[ At the sound of someone at his door, the blond comes to the front of it almost immediately, opening it quickly out of curiosity, though he doesn't exactly expect who's standing there.
But the surprise fades soon enough. ]
...Did you want to talk?

[ She's still in her pajamas when she arrives. Lifting up the two mugs she brought. ]
Hello, Roxy. Yeah, I do and I thought tea sounded really good right now.
Hello, Roxy. Yeah, I do and I thought tea sounded really good right now.
...Come in.
[ It's pretty dark in here, sheets, chairs, floor included but it was what Roxas liked about in here. It was comforting in a way, though it doesn't even begin to mitigate the pain.
He'll then stand away from the door way so she can come further into the room. ]

[ Roxas, don't become the new Goth Sora.
She'll walk in and place the drinks down for a moment. ]
How are you doing, Roxy?

[ He was wearing black like it's fashionable before Sora even knew what Goth meant!!
He'll reach over for one of the drinks set down. ]
I'm alive for now, so I guess as okay as I have to be.
[ Hah. ]
What about you?

[ PHYSICALLY she is fine!
She is actually feeling bad. ]
I'm alive, too. I'm really bummed and I keep thinking how maybe it would have been different if we could have found him, you know?

[ After what'd happened, Roxas decided to lead her straight to his room, and after getting some treats (hint hint). It wasn't very difficult to get the door open with his key either, and there we go! In his room once more.
He makes sure to step aside for a moment so he can let her enter the room proper, and then use his one free hand to close the door behind him. ]
You can sit anywhere you want, alright?
[ Then, right after, he holds out one of the sea salt ice cream he had asked from one of the Staff right to her. ]
And here, try this. It's actually really good.

... I know.
[ If they'd found him, then they may have been able to save him. But, unfortunately that didn't happen - it was always too late by the time anyone arrived on the scene.
Around this time he has a sip of the tea - he wasn't a fan, but he liked tea much more than coffee. ]
We're going to need to find out who did it tomorrow too. Do you think we're going to be able to manage that?

Yeah. Yeah, I do. And even if we don't, Sataling said we could use what we learn to prepare better for the next time.
[ And there's something about that...about having a next time even if the circumstances are shitty, that keeps her hopeful. She hopes they can find the answers before then to prevent it, but they still have a next. ]

[ Roxas almost feels himself scoff at that. If they failed again, what was stopping them from not failing once more? But he keeps his mouth tightly shut on that, trying not to dash someone's hopes again.
So he stares into his tea, considering his words. ]
I hope for all of us that we do somehow manage that. But, I think you're right even if we don't.
[ If only he believed that. ]
It's not like we can let failure stop us, even if things get painful because of it.

[ Letting herself be lead back into the batcave. She's standing there, feeling pretty numb until he says something. Lifting her head up to look at him, her eyes bright from crying and she will give a nod. Then she just sits on the floor next to the bed. Being a floor critter sounds good about that. ]
What's this?
[ Taking the ice cream and then it clicks in after a moment. Oh. ]
Did you ask the staff?
What's this?
[ Taking the ice cream and then it clicks in after a moment. Oh. ]
Did you ask the staff?
[ Roxas keeps checking to make sure if she's crying again or not in between this as well. Then, he'll grab a pillow from his bed as she takes a seat on the floor. ]
It's Sea Salt Ice Cream. I used to share it all the time with my friends [ Fake memories included he guesses ] and it was really good. Salty but sweet.
I did ask the Staff for them - a lot of them, really.
[ He tosses a pillow over to nearby her, before he grabs another. ]
If you're going to be sitting on the floor how about sitting on this?

