osmandias!
A Nobody couldn't understand giving all of your self to a cause. They were missing vital parts, and you couldn't give what you didn't have.
Through the whole of their mission to create Kingdom Hearts- every operation to birth new Heartless, all their acts and all their interactions, they were keeping something back, something for themselves. They had to.
It was why they existed still.
Sora always threw himself into battle- he thrust and cut, slashed and skewered, with everything he had. There was nothing he didn't give, no move he was afraid to utilize, and he destroyed the Heartless opponents utterly. Sometimes, so quickly that his companions never realized there had been a fight.
It took Roxas time to fully comprehend. He didn't know what he was seeing- unused to any emotion at all, much less the utilization of them all at once.
Then Axel... saved them.
Then Roxas tried to prove he was the stronger half- and they fought... and he realized he wasn't... he didn't want to do this. He didn't lose the duel so much as he realized... he was fighting himself.
Sora put his all into battle.
Roxas felt it at last- part of that all- part of the whole and he...
You make a good Other.
Here in their weightless suspension, Xemnas leering over his fallen enemy/subordinate, Roxas could see his Other.
Even through the new found horror of Sora's immobility- feeling their heart as it was pulled from their chest, feeling himself separate from his Other, he didn't worry. He knew they would win.
We'll have to watch Riku, you know, he told Sora. He was like Axel. There were some people- a precious few- that Riku would give anything to protect. Sora was one of them.
I know.
Sora did. In his heart, he knew so many things. Roxas had learned, even if he could feel less right now- he could think. He realized Sora was powerful- and Riku, for those few special people, was powerful- because they didn't care about coming back.
They meant to- they'd try to- but if something needed to be done, they'd put everything they had into that purpose without worrying about how they'd get home afterwards. They were content- they could die and be happy knowing they'd eradicated five more Heartless- won the battle- destroyed Organization XIII- protected their friends.
Roxas felt Sora's warmth from a distance. His Other smiled at him.
You understand.
He did.
