[Roxas's response is not as immediate. He hadn't really figured out where to go from here. He's glad for the response but he still feels angry when he thinks about what happened.

The letter is similar to the previous one, with splotches and crossed out starts and sent before, again, he could change his mind.]


Can we talk then?

[It takes Roxas a while to decide.]

I'll be at the beach.

[Not the warmest area, but if tempers flare they'll be away enough that it probably won't cause too much damage.]

[Roxas, admittedly, had not gotten this far in his planning. After all, the letters hadn't really had any sense of planning, outside of forcing himself to write it and then sending it off before he could change his mind. Mentally, he's kicking himself for not sticking to writing.]

I, uh, I wanted to talk. About what happened.

Things kinda fell apart.

[An understatement to be sure.]

[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.

[It is a lot to take in, and typically, Roxas doesn't respond at first. Though he wants to, several times, mostly just reactions. But there is a part of him that wants to let Lu Meng finish, and for once he listens to that part.]

I never actually hated you.

I just --

[He's not really sure what to say next. There's a million things that he could say. That he's stronger than he looks, that that's what friends are supposed to be for, but it seems like everything has been said or realized, so instead he just defaults to looking at the ground.]

[Family is something Roxas has a very loose connection to. He gets the concept but it's something he's only experienced through Sora's memories. Memories that are decidedly not his and that he actively tries to keep separate from himself. It's part of why he regards friendship and friends so highly, because it's his and what he knows.

Needless to say, he's not really sure what to make of that confession, but he can understand its importance (even though the idea of something beyond friend is still a foreign one to him).]

I...I think I can accept that. But it's gotta go the other way to. I'm stronger than I look, so I'll be there for you.
