idk I read it as the house burns down, and they drive off into the proverbial sunset, to find, as axel thinks about a few paragraphs earlier, a city where nobody knows their names and is going to pity roxas, but I could be wrong :)
...I think in the end they've left? That the car was theirs, and they've just gone from the city to start anew somewhere else... at least, that's what I'd like to think.
Very pretty and your writing style is captivating, as always... it never ceases to amaze me, really. I love your story-telling ability so much.
Roxas shrugs and flashes a quick smile and Axel forgets how to speak, throat dry.
His heart is beating, beating, too loud in his ears and it hits him, the realization that it was never over, not even when he thought it was.
Not even after the accident.
My favourite bit.
And this here, (Sometimes, Axel wonders if this is killing him, or if he’s just now learning how to grow up.)
Just a quick Thank You - through you I got to know about 'Red Light Company' and I think I've found another favourite band of mine besides 'The Libertines' and 'Bright Eyes'. They're simply awesome
Ah, Bright Eyes. I loved Lifted, and the video for First Day of My Life is, quite simply, the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Got Oberst's newest CD, Outer South, a few weeks ago, but I'm not quite enamored with it for some reason. I miss Bright Eyes.
Every damn thing you write is just so... so... I don't know... like a diamond in a seam of coal. How you can take agrammatic aphasia and turn it into this I'll never know, but I'm endlessly thankful that you can, because this is just gorgeous.
And I know I'm slow, but I only just figured out the title while I was writing this comment, and hell's bells!
Oh, you. You're lovely. Thank you for reading every single thing I send to you or post up somewhere or beam to you telepathically with my awesome mind powers.
So, my friend (noctambule) and I have been intrigued by your writing for awhile now. In fact, in paris by morning inspired an hour long discussion about the sudden end of the world and what we would do in the event.
I believe this may become one of my favorites; right alongside the aforementioned story, The Time is Out of Joint (Philip K Dick fan here) and The Tale I Told to the Breeze. Your writing is just so... amazing. Perhaps my favorite in the Kingdom Hearts fandom.
I loved this, man. Seriously. Great idea, as always and amazing word flow. Everything just - fits.

This is unbelievably poignant and beautiful - I'm sad yet I'm not. It was brilliantly written.
I think my favourite lines are: "Everyone knows that it must be terrible, but only Axel knows that Roxas had wanted to major in English."
and
Roxas’s lips quirk into a small smile and Axel leans forward without thinking.
Thank you so much for sharing this. <3 It's definitely going in my memories.

It might just be me reading this late at night, but I'm not entirely sure what's going on in the ending.
Either way, I enjoyed this very much.

My writing tends to be excessively vague; I like vociferocity's first take on the ending, though.
