There was little to be said of the daily business that went on. He allowed himself to be shuffled, mind embedded too deeply in things he shouldn't be dwelling on. The night was over, the shadows had vanished, and there was little more than bad memories to be left in their stead. This was logic, pure and simple, and should have been reassuring but

He was doing his best to not just see things in blacks and whites now.
So that shadow had been Neku if he had become a Reaper, huh? Sora didn't know what it meant or what sort of implication it had, but the other boy did seem sort of unsettled by the thought, which probably meant that it was bad. "Not the same how?" he asked with a frown. He didn't want Neku to start beating himself up because of what that shadow had said, and so Sora carefully attempted to try and get more information out of him. "I mean, just because that think looked like that doesn't mean it's real or it's going to happen, so..."
The way Neku phrased his counter-question was enough to take Sora by surprise. He blinked at the other patient for a moment and then shook his head. "No, of course not! It..." He paused and sighed. "You remember the Heartless, right? It was like... a Heartless version of me. I've had to fight something like it before, but I don't think it was the same thing. Just a copy or something."
His own transformation into the Anti-Form wasn't something that Sora wanted to bring up, and so he avoided it entirely. He still didn't quite understand that part of him or why it happened, but in his experience it was best to just not think about it.

"Yeah, I know... it's like... I was kind of an ass before. I kept everyone out," he tapped his headphones once, giving a half-hearted shrug. Still did sometimes obviously. "I just- I hated everything. Hated that city, the people, the noise in it..."
He shook his head, "but that's not me anymore. Damned if I know what it does make me now, but... that's up to me, yeah?"
So long as he knew that, it was all he needed to get his head right. And it sounded like Sora was pretty sure of himself too. Whatever his friend's shadow was, it wasn't him either. Probably just more bull from the people running them through this rat race.
"Huh. Sounds like the doctors are just trying to screw with us. Kinda sucks that they can get in our heads enough to do that though."

"It sounds like you've changed for the better," he agreed with a smile. Neku was even helping him out, so that was solid proof of how he'd altered his attitude about things. "So you have to worry even less about whatever that thing was saying." If they let those words get to them then that would be the same as giving in, right?
The other boy brought up a good point, though. Just how did Landel know so much about them? "I know, that thing was saying stuff that it shouldn't have known about. I think that was the weirdest part." It would have been easy for him to brush off if it hadn't honestly felt like the darker side of him voicing its thoughts. That's what had made it so unsettling, and it sounded like it was the same for Neku.
