Thirty-Ninth Keychain-[Written]

[perplexme]

Naminé's gone, isn't she.

It's that time of year again, isn't it? For the snow and everything...it's kind of nice. Just means it's closer to Christmas.

How many worlds are there that actually get snow? My world never did.

[Filtered to Xion]

Hey...I'm ready to talk about...whatever it was you wanted to tell me.

[Filtered to Axel]

We need to talk.

[Filtered to Sora]

...have you met Xion?

[perplexme]

[Nods and just looks at him again.] Okay.

[Action]

[flaring]

But do you see why I didn't want to tell you a lot of this stuff?

[Action]

[perplexme]

Because you knew I'd get upset about it?

[Action]

[flaring]

And there's still more I haven't told you.

[Action]

[perplexme]

I figured as much. It's getting harder for you to lie to me, Axel.

[Action]

[flaring]

...heh, so you noticed.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Didn't know I wasn't supposed to.

[Action]

[flaring]

Sometimes it's easier to lie.

[Action]

[perplexme]

And when you get caught?

[Action]

[flaring]

That's when you stopped trusting me.

[Action]

[perplexme]

It's a double-edged sword...I don't get it.

[Action]

[flaring]

You being upset at me for lying is better than you being upset at the truth.

[Action]

[perplexme]

...then don't tell me the truth.

[Action]

[flaring]

Yeah, wish it were still just that easy.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Well what do you want me to say, Axel?

[Action]

[flaring]

Uh, nothing?

[Action]

[perplexme]

...fine.

[Action]

[flaring]

...this screwed everything up again, didn't it?

[Action]

[perplexme]

...I don't know.

[Action]

[flaring]

...great.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Let me think.

[Action]

[flaring]

Fine.

[And with that he's walking away.]
