Part 4

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

Last time:

Sora woke up rather early, it being a Sunday morning in the summer.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

That night, Sora had another dream.

He fell, into Deep Dive again.

On the glass platform, he saw that Roxas was still sitting there, although much more faded. The Nobody was transparent enough to be able to see the still solid Thalassa shell and popsicle stick in his hands.

Without turning around, Roxas said "Please, Sora. Soon I won't be here to watch these treasures. And there is no way to burn a popsicle stick here, in this flameless place,"

"I am fading away, after all,"

Sora just stayed silent for a second, a sad but curious look on his face, before he asked "Does it… Hurt?"

"Hm?"

"Fading,"

"No, not really. It's a numbingly wonderful warmth swallowing me up. Your heart is numbingly wonderfully warm,"

The Nobody stood up, and walked over to his Somebody. He tried to push the treasures (For no longer were they just his in his mind), into his Somebody's hands again, but Sora wouldn't have it.

"Those aren't mine!" He yelled, waving his hands in the air.

"But I am you, Sora. Roxas never really existed," Roxas said strained, glancing down and off to the side.

Sora's face softened. "You sound like you've been force fed those words,"

"It's because I have," Roxas slowly looked up as he said this, his face unreadable.

"Back when I was in the Organization, me and Axel joked about it sometimes. In the Twilight Town simulation DIZ told me that and Namine told me that as well. I was force fed those words," The blond finished, his face slowly becoming sad.

"But you are yourself," Sora protested.

"No, I'm only a part of you," Roxas whispered, a teardrop falling off his face, home to a sorrowful smile.

Sora woke up late that Monday, to find that his friends from the islands, Riku, Kairi, Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie, were outside his window calling for him to come out and play, because it was summer after all.
