[ listen binch, you saw him make this face while he was dying in axel's arms, it's not that weird now!! ]

.... That doesn't surprise me.

[ but he looks relieved, all the same. ] That was always my plan... mine and Axel's. Our original plans were to find a girl... the lab rat of Xehanort's Nobody, a girl we wanted to save. We thought following Xehanort's Nobody would lead us to her, so I climbed the ranks.... searching for any trace of her. But things changed. I changed.

[ he became... a huge bitch. also he got possessed, that probably contributed. ]

When I realized how far I'd fallen, I knew that my actions were unforgivable. Especially towards you... and Xion.

[ he lets that sit for a minute, the closest to a fullout apology he'll ever give, bc this idiot thinks he's dying. ] But I wanted to try.... to redeem myself. To make up for what I'd done. To strike back against Xehanort.... to help my old friend.

[ so yeah, axel, but not just. ]

Then you know more than any of us.
