There never really was a sense of time when they got on the Gummi Ship. As they zoomed past countless stars and darkness, across the endless expanse of space that spans between the worlds, there was no way to tell how long it'd been since he'd last set foot on the ground. When he would wake from his dreams, an ache and sadness within his heart as he wandered towards the cockpit of the ship, and it seemed more and more likely that there really was nothing to give him any sign of linear time, the pain would increase, and he felt like he would never see his friends again.
Sometimes, when he thought of it - the happy memories that once flooded his mind, back when all there was to worry about was salt and ocean and how hot it was that day - he would feel hopeless; lonely even, because there was so much he didn't know, but enough that he did to tell that things would be different when he finally got back, if that even happened. He would remember, back in elementary school how, on that one sunny day when he had chosen not to daydream and pay attention, his teacher had told the class about the theory of spatial relativity, and how if man were to find a way to travel the stars, he, when he returned, would find himself in a completely different age, and all that he once loved and held dear would be gone; lost to the changes and magic that echoed though the universe. The idea scared him, scared him intensely, because it made him wonder whether or not all he was fighting for was in vain.
Donald and Goofy had done their best to convince him otherwise - the king, and all those who had used technology like this had all come back to their homes and nothing like that had changed - and even though Sora smiled back at them, he still worried. He was the hero, and even though he found the thought awkward, even laughable at times, he knew it was true.
Maybe...probably...he would never get back.
Thats what scared him the most.
