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.]

[Trying being the operative word. He's not all that great at it. Clearly.]

Things like dealing with losing other friends?

[missingache]

[It's better than being a dick to children all the time.]

Yeah. That's something that friends can do for each other.

[Hey, he's not a dick to children all the time. Just often.]

Do you consider me a friend?

[private]

[missingache]

[What?

He's going to take a while to reply, staring at this text. Friends? No. Maybe? It was complicated.]

I don't know yet.

[saikusu]

I would have been surprised if you said yes.

[missingache]

I don't like lying.

[private]

[saikusu]

Neither do I.

[private]

[missingache]

Would you even want to be friends?

[private]

[saikusu]

I think you're a good kid, Roxas. Perhaps some time in the future, I would not mind calling you a friend.

[missingache]

[Whoa. That is different. Way different from what Roxas 'grew up' with.]

Really?

[private]

[saikusu]

Didn't we just discuss the fact that neither of us likes lying? Why would I turn around and lie in the very next thing I say?

[Seriously, Roxas, what reason has he ever given you to distrust what he says? Well, what reason that he knows of has he given you?]

[private]

[missingache]

I know. I'm just iffy with adults sometimes.

[None as of yet.]

[private]

[saikusu]

I hope that eventually you will find you have no reason to feel iffy about me.
