[Roxas nods, and takes a breath, thinking back to his talk with Athena. He hadn't really planned on it, but maybe saying the same thing he told her would be the right away to go. He just had to get his feelings out, without tripping over his words.]

Okay.

The thing is. Back where I'm from, I have a friend, Axel. He took me under his wing when I didn't really know anything about the world. And one of the biggest things he taught me was about friendship, and how important it was to trust your friends, because they'll always be there for you. So you could go to them for anything.

And then, when...when everything happened, and you were pushing people away and that kinda went against what I knew, and I just didn't get it. I thought it was really stupid. [And still does to some extent.}

And I guess I just want to know why.
