[There's a lot of things here that he's not sure how to unpack, and so he's going to sort of answer out of order.]
It's probably because the darkness here isn't as strong as the darkness at home. Not in that sense. [Oh?] We've always said you guys have light and darkness in you. Maybe it notices it wouldn't be as effective in you because of Xehanort.
[He's leaning on his knees, a hand propping up his head as he scrutinizes Saix for a moment.] The good news is eventually you get that kind of clarity at home, too. [And hence why he's actually being kind of okay with this conversation.] The bad news is you kind of tried to kill us because Xehanort wanted you to. We took care of it though.
I'm still a risk. [ sort of looping back to the 'it's better this way' ] It may be weaker, but the darkness here.. in a way, it's more dangerous. It's taking those with light in their heart, and disguising itself deeply in.
[ saix laughs again, that short, self-deprecating one. yeah, that much he knew. he expected to fight them -- maybe not roxas himself, and to be killed for it. he knows it's what he deserves, too, and it's ultimately for the best. and in a way? he was hoping for it. he knows he would have gone into the fight hoping to lose, that's about where he was at. so, yeah, he gets the implication, and if anything, he's relieved about that, too. even a little grateful? ]
I would expect nothing less, Roxas. [ than to be killed by you, buddy. ]
All of us..... that's more than I could have ever hoped for.
You noticed too then. [It's only one of the things troubling him and nothing he really brings up to the others. It's his problem to tackle, and his problem to fix. But he's watching Saix, aware that he's picked up on the implications at least. It helps.]
...things got a little hectic after that, but in the end our side won. Things went back to the way they were supposed to. Last I heard, some of the others are back in Radiant Garden. We're in Twilight Town with the others, too.
[He's bypassing everything, but:] ...you're still searching for a heart, aren't you?

[Casually...skirting around the topic of killing Saix himself. Ahem.] ...in the end? We finally get to be whole again. You, me, Axel, Xion and Naminé. All of us.
