And being a keyblade wielder means I'm suppose to protect the worlds and everyone in them and I haven't done a very good job of that since I've been here. We're all out of our element, Zack. Sometimes things happen that we can't control.
[Sora sighs softly, fighting down a cough by making it sound like he's clearing his throat instead.]
My best friend let darkness consume him and tried to kill me, Zack. And I forgave him. So I'm forgiving you, too.
But that's another thought that's lost- but it's hard not to lose it at a confession like that. Zack stares wide-eyed at his tablet, unblinking, as something in him twists hard. ]
