[Storms aren't scary. She used to be scared of them, too, but she just isn't any more. She hasn't been since she came to the orphanage. Xion guessed that sometimes things just stopped being scary (like after seeing all of the red everywhere after the night full of shouting and screaming and loud noises, like seeing empty eyes that she knows so well and --), so she isn't scared of the dark, either. But when she saw Roxas huddled there behind the couch where he thought no one could see him shake... Something pulled her to him, then. Maybe because she's been there. Maybe because she likes hiding behind couches, too.
Roxas is smiling now, though, so everything's okay. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have anyone else, or if she doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up, or if he's going to be scared of the dark forever. Because they'll be together, always, no matter what, and that's how it should be.
Something inside her stills (again). What if Roxas gets adopted? (In her mind, Xion will never be adopted. It isn't a possibility.) What if some grown-ups decide they like him too much and take him away from her? They won't want her, too, so she'll be left at the orphanage and then there won't be anyone to keep the other kids away or to give her a break or to share dessert with. She'll be all alone again. She doesn't want to be all alone again.]
Roxas, [she says, suddenly, desperately, her hand tightening on his] Roxas, why don't we go right now? Today? Just the two of us? No one would notice. There's too many people. We can just hide in them. And then -- And then, once we're free, we can go see all the worlds you want. It'll be great!
