And you never told me Saix stabbed you. [This is apparently a bigger deal than the stick!!!] Also, how we got Xion's Keyblade back wasn't important, we just did it.
What plan? What was going on? Why did Kairi throw meatballs at you?
[ ... he sighs ] It doesn't, Roxas. It's not like I thought things through that much. It was some kind of-- half-baked thought that it'd help me see you again.
[Oh. Well that shuts him for a second. That definitely sounds like a stupid idea, but...]
...and then after that...[...] ...with Sora. [...oh. Oh no, what if he doesn't come to that conclusion? Ever? Even if he doesn't know all of the details it's not that hard to figure out the chain of events.]
[ it's difficult to tell, exactly how much Roxas could see through Sora, if anything at all. He's never actually asked, either. Axel shrugs, looking away. ]
I toldja. Can't turn on the Organization without some consequences. He'd been dogging me ever since I didn't come back from Twilight Town. I got sloppy and he got me. But it's not like he finished the job, so who's the real sloppy one?
Not everything. Not all of the details, but...[Maybe that's not important. He knows something happened that involved Sora and involved Axel and suddenly Axel didn't exist and there's the weird heart thing that happened and Kingdom Hearts is a mess? It's a mess.]
Who finished the job, Axel? [Just. He's not thrilled, and actually he looks very unhappy, but maybe don't make jokes about this my guy.]
[...look we have zero idea how much Roxas actually knew because whatever, but uh. Haha. Great. Making it a joke DOES NOT HELP?
He's just giving him a blank stare, which also means prolonged eye contact and because he's still not used to this, Axel finds himself facing the aftermath of his death. But at least Roxas seemed to grasp why it was Sora after trying to beat him up? He even called him a good Other, what do you want from him.
That seems to jar him enough though, given he's shaking his head and making a displeased noise.] ...no, but that doesn't make it better.
I was mad. [That's "why", Roxas, not how. He's also confused, it's fine. Give him a moment to, like, process everything.]
...so...you kidnapped her...and then you guys became friends? [...he's not addressing the death part. Or the crying. Or like. Anything hard right now because he doesn't want to explain things either.]
Huh? [...oh! No, we're not moving on from the memory share because, haha.]
...that was it. [He looks at his hands.] This hasn't happened before. Lune and I have never been susceptible to the things you guys are going through, but now we are. [No weird emotions, no mem-swaps before this, etc.]
I don't know. I didn't even know it was affecting us until I saw something from someone else, and they saw mine. But it's the universe, yeah. I don't understand why it's happening though.
I don't care. [First and foremost.] People ask me to tell them things, and I give them all of the information I can and tell them we're still working on it. I get that it's not good enough, I don't need the reminder. But telling me to grow up and that this doesn't even affect us at all isn't fair!
[It's unfair, and he's mostly mad because he knows it's not good enough and also everyone he likes is still on the line here.]
Went a little specific there, buddy. [ first and foremost. he rubs the back of his head with a sigh ] None of this is fair. It hasn't been from the start.

A half-baked plan going about as well as expected? [ he waves it off ] You never told me you used a stick to help Xion get her Keyblade back.
no subject

no subject
[ unlike this subject. he makes a face ]
I didn't tell you because it didn't matter. I kidnapped her, and then she got away from me and the Organization got her, so I tried to fix it.

[ he made his bed and now he has to lie in it but wow is it one shitty fuckin bed. he regrets this bed so much.
he hesitates, but in the end he shrugs, a half-smirk on his face, bEcAuSe MaKiNg It A jOkE mAkEs It OkAy ]
I did. You seriously think anyone else in the Organization could've taken me down? C'mon.

me: here, roxas, have this cutscene of axel and kairi talking. they're friends now. embarrassing.
axel's the one looking confused now. and also. he's decided to not address the dying part anymore!!!!!!!! ]
Wait... were you... fighting Sora? How?
[ and actually while he's thinking about it were those conversations he had with roxas real. either of them. why is kingdom hearts ]

[ he's joking. ANYWAY? RUDE? ]
I said I was sorry. [ like. a lot. ]
no subject
...they're really alike, aren't they? [He does not think he needs to spell out who he means.]
no subject
[ he says it quiet. he still misses kairi if he thinks about it too much. it's weird. he shakes his head and decides to MOVE ON from MEMORY SHARE ]
Before all this mess, weren't you gonna tell me something?
no subject

These effects have always been the universe, right? What, is its range broken?

[ this is literally hell for him ]

[This has nothing to do with him, but he's trying and he's so goddamn tired.] I don't like this either.

... You can't let that stuff get to you, Roxas. People can get pretty ruthless when they're scared and frustrated.
