[His voice is hard, and sharp. It doesn't sound as if he's leaving room for argument.]

Kakashi.

That training.

[Eyeroll.]

Hardening the mind.

[Oh he knows what you're talking about. Have a short, humorless laugh.]

You mean the heart, don't you? At least you have one. And you take your emotions for granted like an idiot. Be glad you have them at all.

You don't want to lose your emotions. He was your friend, wasn't he? There's no damned reason to pretend he means nothing.

My best friend died in my arms. I felt nothing.

Think that's better? Think again.

[Bitter is how he sounds right about now.]

...

[Made you stop and think, did it? Good. Roxas makes a harsh sound, halfway between a laugh and a growl.]

One way or another, you'll see him again. Xion didn't even leave a body to bury. Not feeling anything leaves a void in you. You might as well be a ghost, not a real person. People like you say my kind has no right to exist because we can't feel. We don't have hearts.

Do me one favor and don't take yours for granted. You'll need it someday.

[This is the most honest he's been with anyone here. Anyone. Don't make that be for nothing, kid.]

[He can't think of anything to say, or really can say anything.

But he still...thinks of his brother while you're saying all of this. How affectionate he used to be, before he killed everyone without hesitation, and how he acts with him now... It's almost like none of it ever happened. Almost.]

[And he has major issues with Itachi and his neglect of you. Is that what you want? Somehow Roxas doesn't think so. Since he's been here, he's had to result to painful, extensive lengths to make his points clear where Sora's concerned. Show him you're brighter, and more astute than that.

Once you have no heart, there's no getting it back. You're not saving a princess of heart; so there's no reason to do that. None. And Roxas won't let you.]

[He can't help it; he's gotten infatuated with his brother again.]

...Right.

Thanks...I guess.

[So then you can't completely cut yourself off from feeling, anyway. Don't even bother trying.]

...Just don't forget what I said.

No problem. I've said things here that I haven't told anyone. I hope it helps. Somehow.

...You trust me that much?

Guess so.
