[Sora has his back to the Sphere, head tilted back to look at the encroaching darkness. There's an obvious weight on his shoulders, sagging them]

I guess it's a good thing that she's gone.

[dawnward]

You know she's alright, wherever she is.

[dawn_is_coming]

I think I'd...I'd feel it if something happened.

Doesn't mean I'm not scared.

[dawnward]

I think we're all a little scared. But if Roxas proves anything, it's that somehow things will work out on their own. Whenever we get back, she'll be there.

[dawn_is_coming]

I'm sorry I've been so...

[he cards his fingers through his hair, embarrassed and frustrated]

You know.

[dawnward]

You don't have to apologize.

But it would be nice to have you over for dinner before you starved.

[dawn_is_coming]

I do hafta apologize. I---I'm sorry. I've been half-crazy, and I should've been helping you or protecting you or something.

I haven't been a very good friend.

[dawnward]

So I'm the one that needs protecting now?

Maybe not. But what are you going to do about it?

[dawn_is_coming]

Who else am I s'posed to protect? You're the most important.

I dunno. I said I was sorry and stuff.

[dawnward]

You could let me protect you for a while, maybe.

[dawn_is_coming]

But I don't need protecting!

[dawnward]

[gives him a very pointed look] When was the last time you ate?

[dawn_is_coming]

Yesterday!...or...something like that.

There's a black hole eating up the sky! I don't have to worry about eating!

[dawnward]

Mm-hm.

I have a few fruits left. You should eat them.

[dawn_is_coming]

I guess I could.

[dawnward]

I'm still in the same place. It's more or less in one piece.

We still have a bed for you.

[dawn_is_coming]

You sure you want me there?
