I obeyed him, sitting on his bed cautiously, scared for what was to come. He knelt down before me, I could see the pain riddled in his incandescent green eyes. I desperately wanted to reach out and hold him. so broken...   He sighed, lowering his gaze to the floor instead of at me. I as I sat in waiting, I was still confused about what was to unfold before me. When he finally spoke, it sounded of both frustration and pain..  "(y/x/n), you deserve to know why and how you got here. I was sent to Twilight Town to find someone. A keyblade wielder to replace someone I... to replace our Number XIII rank, Roxas was his name given to him by Xemnas. He had found out some dark and dirty secrets, the icky jobs of the organization had made me, his friend, do to others within the order. So while out in Twilight Town, I was overcome by my rage, my pain, my, I guess, loneliness. As a result of it, (y/x/n), I took it out on a wall..." I was shocked, I knew he had a temper, and it tend to heat things up a bit, but to resort to hitting a wall and injuring himself... I reached out a gloved hand, to offer a bit of comfort, but he retreated from me. "Axel, please... Axel, are you okay?" He sighed, frustration laced on his breath.  What did I do to upset him? Did my constant presence bring about painful memories?   "(y/x/n), for once in your life, stop trying to be so nice! The world isn't a nice place, we aren't nice people here, and if maybe, just for a second you'd realize that, maybe you wouldn't have wound up here!!! You could still be with your little moogle in your shop, synthesizing needed whatevers..." I looked at the now very heated man before me,  My shop? A moogle? What...  "What are you talking about Axel? I don't understand..." My voice wavered, pain pinged in my void heart, sorrow laced every word I spoke.   What's wrong with me?  "Well, if you would listen instead of offering me comfort.. " He started, annoyed wwith me so I simply nodded in compliance as he carried on. "That day, I met a girl, she was shorter than me, not so much younger though, her eyes were (e/c), (h/l) (h/c) hair, and (s/c) skin. Something about her... just something about her stood out to me. Maybe it was the way her aura gave off something...warming, so full of light and hope. Heh, I guess that's what drew me to her, she gave me the same feeling as Number XIII, Roxas. So, after she caught me punching the wall, she talked to me a bit and I followed her back to her shop, on the way we encountered a large collection of heartless, and that's how I found out that she was a keyblade wielder." I just simply nodded as he continued on with his story about this little wielder. " I should've have told Saix that day that I found the wielder but I didn't want the same thing to happen to her like it did to Roxas, so I kept her a secret for as long as I could, she became my friend. (y/n), you became my friend and I never wanted you to become a part of this, I should've went outside to stop Xigbar but I..."

(y/n)? That's not.. My name is..

I began to feel dizzy, it felt as if Axel's room suddenly became a teacup ride gone out of control. I felt my consciousness begin to slip away as everything began to fade to darkness, I only heard the sound of Axel getting up and calling my name. My eyes began to flutter as I was losing the fight to stay awake, suddenly I could no longer hear Axel talking to me, rather it were someone new.
