"Of course we'll help you," Hayner said as he gave Sora a playful punch in the arm. "Roxas is our friend, too, you know."

Pence nodded, and his spiky hair reminded Sora a little of the pineapples from back home. "Yeah. We wanna see him again too."

"And then we can all be friends for real this time," Olette said.

When she smiled, Sora couldn't help but smile back. The three of them had no special powers, no ability to wield the Keyblade, no knowledge of magic. And yet they were still offering to help. Not because they had to, but because they wanted to.

The worlds could really use more people like them. Normal, decent people who helped their friends out just because it was the right thing to do.

"Thanks, guys," he said, and he really meant it. "You're the best."

For a moment, he thought he heard Roxas's voice coming out of his mouth, but then it was gone and his own voice was all that reached his ears.

Well, it was still true, no matter who was saying it.
