Day 4-- Through The Looking Glass
[This is insane.]
Hey Roxas? I gotta tell you something… something important, okay?
I’m not what you think I am.
[This is wrong.]
You remember when you unlocked your heart to save Kairi? Well I do too.
[It has to be the world’s biggest joke yet, Roxas’ mouth set in a thin, pale line as his hands grip the keyblade, slashing into everything. Break it all, let it all go-
Shatter it. It wasn’t meant to exist.]
Yen Sid told you about Nobodies, right?
What would you do if you had one?
What would you do if it was me?
[An illusion, a fantasy playing on the most horrible of situations he can comprehend- confessing his existence. His lack of right to even having it, the concept behind his own birth, the thoughts and actions of so many others that have influenced Sora’s thinking.]
[Rolled up into one and reversed into something Roxas wouldn’t recognize if he hadn’t daydreamed this so many times, except he’s standing in the wrong role.]
Roxas.
[He’s the Nobody.]
I’m your Nobody.
[Not Sora.]
I figured you’d be angry; but I had to tell you. We’re friends, right?
[If only it was that easy. The first thing he did without even realizing it was to dash away that false image of Sora from his mind, and now- Roxas was taking his time. Letting out pent up frustration at the scenery, tearing up the earth, cutting down trees, watching as the world goes from beautiful to full of rips and tears, black spots flickering about the place as his subconscious struggles to hold its form. Let it break. Let it all break, this insult to everything he is, this insult to all the fears he has.]
[And most insulting of all was the fake heart, beating away in his chest for this one, any only, dream.]
