[ Somehow the video feed gets turned on, probably from when Roxas threw his PORTAL across the room he's standing in, one that isn't even his. It's more on the feminine side, the seashells probably attributing to that. And if anyone's been there before, they could probably recognize it to be Xion's room

[about ten minutes after this video plays, there's a light knock at the door to the room that was Xion's. Axel doesn't wait for a response, though, and just comes in]

... Hey. Roxas.

[dualstance]

[ Hearing Axel come in, he snaps out of it and quickly rubs his face with his shirt sleeve before turning around. Despite his efforts, it's still obvious in his eyes. ]

Axel. I think- [ pause ] Xion, she's-

[ He can't even say it. ]

[Axel doesn't cry very much. In fact, he hadn't cried in nearly a decade until that All of His Friends Dying Horribly debacle. Buthe knew what puffy red eye meant. He puts a hand on the boy's shoulder, eyes sympathetic]

I know. [he didn't know HOW he knew... he just... did. He wasn't as connected to her as Roxas was, but somehow, deep in that hole where his heart should be, he felt it] It's... it'll be ok.

[dualstance]

[ Feeling that hand on his shoulder, it gives him an assurance that Axel is still here and he isn't imagining things. But hearing that the other knows that Xion is... It just confirms what he feels. ]

Will it? First Ven and now her... [ He shakes his head, the reminder that two of them aren't here anymore just brings a heavy feeling in his chest. ] I don't know anymore.

Roxas... Is there anything I can do?

[dualstance]

I don't- [ pause as he tries to pull himself together but obviously fails ] I just don't know about anything any more.

[sun_droplet]

Where are you?

video;

[dualstance]

At the townhouse where me, Axel and.. Xion live. In Twilight Town.

[seasalt_project]

Roxas...did...something happen?

Video

[dualstance]

Olette. [ pause, hesitating before he just outs with it. ] A friend.. left.

Video

[seasalt_project]

[She lets out a small gasp, now she had a reason to start worrying.]

Oh...I'm so sorry Roxas.

[dualstance]

It's- [ no, it's not okay. how can an empty feeling feel so heavy? ]

I just.. need some time, I think.

[Even if Nepeta was never exactly close to Xion and isn't to Roxas, she can understand his pain]

:33 < im sorry

[text]

[dualstance]

[ He didn't think he'd feel this way again, not so soon at least. ]

Yeah, I am too.

[friendly_leijon]

:33 < is there anything i can do??

[dualstance]

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

[ he can't help but feel horrible too--Xion was a friend to him, a friend to Roxas, to all of them... but he breathes in before he turns on the video feed. ]

Roxas? Do you need someone?

video;

[dualstance]

.. Sora.

[ Just a single word spoken, a name in response, but it conveys more than Roxas will ever say. Because he shouldn't be weak, not in front of others, he shouldn't even feel and yet here he is. He wants to be mad, rage out like when Ventus left, but for right now he can't help the deep sadness he feels.

His hand in still on his chest, where his "heart" is. ]

It.. feels heavy.

video;

[ultimarecipe]

[ and he closes his eyes. he can feel this pain. it's like when he was leaving on the train away from Twilight Town, from the three people he didn't know but felt connected to. but now, it's even worse. he raises a hand to his face, resting his hand against it, squeezing his eyes shut tightly. he's tried not to freak out about anyone leaving, but it's hard. his hand moves down to mirror Roxas', placed over his beating heart. ]

Mine too.

video;

[dualstance]

Sora, I-

[ He isn't sure he wants to say it, that he's scared of this feeling, scared that it'll never go away no matter how much he wants to. This emptiness that shouldn't even be felt but he does, a lot more than he probably should considering all things. And for a brief moment he wonders how it'll feel if Sora ever leaves.

He doesn't want to think about it ever again, even though he knows that it will happen eventually. Sora's needed after all, he can't stay here forever. With him. ]

Can I.. see you?
