Axel's name stops her. Axel. She has to find Axel. And Roxas. She has to... She struggles back towards the voice, the one promising to take her to Axel. She just has to get back to Axel. He'll know what this place is, how to get ack, what to do. But as her gloved hand touches Seto's hand... the voices, the memories wash over her again; wash over them both.

" I don't know who you're supposed to be. But...you can't fight fire with sparks. This Keyblade, it's a sham--worthless."

Xion's voice, but Xion of then, talking to someone else.

"...Special just means different. Because I'm a mistake."

She struggled. Struggled against the urge to just run away. Running away was one of the few things she was good at. But that would hurt Axel. And Taiki. "Axel..." she whispered.

Would anyone else miss her, if she never came back from wherever this was? Axel and Vexen said she was important, but she still didn't understand what that meant.

The cold voice again. "Well, that didn't take long. Did it break again?"
But this time another voice answered. "She's not an "it"!"

"Roxas..." she whispered, trembling badly. She was no longer fighting to not run away, she was fighting to stay standing. Her head hurt as bad as it ever did, and her knees were weak under her.

Axel's voice, talking to the voice that had defended her. Roxas. "Roxas... I meet up with you two every day for ice cream, right? Why do I do that?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, you think about it, I don't need to go out of my way, right?"

"I guess not."

"You wanna know why I do? Because you're my best friends. The three of us...we're inseparable."


Tears ran down her face as her legs gave out from under her.

"Roxas.. Axel..." she whispered, shaking terribly. She turned her hood hidden face to the person holding her hand. "I...I have to find Axel..." she whispered, voice almost lost under the susurrus of this placeless place.

If Axel thought she ran away again, or went home...
