he didn't know what. Well, there always was one thing that would always make him feel better when he was sad. He gets up and wraps his arms around Roxas's neck in a big hug]

I-I don't know why you're sad Roxas, b-but I want to help make it better! Okay?

[Action] Where's Gokudera to ruin the moment? xD

[key_destination]

[It takes him a moment to register the situation before he returns the hug. There's a tired sigh before he decides to speak though.]

...Thanks, Dende. Things have been a little weird lately.

For the last few hours Sora has been sitting in his bed, tossing and turning, trying to sort through things in his own mind.

Why does this kid have a keyblade. . . and why doesn't he have his own? Was Riku here? No one answered his call over the network, so he had the sinking suspicion that neither Donald or Goofy were stuck in this world either.

Then there was this other thought that bothered him as he peered through the unfamiliar ceiling into the sky above. This feeling of unease and loneliness that he had never before experienced rubbed up against his heart with such a natural friction that it felt as if it belonged to him even as foreign as such feelings were.

He sighed, remembering Riku's words to him once as a child and he reached out what felt like a distant heart interacting with his own, trying to assuage its fears.

'It's okay. You're not alone. I'm always here. Whether you believe it or not. ' He smiled as he thought these words to himself. Riku would probably berate him for still believing in such a story from their

It takes him longer than expected with a detour to his room to set down the lunch that Izaya had given him and a sudden change out of his dark uniform. Leaving his coat behind, the dark corridors were unnecessary as he ran throughout the floors, trying to find the right room. He needed to make up for yesterday, and running was giving him time to think.

...Except when he finally finds the right door, his mind goes blank with his hand raised to knock. What was he supposed to say in this kind of situation? That he's sorry and that he had acting like a complete jerk? Izaya was right- if he hadn't stopped that last attack, who knew what damage he would've done. How could he face up to that?

He almost turns around at that thought, wanting to hide away, but something stops him. It's a peculiar sensation that's not quite there, yet it makes him really look at the door while the scary thoughts start to fall away. ...Maybe he could do this. All he had to do is...

Knock, knock.

Launching himself upright, Sora can't beat away the peculiar surge of butterflies he feels as he hears the gentle rapping at the door. He throws his still shooed feet over the side of the bed, tilting his head in wonder of what exactly is on the other side of the door.

"Come in~" He chimes in a particularly cheer filled voice.

[Action]

[key_destination]

Taking a breath, the happy voice pushes Roxas to slowly open the door so that Sora can see him, but he doesn't step inside. He's silent for the most part and staring at his shoes before he finally looks up, expression clearly confused and partially desperate to explain himself.

"I didn't come here to fight." He holds up his hands in mock surrender. "I just wanted to say..." A sigh and he rubs the back of his neck, looking away. "S-sorry about all that."
