Here's to a title that didn't come from a song lyric!
Also, this style is a little weird. Hopefully if you stick with it it'll make sense. Sorry, I was experimenting.
Two went in…
Nononono why are you doing this don't do this why does this have to happen I don't deserve this I don't want this and it's not fucking fair.
You think you know unfair? Nothing about this is fair. Fair doesn't exist.
Easy for you to say you'll walk out of here good as new and never look back damn you damn you I hate you I hate you I HATE YOU!
… I know. I'm sorry. I wish things were different.
Why why why did you have to take everything from me?
One thing I've learned, in order to gain something, you have to give something up. Safety for freedom, independence for friendship, power for peace.
Oh yeah easy for you to say all you do is take and take and take and what did you give? When did you suffer?
You're kidding me right? After risking my life to save the universe? Not to brag, but I mean geez, a little recognition wouldn't kill ya. Not to mention when I wake up I'll have no memory of this, or anything from this past year.
Oh how sad. Well then tell me. What do I gain?
You'll become whole. You'll have your heart, your emotions. You'll go home. See your friends again. You get Riku and Kairi back.
I already have friends.
They turned on you.
No they didn't. I want my friends.
… What if I try to find them for you?
…
When we get out of here. What if you don't need to give up everything? What if we share?
That's impossible.
We're two halves of a whole. Everything I am, you are, and everything you are, I am. We can't exist alone. So we'll do it together. Two halves of a life. It'll be enough.
How can that possibly be enough for either of us?
You give in order to gain. I'm willing to try. Are you?
… Why? Why do we have to do it this way? Why can't we make our own lives?
Because the worlds need us. Because we can't turn our back on people suffering, when we know we could have done something to help. Because together, we're stronger than we could ever dream of being alone.
I never wanted this.
I know. I'm really sorry. But I think it's the only way. Neither of us can be complete otherwise.
… Okay. Okay. What else is there to lose?
Yeah. That's pretty much what I was thinking.
So… how do we do this?
We join together. When I wake up, I might not remember you, but don't let me forget. Keep on screaming at me to pay attention. Fight me if you have to, just get to the surface so I remember.
And then?
And then we start from scratch. Find my friends, find your friends. Save whatever worlds need saving. Go home and relax finally.
This is gonna be awfully weird to explain to people.
They'll get over it. They'll have to. We just have to make sure they understand, this is how it's gonna be.
What name will we answer to?
Both. We're the same. Equal halves. One person.
Sounds good.
I know, right?
So, time to wake up?
Guess so. Man, I can't wait to brush my teeth. And stretch. Oh god, I have such a charley horse, it's been there for months…
So… see you on the other side, then?
Kinda. Next time you see me, I'll be you. Or you'll be me. Or something? We'll be—
Alright, don't hurt yourself.
Don't forget to make me remember.
Yeah, yeah… thanks, Sora.
Thanks, Roxas.
Later.
Bye.
… and one came out.
Thoughts? Comments? Anything? Please?
