comptine d'un autre été, l'aprés-midi ~ yann tiersen
Roxas is reborn.
"Three elements combine to create life: a heart, a soul, and a body. But what of the soul and body left behind when the heart is lost? When the soul leaves the body, its vessel, life gives way to death, but what about when the heart leaves?" - Ansem Report #4
ashes of dreams/aratanaru - keiichi okabe
He doesn't remember his previous life.
{Strive 'til the phantoms are broken/Fight 'til the battle is done/The squadrons of night/Can't conquer the day/The shadows extinguish the sun.}
"My name is of no importance. What about you? Do you remember your true name?" - Xemnas
cohen's masterpiece - nostromo pilots
Xemnas, leader of Organization XIII, manipulates his subjects into believing they possess no heart.
"This new threat...they have given themselves a fitting name, I suppose. These non-beings: "Nobodies." A great number of Nobodies have lost human form, as have the Heartless. Yet the Nobody born of someone with a strong heart retains its shape, with but the faintest visible changes. It appears my betrayers have retained their human forms as Nobodies, and are gathering more followers in hopes of furthering a new scheme." - Ansem Report #7
i was lost without you - sam hulick
Roxas and Axel find friendship and affection within a jaded alliance.
"See, there's this thing about chests. They have stuff in them."
"So I should open the chest?"
"Yes, that is generally what we do." - Axel and Roxas
the terminal show - akira yamaoka
Roxas leaves Organization XIII.
"So your mind's made up?"
"Why did the Keyblade choose me? I have to know!"
"You can't turn on the Organization! You get on their bad side and they'll destroy you!"
"No one would miss me."
"That's not true... I would." - Axel and Roxas
the king's speech - alexandre desplat
Riku and DiZ digitize Roxas into a simulated Twilight Town.
"I must convert Roxas into data and return him to Sora. [...] Twilight Town, is where Roxas was reborn as a Nobody. This is where Roxas first encountered Organization XIII and joined its ranks. [...] I shall place Roxas within that world to live out his days and regain those memories." - Ansem Report #12
finish it ~ clint mansell
Naminé explains what Nobodies are.
"I wanted to meet you at least once." - Naminé
the dream is collapsing - hans zimmer
He is just saved data.
"I am a servant of the world. And if I'm a servant, then you should consider yourself a tool, at best."
"I hate you."
"You should share some of that hatred with Sora. He's far too nice for his own good." - DiZ and Roxas
memories (someone we'll never know) - clint mansell
He willingly rejoins Sora.
"This could have been the other way around."
"Huh?"
"But it really has to be you."
"What do you mean?"
"There are so many hearts that are connected to yours." - Roxas to Sora
- EXTRAS -

stairway to heaven ~ rodrigo y gabriela
Axel just wants people to remember him.
clair de lune ~ flight facilities, christine hoberg
Roxas assures Axel they'll meet again, but Axel doesn't believe him.
{If I would know you, would you know me/Don't go, tell me that the lights won't change/Tell me that you'll feel the same, and we'll stay here forever/Don't go, tell me that the lights won't change/Tell me that it'll stay the same/Where we go, where we}
the palace ~ the m machine, blake hazard
Axel promises.
{From the time we started we were losing daylight/'Til we learned, when parted, to send signals in the dark/I don't wanna lose you in this light, send me a sign/I don't wanna lose you in this life, we'll shine on like quiet stars}
