We don't really have much of a starting point. I think...we're really going to just need to make one ourselves, but there's a lot to look over that I just also believe that maybe we'll be able to make something from it.

[it's kind of nice, hearing that kind of confidence-- that kind of resolve-- from Roxas. Akira is pretty determined himself, but after losing so many important people? he may need a little bit of a reminder to hold onto that determination]
[ Roxas didn't want to think that they would be facing only failure after everything he's been told, after he'd finally had enough, and part of him wanted a chance to be there for someone, like they were for him. Even if he was no Sora, he can do that much.

It...won't be easy, it's never that easy, and if I'm being honest, there's a chance we could fail again. But that's why we need to come together and work our hardest to make sure that doesn't happen.
And despite of everything, despite of all the odds against us...I want to believe in all of us. That we can make it through this - and we won't fail when the time comes tomorrow.
[ Because as long as they believe they will find a way, the strength of that conviction might be that which carries them forward. ]

That's a great way to put it, Roxas.

I guess it doesn't sound entirely like I pulled it out of my bum or something.

It sounds like you really thought it through, actually.
