Remember sea salt ice cream?

I do. It's been awhile, Roxas. You've been living inside of Sora for awhile. I've been trying to lure him, you, back to me. I wanted to see you in the flesh again, and not masked by some clueless child.

I wanted to let you know that you are my best friend, no matter what happens. I know this seems strange, coming from a Nobody, but you always did make me feel something. I'm not entirely sure how to describe it.

Maybe it was from our initial missions together. Maybe it was from the time we spent with Xion. It might even be from when you were in the digital Twilight Town, and I tried to bring back your memories. Something made me come back every single time. I don't understand it, but I had to see you.

I have figured out that you and Sora blend, like gears meshing together to work a well-oiled machine. I feel like your emotions, your negativity, are combated with his internal light and childlike joy. You need Sora, Roxas. You need some light. You can't live in darkness forever.

Which is why I must leave you here. Sora's heart is within Kairi. He needs her, like you needed a friend. She's no me, true, but she's what you both need. Upon the beginning of my fight with Sora, my intentions were to turn him into a Heartless again, and bring you out of the woodwork. However, I see something in him that makes me believe that where you're at is better.

But you made me feel things. What do they call it? Anger? Sadness? Affection?

You made me feel something, though.

You made me feel…like I had a heart.

Got it memorized?

Author's Note: Hey, thank you for reading this little rambling. I've been feeling kind of down as of late. I needed to write SOMETHING or else I would have probably internally imploded. Thanks again. Also, I don't own this.
