[Roxas is walking through the hallways with his golem just in front of him. His head is down as if unconsciously walking until he pauses and a hand grabs into the material over his chest. When he finally looks up, his gaze is an icy glare with tears slipping down his face.]

No one is really going to stay with me, are they? I get it now...

[He roughly

Roxas? Are you okay? You just kind of disappeared--

[ Sora cuts out, probably because he's done something to his communicator, but quickly fixes his mistake. ]

Sorry! -- You disappeared so I went looking for you. Is something wrong?

[key_destination]

[Roxas' golem begins fluttering around, making the feed shaky while Roxas glares back coldly.]

No one's going to stay here...

[Video]

[lookingsharp]

[ Under normal circumstances, Sora would assume he's just grumpy, but this is abnormal. That glare is unsettling, and alarms go off in his head. There is something very wrong with Roxas. ]

I think we have to stay here, Roxas. We're not allowed to live anywhere else, are we?

[Roxas seems to think on this for a moment, glare moving to the floor as he shakes his head.]

No...Everyone will leave eventually...And it will be lonely again...

It's okay to miss your friends. But sometimes people leave you so more people can meet you. You're just making more friends!

[ He hopes he's mastered optimism enough to talk his Nobody into believing his words. It's never failed before, not even on Auron. ]

[If only you were actually talking to your Nobody, Sora. It probably would've worked. But, instead you get more angry tears.]

I don't have any friends here...Everyone disappears...

[Video]

[lookingsharp]

You're never alone; you'll always have your friends in your heart!

[ His desperation is audible as well as visible. He's never seen anyone so upset before. ]

[The tears suddenly stop, but it's not exactly Beatrice speaking in that moment.]

...But you left me.

[Video]

[lookingsharp]

I came back, didn't I?

[Video]

[key_destination]

[And Beatrice is back.]

You'll just leave again.

[Video]

[lookingsharp]

I'm not leaving without you.

[Video]

[key_destination]

.........But I'm stuck in this castle.

[Video]

[lookingsharp]

We're not stuck forever, just for now.

[key_destination]

[The icy glare is back.]

You don't understand.

[Video]

[lookingsharp]

[ That chill going down his back means something, he's sure. ]

What don't I understand?

[key_destination]

[Roxas begins moving almost listlessly down the hall as his golem follows after.]

Everyone leaves...and it gets so lonely...and cold...why do they leave?
