... yeah. I'm just a piece of him, basically. We were separate for about a year, but we finally got to merge back together again ... so for a while I knew what it felt like to be whole, though I wasn't all that aware of the things going on around me ... around Sora. Now that we're separate again, it's a little hard to remember how things felt sometimes.
[her brows crease, but after a quiet moment, she just nods]
[just nods, not trusting herself to speak. her heart hurts so much it's making her throat tighten and her eyes burn. horrified by her reaction, she swipes a hand over her eyes, the other hand clutching at her chest.]
[Oh no! Aerith didn't mean to make Roxas cry, he feels like a jerk now.]
Try not to think about it for now, it will only make you feel more upset. [It looks like Aerith's speaking from experience.] Try to think about something happier, and focus on today for the moment.
[It takes her a moment to steady herself, and she takes a few deep breaths with her eyes shut. Slowly she calms down, the pain in her chest loosening just a bit.]
I'll -- try. This -- this wouldn't happen normally.
Weren't you two the same person once? I'm afraid I still don't fully understand everything about the Nobodies.
It'll be okay, Roxas.

An important piece, I'll bet.
Once we get out of here, I'm sure you two will be back together again.

... heh. I guess so.
[that makes her heart thump very painfully in her chest, and she quickly looks away] ... yeah.
[she's doing such a bad job of hiding her emotions today ):]

You don't look happy about it. [Did Aerith say the wrong thing? D:]

It's--! I ... I want to see Sora again. But if I do ... if I ever leave this ship, Axel ... I'll never see him again.

[The light of comprehension is swift, and Aerith smiles sadly.] Now I think I understand.

... he died. So if we leave here ...
I still don't know what to think or how to feel about it. Right now, it hurts.

Losing your friends is always painful.

I know. [Aerith just wishes there was a way to help and not make things potentially worse.]