[ Roxas is unbelievably mentally tired after all of that but it doesn't keep him from coming straight by Cinque's, giving the door a knocking. He wants to talk to her ... he doesn't how this conversation will go but things have been really spun on their head right now. ]
Cinque, can we talk?
Cinque, can we talk?
[ Opening the door immediately. She lights up for a moment, until she sees he seems kind of tired. Frowning and then waving him in. ]
Yeah, we can talk Roxy. What's wrong?
Yeah, we can talk Roxy. What's wrong?
[ It's just been a long trial and it's mostly draining on him. ]
I don't know, I think I'm just...kind of nervous. Because of everything, and maybe a little about being exposed.
[ But he doesn't regret it. It's easy to tell with no traces of that in his eyes. ]
...I wanted to more make sure you were doing okay, though. You're still my friend too, Cinque.
[ Even after everything. Roxas had said as much but considered it a promise - he wanted to save her. Both her and Makoto...and everyone.
And you know what? It was his choice. For once it was something he got to decide on his own, and not be forced into it. ]

[ She nods. ]
I think I know how that feels, but it'll be okay. I'll do my best to keep you safe, Roxy. And I'm glad you saved him. I'm so glad... Thank you.
[ She really was. It's been a relief to share what she is and to make steps to keep Akira safe. ]

I'll do my best to keep you safe too, okay?
[ Roxas looks determined when he says that, because yeah, he wants to protect his friends too -- like how he did with Akira. But he looks kind of surprised when he's thanked, and he doesn't know what to do with himself when people had told him "thanks". So many people had cared about Akira, it's so...astounding, and a big relief too. ]
I only did what was natural, I think. I'm sure there were many others that would've done the same.

[ Aww. Roxas. ]
I'll be okay, but thank you Roxas.
[ It's really sweet. She'll then give a nod. ]
Yeah, I think they would. I hope he realizes people actually care now.
[ And won't let him choose the self sacrifice route. :< ]
How are you feeling? I know all of that was...
[ YOU KNOW NUTS ]
I'll be okay, but thank you Roxas.

If you say so. Let me know if you have any problems, okay? I got your back.
[ They're in this together. They have to work everything out somehow... ]
I hope he realizes that too. [ ... ] I think I'm feeling... I'm not sure? It was a lot all at once. It's still kind of overwhelming if I'm being honest - I didn't expect what happened to happen... none of it, really.
[ Including Cinque's reveal, which kind of makes him pause, as he was still coming to terms with that. ]
What about you? You just said all of that and revealed some shocking things too.

[ Roxy is the best. She moves in to hug him. ]
Roxy...
[ It kind of makes her happy she has people who really like her here.tfw maf and the town are friends ]
Right? There was a lot of unexpected things that happened.
[ And thinking or a moment. ]
Hmm. I was planning on revealing it anyways... it feels much, much lighter though.

[ Roxas will be returning the hug, gently and slowly. He's been learning over the course of everything that is this horrible experience that he's liking hugs a lot. ]
Wait...you were? When were you planning on doing it?
[ It's asked out of simple curiosity if anything.
All this time she's been looking out for them as best as she, hasn't she? Which reminds him, there's been something he's wanted to say- ]
I'm kind of really grateful you did speak up too. So, thanks for that.

[ Hugs are very nice! ]
I was going to be Akira for the next murder night and wait for Ami.
[ Sounded like a good idea at the time she was thinking of it. ]
I'm glad. I'm glad it did something.

[ They are!! ]
You were what?
[ Roxas' voice raises, as he pulls back a bit, blue eyes on her and then he just sighs, shaking his head. ]
...It looks like there are other reasons it was good I did that when I could.
[ For example, prevented that night from happening at all. ]

[ She's from post game so... sacrificing yourself because it means choosing your own path and the way you live for the last chapter of the game, and helping others is very much a thing she knows how to do.
Even though she doesn't really want to die, but she knows she's not alone with Doppel there so... #yolo?]
Whoops.
[ Yeah. That's all she has. ]
It's okay. I'm okay now.
[ At least for now until someone decides to take her out? But she'll deal with it when it happens \o/ ]

[ The only reason why Roxas isn't steamed is because things didn't go south and he was able to even prevent her plan from coming to fruition. ]
...And that's what matters. Just try not to come up with something too risky in the future.
[ Someone better not, or there will be Words. ]
I have a question, though - what's it like having Doppel with you? Do you guys hear each other think and all that?
