[ There's a bit of static as a PORTAL is turned on, clearing up at the seconds go by, image showing a shock of blond hair. Once it seems that things are figured out and the screen is clear, two nearly identical blond boys appear in a familiar eerie white chamber, possibly looking worse for wear but alive and that's what should matter most, right

[ He can't muster up a smile for you, Somebody, there are just too many things going through his mind right now. ]
I'll be fine.

But now he's trying to keep up with Sora's quickened stride, wondering what could possibly be on the other's mind to be like this. ]

[ and heroes aren't supposed to be scared. Sora isn't supposed to be scared. ]
It kinda feels like I'm ahead of everyone, because I know stuff that's happened that other people don't... but... I still don't know anything.

[ He isn't sure what to say to that, kinda knowing the feeling but not exactly. There are things he's just discovered, after all, but no matter what he finds out he still has questions that need to be answered. And he can only imagine what Sora's going through by himself, the weight on his shoulders looking much heavier than initially thought.
Roxas could tell him but. It's Ventus' story and his Somebody should hear it from the source, not from some bystander. Instead he pats Sora on the shoulder, something of a reassuring smile on his face. He's gotten used to doing this now. ]
Hey, you're not the only one who feels that way. [ pause. ] I think.. everybody has things they want to know or say but just aren't sure how to say. Just give it a little more time.
I bet they want to know what you know too.

smile. This ship runs on happy faces.
it's harder to smile when he feels so confused... so lost. ]
... I just don't know if I know anything. I hope waiting helps.

What do you want to know? Maybe I can help.
[ It's a big maybe, but he'll try at least. He knows what it feels like to be left in the dark, after all. ]

Really?

[ Really, out of everybody, Sora deserves to know the most. ]
I can't guarantee I'll be able to answer everything, but. I can tell you what I know.

and then, he finally smiles, and though it's sad, it's still a smile.
he knows Roxas can't answer this question. he grasps the letter in his pocket, a constant reminder that he needs to go home. ]
Can I save everyone?

I want to save everyone.
But, Roxas, I don't think even you can tell me if I can or not. I've just gotta do it.
It's up to me, I think.
I guess I answered my own question, huh?

You're right, I wouldn't have been able to answer that one.
[ Because from whatever time Sora comes from, no doubt he would have joined him by now. And in a way, they'd be doing it together, right? He's half of Sora, after all. ]
Just.. remember what I said before? When we first got to talk to each other.

... yeah. I do.

[ Maybe, Sora needed a little a reminding sometimes too. Then again, having the fate of the worlds on your shoulders is a pretty big deal. But Sora isn't doing it by himself either. ]
You're not alone, Sora.

[ his smile is back to bright again. ]
I'm never alone. Not even if you guys are gone.

[ Despite the differences he had with Sora before, he can't help but smile back at seeing his Other return to being this way. After all, this is the reason that the Keyblade chose Sora over him, isn't it? Because a light as bright as the brunet's shouldn't dim in the least.
Roxas sets his skateboard down, stepping on it with one foot. ] Come on. I bet I can do more tricks than you.

No way! Let's see it.
