At the mention of Axel and his whereabouts, Roxas looks away. He'll deal with that later.

"No! It...it doesn't have to be like that. Sora...Sora's here to. I was supposed to go back to him to but I didn't, but he's here and he's fine, somehow.

This place...this world. We're allowed to exist here."

Even if he has a hard time believing in it or trusting it, it's worked so far. And it's all he's really got to cling to right now. Still, his gaze remains on the ground.

"Axel...he's not here. He was, but then he went back to our world."
