Hope you enjoy!

"Well, what do you want to do?"

Xion hated that question. All it did was remind her of the life she'd never have, the choices she'd never make, the things she'd never experience. She knew she was making the right choice, but... why did Naminé have to ask that? It only made it harder. "I thought I knew. I wanted Roxas and Axel and I to be together forever. But then I realized that these memories don't belong to me."

Unable to look at her, Xion stared at her lap. Why did it have to be like this? It wasn't fair.

It's for the best.

But why? What made Sora so important that her whole world had to be ripped apart for him?

Tell me... why you are dressed as one of us.

To make sure my best friend sleeps in peace.

Things were better this way. She had to believe that.

"What are you gonna do?"

"This is right."

"They're gonna destroy you!"

"Please don't hold back, Axel. Promise."

"I'll always be there to bring you back!"

No matter what the cost... Xion knew that this was how it had to be.
