[howsketchy]

And I believe that it's the same for you.

[recidivated]

[she's taken aback a little by the reply; it wasn't what she was expecting. she touches her own hand to Naminé's, and then removes it.]

But... why? Why us and not you?

[action]

[howsketchy]

Who knows? There's only mystery after mystery when it concerns the heart.

[action]

[recidivated]

[a deep sigh is her only response.]

[action]

[howsketchy]

That doesn't matter.

[action]

[recidivated]

[another short moment of hesitation]

So can Roxas feel like this, too?

[action]

[howsketchy]

I wouldn't doubt it.

[action]

[recidivated]

But if I try talking to him, he might not understand, huh...

[action]

[howsketchy]

...

You're right, he wouldn't.

[action]

[recidivated]

Roxas...

[why is her bff so clueless.]

[action]

[howsketchy]

But he'll know that it's important to you.

[action]

[recidivated]

...It sort of feels like I'm betraying him.

[action]

[howsketchy]

Does it?

[action]

[recidivated]

I don't want him to think he's lost me... again.

[action]

[howsketchy]

You'll still love Axel and him, right/?

[action]

[recidivated]

With all my h—

With everything.

[action]

[howsketchy]

Then it should be fine.

[action]

[recidivated]

...Mm.

[after one last pause for thought, she puts a smile on at last]

Thank you so much, Naminé.

[action]

[howsketchy]

...

What are friends for?

[action]

[recidivated]

[her smile widens as she hears those words; nothing else needs to be said in that moment.]

[action]

[howsketchy]

[ And she smiles back, relieved that Xion no longer seems distressed. ]
