[He listened to her explanation intently, at least as best he could considered how fragmented it ended up coming out. Clearly something that happened to him struck some kind of chord within her -a very unpleasant one at that too. It was somehow strange and then somehow painted a clearer picture of his friend at the same time. She'd accepted the fate she believed she had no choice in with the understanding that someone would care for him. It made him feel a little bad, really -Xion had thought of him to the end in that respect.
Granted, to him at least, it still didn't justify anything. It just made her angle a little more understandable.
However Namine's definition of "watching over him" ended up being little more than throwing him a few cryptic clues.
"You won't disappear! You'll be whole!"
Part of him inwardly scoffed at that. If anything, he felt alienated existing within Sora; a character out of place in a storybook of wondrous memories. He had to wonder for a little, just who was to blame for that. Had it been Namine just paying lip-service to get Sora back? Did she plan to do more, but Riku or DiZ stopped her? It seemed for every question he had answered, at least two new ones appeared in its place.
In either case, that was all done. Nothing could change what happened and right now, one of his best friends needed him to do something before she came apart again.
You're always worrying about me... thanks Xion.
He could practically hear those words being spoken, but for some reason, something inside him said that this wasn't the time to say a thing like that. So for now, he shuffled it into memory, giving her a firm squeeze before offering a smile in return. It seemed more a 'kicked puppy' smile, but he was at least trying to cheer her up.]
It's okay. We can't do anything about what happened back then.
Stupid subject field...

At least we're both here now, right?
