[vacationisalie]

It's almost been a month.

[If anything, he sounds- happy, quietly amazed when he speaks. Roxas hasn't exactly been the most social of the lot, but there's been reasons. It's hard to make friends when you're stuck thinking, at any second-]

I'm still me.

[Silence, then a soft, breathy laugh and Roxas switches the SFC off.]

[lunateclock]

[....???]

Congratulations. Were you...expecting something else?

[vacationisalie]

I guess so. But I think- yeah, I think I'll be me for a little while longer. Can't be me forever.

[lunateclock]

[His first instinct is to argue against that, but...

...But he doesn't know the situation, does he?]

Why not...? If you don't mind me asking, I mean.

[vacationisalie]

[There's a lot that could be said, a lot that he still feels resentful over saying. His explanation is, at best, obscure.]

Because I'm not really me, I'm someone else. I've got to be them again sometime, right?

[lunateclock]

[...what.]

...Not necessarily. If you are you now, I don't see why you can't remain you. Even if you were at one point someone else.
