Roxas.
Roxas sighed. It wasn't like it used to be, not anymore. Everything had changed, and he wasn't sure whether it was for the better or the worse. He'd lost all his friends. Hayner, Pence, Olette…
God, I even miss Seifer, he thought.
Though there were positives to the situation. Naminé. Roxas toyed with the name in his head.
"Naminé," he said out loud. "Naminé."
But Naminé was a Nobody. Roxas was a Nobody. Did that change anything?
Again, Roxas sighed. Life – if you could call it that – puzzled him. It puzzled him a lot. He didn't even know who he was anymore. Was he Roxas, or...Sora?
Sora. He was similar in many ways. He'd lost his friends as well. But Sora had those other two with him. Roxas had…no-one. Well, he thought he didn't. What about that other guy though…the one with the red hair? Who was he? Roxas didn't even know who he was. Axel. Was that his name? Well, Axel seemed to know Roxas, even if it wasn't returned.
"Why has it gone so wrong?!" Roxas shouted into the distance.
"Why has what gone so wrong?"
"Huh?" The voice seemed distant, yet near. Familiar, yet unknown. "Who's there?" The anger in Roxas' voice was replaced by fear.
"You won't know me. You never do. It's always the same." A red haired figure emerged from the darkness, shrouded in a black cloak.
"…You!" The fear had transformed back into anger. "Why do you keep following me?! Who are you?!"
"It's Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it?"
"Yeah, I know! Why do you keep following me? I don't know you! Got it?!"
Axel's smile faded. "Why can't you remember me? What's wrong with you?! After all we went through together…"
"But we didn't." Roxas turned away. "Just face it, okay?"
"Well…If you're gonna be like that," Axel started to walk back. "You'll regret this though, Roxas."
He turned round, and faded behind the darkness. By the time Roxas looked back, he was gone. And Roxas had a sudden realization of the loneliness that surrounded him.
Even Axel is better than no-one, he thought. Maybe Sora knows who Axel is. I'll ask him when I see him. If I see him.
Roxas sighed. Life was confusing sometimes.
