Day 4-- Through The Looking Glass

[vacationisalie.livejournal.com]

[This is insane.]

Hey Roxas? I gotta tell you something… something important, okay?

I’m not what you think I am.

[This is wrong.]

You remember when you unlocked your heart to save Kairi? Well I do too.

[It has to be the world’s biggest joke yet, Roxas’ mouth set in a thin, pale line as his hands grip the keyblade, slashing into everything. Break it all, let it all go-

Shatter it. It wasn’t meant to exist.]

Yen Sid told you about Nobodies, right?

What would you do if you had one?

What would you do if it was me?

[An illusion, a fantasy playing on the most horrible of situations he can comprehend- confessing his existence. His lack of right to even having it, the concept behind his own birth, the thoughts and actions of so many others that have influenced Sora’s thinking.]

[Rolled up into one and reversed into something Roxas wouldn’t recognize if he hadn’t daydreamed this so many times, except he’s standing in the wrong role.]

Roxas.

[He’s the Nobody.]

I’m your Nobody.

[Not Sora.]

I figured you’d be angry; but I had to tell you. We’re friends, right?

[If only it was that easy. The first thing he did without even realizing it was to dash away that false image of Sora from his mind, and now- Roxas was taking his time. Letting out pent up frustration at the scenery, tearing up the earth, cutting down trees, watching as the world goes from beautiful to full of rips and tears, black spots flickering about the place as his subconscious struggles to hold its form. Let it break. Let it all break, this insult to everything he is, this insult to all the fears he has.]

[And most insulting of all was the fake heart, beating away in his chest for this one, any only, dream.]

I'm not someone who should be thanked. [Whatever she may be, she is not that. She does not bring good, but darkness.]

And, I may have said that, but it doesn't mean you can spend forever. [Mercury makes a strong face and pose to underscore her words. And then, as if to confirm he truly hears what she's saying.] Understood?

[She may know his struggle, but she will always still push for more. Because she was always pushed for more, is always pushed for more.]

[Roxas would beg to differ, but each to their own. He shrugs a little awkwardly, not quite sure how to respond to the varying ways in which Mercury portrays herself. Like she wants to help, but doesn't feel this help should be acknowledged.]

[In a way she reminds him of Riku.]

Understood. I'll do it soon.

[He and Sora would be on the road again soon. Wherever they next landed, that's where he'd tell him. A world they can both get lost in, away from each other if need be. He'd do it soon.]

[It's because nothing good comes from her. She knows that. Even if she tries, it becomes dark, twisted, distorted. And often, to be honest with herself, she doesn't try.]

You shouldn't expect it to be easy. [But this comes in less of harsh warning tone, because she has the feeling he already knows.]
