Close the door. Let go of the knob. Turn around. Walk away.

You don't care. You never did. What will you do? Rejoice? I know you won't come after me. Why would you? I'm just your partner. As you remind me all the time, you can solo. You don't need me. Why do I feel like I need you? I shouldn't. You told me that. I shouldn't feel. I can't. Though sometimes, I think you're telling yourself that. Why?

I don't understand. All of this doesn't make sense. You say we can't feel because we don't have hearts. Then how can I get upset? How do you get angry? Sadness, anger… those are feelings… right?

I leave because I know you won't miss me. And if not you, who else?

I have a question.

Why do we stick together? Why are all of us Nobodies in the Organization? Why do we follow the Superior's orders? After all the names you call him, all the times you make fun of him, you still jump through every hoop he holds up.

I grow tired of listening to him tell me what to do, don't you? He promised us hearts, he promised we'd feel. But I think I can already feel. I know I can. Have you ever asked how we'd get our hearts? Haven't you questioned him at all? No? Even if you were here, you wouldn't answer me. I know you wouldn't. You never talk to me unless it's necessary.

Do you remember the day you took me to get ice-cream after that hard mission? We sat on the top of the top of the clock tower in Twilight Town. I expressed that I liked sea-salt ice-cream. You started to say 'Me too.', but caught yourself. Do you feel too? Do you tell yourself not too?

After that you avoided me. Wouldn't hang out with me. Did you know what you were doing to me? Somehow, it hurt me. That you wouldn't go near me. Did it hurt you too? Probably not. Why would it?

Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat. I walk, confident that I won't be stopped. Imagine my surprise when I saw you leaning against the wall. I didn't think you would come.

You ask me if my mind's made up. What do you think?

Then you tell me if I leave, the Organization will destroy me. Why do you care?

So I tell you what's been on my mind all along.

"No one would miss me."

And I leave.

As I walk away, I hear you say something confusing.

You think I didn't, but I did.

You said, "That's not true… I would."

And let me tell you, Axel. I'll miss you too.

Just a short thing I wrote in the car on the way to Memphis. :)

I find I can write things better if it's sad... or angsty, whatever.
