Roxas has gone missing. I haven't been able to contact him. He's been gone before, but-- this is different. I wonder if he's gone home, if he has a home... I never thought to ask him about it. I might never have the chance to see him again. I didn't [ swallow ] even get to say goodbye. I suppose, it's selfish, to want that chance back.

[...now that he knows why he hasn't heard from the boy, he's feeling similar.]

If you were friends, I doubt he'd find that selfish.

I'd like to think we are, friends I mean. When I think about it, I really don't know much about him. If he's gone, I'll never get to know him better and... I don't want him to have gone back, to wherever he's from.

My feelings exactly.

[He really means that more than text can relay. Roxas was a good kid. Snake-Eyes had liked him. He'd had a big heart for someone who kept saying he didn't have any heart at all.]

That's why I'm going to go look for him and let you know what I find.

You're going to be looking, as well? Could you tell me where?

It'd be best to coordinate our efforts, I think.

Yes, it would.

[A few seconds of video. Momo will see an abandoned slum towards the city's north. It should look familiar. Debris from this statue still lays strewn about.]

We last saw Roxas raiding this place to help some locals. I'm going to start here and work my way south.

Are you going to be okay on your end?

[He'd rather she didn't go alone, but he's learned appearances aren't everything in Anatole.]
