He was pacing his room at the hotel, still hurting from Sora's sudden disappearance. He'd felt his Somebody's presence suddenly cease, but he hadn't been there. It hadn't been his shift. And he didn't want to go find the others to ask what had happened - he didn't want to talk about it with Riku and Kairi and Donald and Goofy there and be the shadow of their missing friend, the one who didn't fit. A look at the computers had told him all he needed to know: people were disappearing. All kinds of people. It wasn't just Sora. And Roxas was growing increasingly convinced that it was just a matter of time, and - and -

- he jumped at the burst of pink smoke, tensing immediately - but there was only one person he knew in Manhattan who got around that way, and she was someone he was actually pleased to see. He relaxed, a little, but his entire stance was still sharp with anxiety. He almost looked scared.

"Megan ... what are you doing here?"

Megan didn't waste a moment. She hugged Roxas, even in all her armor. So she didn't make the hug quite as tight, "Silly, I came to make sure you were okay." Roxas looked a little scary, but he was still Roxas, and he lost someone important. Megan was... very composed. It was a little weird. She gave Roxas his personal space again.

She also wasn't there for Sora's vanishing act. She felt it though... not Sora's, but others. People vanishing was like stones falling into a lake, she felt the ripples from others as the darkness from them vanished, even if wasn't much. All at once it was feelable. She knew it was getting worse too. "I didn't wanna be alone right now."

Roxas didn't quite hug her back, but he did sort of put his arms around her - it was an awkward gesture but some of the tension went out of him with it, and he nodded, slowly, when she moved away from him. That made sense ... he'd sort of ... figured she had her own people to be with. But ... maybe they were all gone already.

"Yeah," he said, and it occurred to him ... "... neither did I."

It was a little weird, being alone like this. But it was still nice, and exactly where Megan wanted to be. With him. She didn't like the ideas of the people vanishing, or losing him, or him losing her. It was all too complicated.

"Roxas... can you do me a favor?"
