Beautiful, seriously. I love good character pieces about the 13, and this totally hits the spot.
As for Sora ... I'm not a mindless character defender, but I can totally understand the way he played things, and I'm not really sure that the fact that he didn't show his sympathies for the nobodies didn't mean that he didn't have them at all, especially after the ordeal with Axel at the end. Unfortunately, what they were trying to do involved the destuction of many, many things, and that's not terribly justifiable, especially to a fourteen-year-old who gets attacked and/or mindfucked by them every time the parties cross paths.
And I'm sure Roxas is going to grief him enough over it, in that nice long stay inside Sora's head. Roxas is the one that is kind of enigmatic to me: he was a nobody, without a heart or the true accompanying feelings, but thanks to the merge with Sora, is he going to get that missing piece back, or is he kind of going to be Sora's dark, pragmatic conscience?
