Axel: "Hey, Roxas,"

Roxas: "Yeah, Axel?"

Axel: "If you weren't in the Organization, where would ya go?"

Roxas: "Not in the Organization?"

Axel: "Hypothetically…say you left,"

Roxas: "Er, well…I don't know. Where would you go, Axel?"

Axel: "Me? Hmm, probably anywhere you went,"

Roxas: "Assuming we both left,"

Axel: "Yeah, otherwise I guess I'd have to stay in the Organization…"

Roxas: "…You'd follow me anywhere?"

Axel: "Sure- we're best friends, right?"

Roxas: "I guess,"

Axel: "You'd follow me too…wouldn't ya?"

Roxas: "You are the only one who likes me around here- besides Xion,"

Axel: "Gee, thanks."

Roxas: "…I could go anywhere, but it wouldn't be the same without you…"

Axel: "Ditto."

Roxas: "Why did you ask, Axel?"

Axel: "I was just…wondering, you know,"

Roxas: "Usually, I just wonder about what my next mission will be and how long it will take…"

Axel: "You know, we wouldn't have to do missions if we left…"

Roxas: "…"

Axel: "Just saying,"

Roxas: "Do you want to leave the Organization, Axel?"

Axel: "I can dream,"

Roxas: "What do you mean?"

Axel: "…Don't worry about it, Rox,"

Roxas: "…If you say so,"

Axel: "So ya do what I say now?"

Roxas: "I wonder where Xion is…"

Axel: "…"

Roxas: "I bought her an ice-cream…"

Axel: "Man, it's always Xion this, Xion that, nowadays,"

Roxas: "I'm worried about her…"

Axel: "So am I but…wow, it's getting really easy to pretend- ya must be rubbing off on me or something,"

Roxas: "Pretend?"

Axel: "That we have feelings,"

Roxas: "Oh right, nobodies don't have hearts…"

Axel: "I always seem to forget about that when I'm with you,"

Roxas: "Axel…did you ever think that maybe Xemnas lied about us not having hearts?"

Axel: "Ooh good, a missions and Xion non-related question,"

Roxas: "I'm being serious,"

Axel: Okay, okay…well…don't ya feel it? I mean physically- don't ya feel just, empty…like something's missing?"

Roxas: "No…I just feel like, me,"

Axel: "Really,"

Roxas: "Well, yeah…"

Axel: "…"

Roxas: "Do you feel empty, Axel?"

Axel: "Maybe…a little,"

Roxas: "It's alright, once we complete Kingdom Hearts, we'll get them back, wont we?"

Axel: "Now ya starting to sound like Xemnas…and Saïx…"

Roxas: "Well, wont we?"

Axel: "…Sure, Rox,"

Roxas: "So then you won't feel empty anymore,"

Axel: "Not physically, anyway,"

Roxas: "…?"

Axel: "…"

Roxas: "Wanna RTC?"

Axel: "Yeah…lead the way."
