Summary
No matter where I go, I feel the pull of it.
The music.
It’s a faint thing, but it’s been following me everywhere.
--
You can hear it too, can’t you?
~~~~
On the diegetic music that follows Kris and Ralsei around.

Summary
“Um. Dess? Can we go home now?” I still don’t know why she’s really brought me here.
There’s a moment’s pause, and I still have enough in me to feel a little jolt of worry that she’ll get upset.
…But then her hand goes over mine. She smooths out the fist I didn’t realize I was clenching, and her hand is so warm. It feels like a promise, curling over each finger, and pulling it closer to her side. My gaze slides up to her face.
…Her eyes are anything but warm.
She’s watching me, closely.
“You’re a big kid, yeah?”
Her hand is so warm.
“I need you to be brave for me, okay?”
It feels like a prison.

Summary
It’s been three damn months of me living a lie.
But every time I look at him, laughing and wonderfully warm, words of honesty die in my throat. I’m a selfish guy like that.
--
It's nearing the beginning of summer, and Yoshiki's out in the woods by his lonesome. Something's almost certainly taken over the body of his best friend, and Yoshiki's thoughts are always taking over his own mind.

Summary
Sunny grew up on Sunday school stories.
Sometimes, when he lays with Basil, he still thinks of them.
(Or: Sunny, after living with Basil for months, had started to get used to him turning the stove-tops on and back off again.)

Summary
Riku and Sora have been growing apart since Riku’s high school graduation last spring.
Riku’s fully aware it’s one-sided and self-inflicted, but that’s what makes it so painful.
(In which Sora just naps a lot because he’s got a fever, and Riku just watches Disney movies because Sora keeps putting them on, and lots of emotions happen and eventually they are addressed.)

Summary
The Ship of Theseus is a philosophical paradox of identity: Is a vessel made of replacement parts still the same one that existed originally, or a different one entirely?
“Who do you see when you look at me, Riku?” Roxas asks bluntly. The sharpness of his tone cuts off any further protest Riku might attempt. He’s not letting this go. He’s getting his answer.
“I see you, Roxas.”
“But I remind you of him.”
Or: Roxas is having a difficult time adjusting to life as his own person. He’s not the only one struggling to cope after everything.
