I believe that none of this is your fault, and that you're doing your best. I believe you get a lot of flack from people who see you as an easy target to take their frustrations out on... And I shouldn't have been one of them. I'd hate to be in your position.
[Is it? He doesn't argue. Instead, he shifts just a little to poke at a starfish in the tidepool.]
...this isn't the first time I was put on a job and found out later that I didn't know what I was actually working for. Maybe I should have expected this. [But it's a feeble explanation for why he reacted the way he did.]
...before this...it was the first time we were all together. All of us. And now I'm the only one who really remembers what happened. I don't want anything else to happen to them. Not again.
I mean...he knows now. I had to tell him. [Read as: Axel asked and Roxas just kind of caved and explained weeks later.] It's the reason I agreed to all of this in the first place.
Most of the time it isn't. We were always told we would never be completed until we joined our other selves. Until we had hearts...but no one said that we could grow our own. Maybe they didn't know, or maybe they didn't want to tell us. But when it started to happen, all that was needed then was a body and a connection.
I had a lot of people to thank for bringing me back. For this body in particular. But Sora's the one who gave me a way back to my friends. A way to become whole again and regain who I was.

...okay. [He can acknowledge that. ] I...get it. Nobody's in an easy position right now. And I should have tried harder. So...sorry.

Did...either of them ever tell you what a Nobody is?

Sora is--was? My Other. At least until I received this body of my own. Even with that though, he's who I came from.

Xion and Naminé were able to receive the same.
