So Sora's gone... It's already been more than a day, so I doubt he just ran off. Guess that means everything's on hold. Xion, hope you don't mind, but we may have to wait a while before we set sail again. Not like it'd be a smart idea to take off in this weather, anyway. The last time we did we all got soaked.

By the way, looks like I really did start something. Think I've lost count of how many people've made entries like mine now.

You mean it wasn't Sora?

[filtered]

[perplexme]

Sora was next in line.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Then who was the first?

[filtered]

[perplexme]

Who do you think?

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

It was me, wasn't it?

So why did it choose him?

[filtered]

[perplexme]

Because you chose the darkness.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

...

Well, okay. Suppose I don't choose the darkness here. Then what?

[filtered]

[perplexme]

...how would I know? You'd throw off the balance.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

"Balance", huh? So you're saying I pretty much have to give in?

[filtered]

[perplexme]

If you don't want to mess up Sora and Kairi's future, I'd say that'd be a good idea.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Does it even make much of a difference while I'm here?

[filtered]

[perplexme]

You'd be surprised.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

So, what? You expect me to betray my friends?

Fat chance that's going to happen in this place.

[filtered]

[perplexme]

Listen! If you don't give into the darkness, you won't follow the path you're supposed to take and then Kairi's heart will never be recovered, Sora would be the one floundering in the darkness and I would never remerge with him because you wouldn't be around to stop me from leaving!

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

And that's there, this is here. Who's to say I'll even remember this place when I leave? I don't see why I should just give in here, where none of that even matters.

[filtered]

[perplexme]

Then don't. Go ahead and be foolish, see where it gets you.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid of the darkness.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to do things just because of fate. Why should I even listen to you? You may claim to know everything Sora knows, but I doubt you know me the way he does.

[filtered]

[perplexme]

Probably not. But then again, I doubt you know Sora the way I do.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

...

You may be his Nobody, but you didn't grow up with him. You probably haven't been around half the time I've known him.

[filtered]

[perplexme]

...technically, physically, no. But considering that I'm part of him, I've been around longer than you've known him, possibly. That's what I'm saying, we don't know that what happens here doesn't affect what happens at home, so why would you risk it?

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Because it's worth the risk.

And I doubt Kairi would agree with any of this.

[filtered]

[perplexme]

...I don't know, Riku.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

You're not going to change my mind. You can try all you like, but my mind's made up...

[filtered]

[perplexme]

...fine. Maybe Kairi will talk some sense into you. [and with that Roxas shuts the journal quietly, sufficiently cutting off the discussion]
