[Video] The Wheel Keeps on Turning.

[runbysmiles]

[ This time the announcement about Riku's departure is intentional. Sora's up on the island sitting on the beach. The sun is setting. He's had plenty of time since this morning to think about it, and he's actually able to smile a little at the camera. ]

Hey everyone, I just wanted you guys to know Riku went home again.

[ He forces the smile to stay on his face, acting as if everything's okay. He's sort of getting used to this by now, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt. ]

Kairi, if you didn't know yet, I'm sorry.

[ He actually seems a little sadder at that. He ends the transmission there without another word. Really there's nothing else to say. ]

[Axel huffs at that.]

What, fight for a cause he didn't even understand?

I'm sure he could understand 'rid the worlds of a great Heartless threat' well enough, since he did it fine just before.

That wasn't even the real reason. I told him the Organization intended to utilize the hearts he collected so Kingdom Hearts would be completed. ... But I never revealed what would happen after that.

[Which probably lead to Sora feeling even more uneasy about the Organization in the first place...]

You can't blame him for not knowing.

[And with how much the Organization had used him- what choice did the boy have?]

I can certainly blame him for other things.

[Killing him is the most obvious, of course... But Saix isn't above being petty enough to blame him for other things, even things he wasn't directly associated with.]

Such as?

[He knows your death for one thing, but-]

..I'm not going to talk about this on the network, you realize.

[Which means that he's willing to talk about it still. Axel pauses, just staring, then,]

If we take this elsewhere, we're gonna end up fighting, aren't we?

[croceamors]

We're always fighting.

[Even at their 'friendliest', they were still kicking each other's knees and elbowing each other like gradeschool children.]

[... Oddly, he smirks at that, even chuckles. How true is that. They bicker like an old married couple.]

I'm assuming you're at home.

[croceamors]

[That chuckle... makes him frown a bit. Axel always seems to be laughing at things Saix doesn't understand.]

Yes.

[And with that the video cuts off, nothing but the sound of Darkness replacing that ridiculous laughter.]
