Selene and Aphrodite left. Selene's shinki Riku is gone, too. If anyone was friends with them, just wanted to let you know that's why you can't find them.

And for anyone who doesn't know, Axel is dead.

[Roxas isn't going to go into more details on that last one.]

Is there anything I can do for you? I'll listen if you want to talk about them.

Not really. I wouldn't know what to talk about that won't sound like I'm trying to be pitied. People leave all the time.

That's true, but that doesn't mean you can't be sad about it. There's no shame in having feelings.

I don't really have time for that. I'll be sad when there's no one that needs me to help them anymore.

That's very admirable of you. But remember to take time for yourself every so often. You'll burn yourself out that way.

[Everyone keeps telling him that.]

I'll try. I've been sleeping when I can.

Don't forget to eat too. Do you want me to bring you some food?

No, that's okay. Kido decided to cook me a few days worth of meals. She got mad at me for not eating.

I'm glad. You've got good friends, Roxas.

I didn't know. I barely know everyone here. A lot of people have gotten mad at me for not resting and eating.

In the worst of times, you often find out how kind people can be and how much they really care.

It makes me feel bad. I don't wanna worry anyone.

It's not a bad thing. It just means they care about you.

How do I make it up to them then?

Someday, they'll need your support. Be there for them the way they were there for you this time.

[Forrest, you're wonderful.]

Are they going to ask for support?

[Roxas can't see it, but Forrest can't help but laugh a little at that.]

No, they'll most likely try to pretend they don't need it because they don't want to worry you.

[Like you're doing right now, Roxas.]

[...... oh.]

I'm not good at asking for help.

It's okay, not everyone is. But the people who know you well enough to know that, and know when you need it, and give it to you even though you didn't ask - that's how you'll know who your real friends are.

I think I have an idea of who my real friends are now.

[They've all contacted him somehow over the past few days.]

Good. I hope I was able to help too.

You did.

Thanks.
