"Namine was supposed to remove everyone's memories of me," she said, softly, her other hand curling around the full one against her coat. "I didn't think that.... that there would be a time after." She closed her eyes. "The last time we were together, Roxas, when I removed my hood, you saw Sora's face. Because it was my time to rejoin him."

Which... wasn't an answer. She had been delaying answering, hadn't wanted to answer... but this was Roxas. He asked... so she needed to tell him. "The Organization wanted a second Keyblade. They took memories from Sora of a girl he knew, and mixed them up with you, somehow, and created me. I am number XIV. Xion," she said, softly. "I am the failed experiment, the broken mirror. The mistake." Her hands closed tighter around the precious objects. "You and Axel were the only ones who ever made me feel like I could be more than just a mistake."

"...What?"

It was so strange, this tale. So strange... and yet, he couldn't find it in himself to doubt it. So she was another part of Sora? Then, that would mean they were connected, weren't they?

"Xion..." The name... it sounded familiar. Like something he'd heard long ago, in a dream long forgotten. But try as he might, he couldn't remember. But though he frowned in obvious frustration, he was more shocked with the way she regarded herself.

"That's... That's not fair to you. You're a person too, aren't you? Even if you're a part of Sora."

She looked up at him, from under the hood when he said her name.

"Fair? A person?" she asked. She shook her head a bit, but it... it felt a lot like the conversations they used to have, almost. "I'm less than a Nobody, Roxas. And nothing about our time in the Organization has ever been fair. That... That is why we've always needed each other. You. Me. Axel."

[twilightskey]

"But you are!"

The sharp, firm tone he used shocked even him, and he paused for a moment in surprise. Apparently something within him remembered something for him to be so vehemently against her negative appraisal of herself. He gritted his teeth, fist clenching.

Roxas was very much done with the amnesia thing, thank you very much.

"I don't... I don't know why we're here, when neither one of us were supposed to exist. But we're here now, right? That's got to mean something, right? Otherwise, we'd just fade away."

"Unless this is what is inside of Sora... and for some reason he won't let.....us...." She groaned slightly and whispered, "Axel... what did you do?" Because that would be Axel all over, wouldn't it? To circumvent their sacrifice to keep them with him, to keep them from fading away. Did it work anyway? Or... or had everything been rendered pointless? She knew if he acted, he did it for their sakes, but sometimes... sometimes, as Riku pointed out, the choice had to be made that was best for everyone. Not just the choice she wanted for herself.
