cause alternate universes are truthfully rather creepy
Sometimes Olette wonders what the other her is like. Do they look exactly alike, talk the same? Does she only eat peanut butter on Wednesdays as well, does she sit on the battered couch with Pence like she does? Why did she make the pouch to begin with – was it to store bandages whenever Hayner got into trouble? There are more questions, but the biggest one of all is – who's Roxas?
There are times that she feels bad for wondering; judging by the bits and pieces she picked up from Sora, he was an actual person, a living, breathing being who most definitely would feel bad to know that his friends (and that's what she assumed they were) had forgotten him. Or had maybe even never known him. Hayner and Pence don't think of it all that much, she can tell.
On some days, Sora comes to visit, and she thinks for a while that maybe Roxas has spoken about them, but then she remembers – if the Twilight Town he came from was fake, then his friends were fake too. And after thinking that, she knew that he had to come from somewhere else, had to have had friends other than them, must not have really thought about them all that much in the end.
Life goes on. Sora's visits are infrequent, Hayner is still fighting with Seifer, Pence is still eating ice cream, and it's not always summer vacation, and her thoughts of Roxas are few and far and in between. Or however that saying went. Olette is the responsible one out of all of them, and she knows that it doesn't do her any good to dwell on this, this person that she had never technically met. So she doesn't think about it.
Only sometimes, sometimes when Sora is with them, she thinks there is somebody else there, believes it so hard that she stares at Sora for so long Pence pinches her and Hayner teases her for days afterwards. She doesn't mind. Maybe she's delusional (but then what would she say about her friends), and maybe she's just looking so hard she takes anything as the answer, but there are times when she sees something in Sora, a figure that smiles a little and waves a little and, mostly importantly, is there.
Somehow, she is perfectly positive about who it is, but stays silent, not because she is afraid of what the boys (her boys, she thinks fondly on some days) will think, but because this is a secret for her, and she savors it.
