344 days. 21 more days before one year. Am I a different person than I was a year ago? Am I even a person here? I'm still part of Sora, but in a different place, can a person be a person without a heart?

I don't even have anyone I can ask without hearing the same answer; "You're not Sora, you're Roxas". I know that. To the Organization, I'm number XIII.

Xemnas is gone. Xigbar's actually trying to keep the Organization together, but for what purpose? It's useless to fight Sora, he already defeated all of them. Kingdom Hearts doesn't exist here, so what's left?

It was easier to be here without the Organization, without Olette even. I never had to explain things I didn't know how to really explain, and I was the same to every single person except for Sora, Riku, and Kairi.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be better if Aros was still here. He didn't talk a lot, but he got it. He completely understood.

When I was first born, my journal entries during my time in Never Was were very short and simple; "Today I did this. I completed this mission and then me and Axel met at the tower to eat ice cream." Suddenly they're much longer now.

Axel finally returned. He seems to be all right, but he's been sleeping a lot since he came back. He didn't seem injured, just tired. He's been sleeping almost straight through the past few days. I've been sitting on his bed reading. He wanted me to stay and so I did because best friends do what their best friends ask.

Kairi's gone though. Kidnapped, not gone. Sora and Riku are trying to find her but she's been missing for about a week. Maybe she'll be back soon. It seems that the Malnosso do a trade. Return one, take another.

Riku says I should "butt out" and let Sora and himself take care of it. Because Kairi's their friend and not mine. Because I'm not Sora and I'm not helpful. Because they don't need me. I don't know if he's right or wrong.

The sun hasn't been as bright as it should be.

It's been quiet lately, hasn't it? August is almost over, shouldn't people be out more?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That's what she said.

It's hard to believe I've already been here for a year.

You were only here a little bit before me, right?

I'm not sure... when did you arrive again?

Early September.

So then you got here about a month after I did, since I arrived in early August.

It's strange, isn't it? I used to think it was impossible to be here for years, but here we are.

Yeah...

But at least we have friends here.

Yeah. I never would've met you and everyone else if I hadn't been brought here in the first place.

That's at least one good thing about this place.

That's why I'm not going home until I find some way for all of us to keep in touch, or even visit each other.

Maybe it's the same idea...the worlds can be connected together by pathways. Sora did it.

Really? How?

I think it had something to do with locking the keyholes to the worlds. Or unlocking? I'm not really sure. We always just used portals, Sora traveled by gummi ship.

I'm not sure I really understand, but it might be worth looking into. If you guys could do it, that means that it is possible to travel between worlds.

Well...talk to Sora. He'd know more about it.

Thanks... I think I will! I'm not going to give up until I find a way.

That's the spirit.

You'll help too, right?

You bet.

And when we do go home, I promise I'll come visit you on your world.

Likewise. It'll be great.

I'll be looking forward to it, then!
