[ That single name causes him to tense up, just a little more than he already is. He should have expected it, really he should have. So it's a bit of a surprise that he reacts the way he does.

Maybe it's because all this time, he's been searching for his Other and hoping that the answers would be there when he finally finds him. How long has it been since he decided to search him out, defecting from the Organization just for this purpose alone, leaving his friends. And his leaving only ends up with more questions and the answers he did get were vague at best, answers he didn't understand in the least. What had been the point in leaving if he couldn't even find what he wanted?

Only one good thing had been taken out of leaving- he isn't a puppet for the Organization anymore, and with his supposed return with Sora there's no way he could ever get taken back.

But now, what is he supposed to do here. There isn't anything else left for him besides the unending questions that continue to whirl around in his mind. His deed has been done, there's no more use for him besides that. ]

It's always about him.

[ Everything he's done, everything that he is, revolves around his Somebody. And admittedly, if it weren't for Sora, he wouldn't even exist but it's also because of Sora that he can't exist anymore. A vicious cycle that will just continue to go on. ]

Just how am I supposed to help him find the answers? If I can't find them myself, how can he.

[ If Sora doesn't have any of the answers, then what are the chances of them finding them "together" like this Roxas is suggesting to do.

He's always done things by himself, something that the Organization seems to ingrain indirectly with all the solo missions. And when they did partner up, it didn't really work out as a partnership. The only exception had been Axel since the redhead is his best friend.

And here, to take the chance to help find the answers, it just doesn't sit well with him. ]
