[Roxas has immediately taken off as soon as he could, and North is going to have a hard time finding him. Instinct will eventually lead her into his portal though, down a sloped hill and behind a chainlink fenced off area where he's seated on a couch. He's curled up into a small ball and the anthology's on his lap, eyes only half-reading.
[Well. This is a miserable sight for a miserable day. She takes a seat next to him, careful not to jostle the couch too much. Not for the first time, she wishes she had Markus' ability to soothe people instead of... whatever the heckie she has. God.]
It took me a while to find you.
[Quietly. More of an observation than anything else, as she thinks of something to say.]
[It's fine, he's okay with her sitting down. He's partway through the book which suggests he's probably been here for a while, but...he shrugs.]
...in a different lifetime, this is a place I used to hang out with my friends. In the right lifetime, this place is only theirs. I guess...I thought it wouldn't be so bad to come here instead of the clocktower.

[Axel and Xion would find him there easier.]

[It's also something pretty bad to think about now, when they're counting down the days until they have to get rid of him to make things "right."
Everything is fine.]

When Naminé was still trying to complete her task, they needed to keep me somewhere so that when the time was right, I could go back where I belonged. But to make sure I didn't leave, they brought me to a digital version of this place. With new memories and a new life written for me, everything about this place was different. The friends I had in that lifetime never knew I existed in the right one. To them, it's because I didn't.
[...] It's funny. I never thought about it, but this isn't the first time that I've had to leave to make things better. I'm still not ready though.
