[Sora guesses Riku has sort of hurt him in the past, but that was technically Ansem, so it's not like Sora blames him... but, oh, that's not actually what she's talking about (which makes sense, because how would she even know about any of it?). His eyes widen with realization once he does get it, though.]
Wait! [He hops back up to a standing position, spreading his arms out as if that would seriously do anything to stop her from leaving if she decided to take off.]
I don't know how you know Roxas, but I'm not him. He's here-- [he places a hand over his chest] --inside my heart. But he's not me. He's his own person, and he always has been! He's still here, and maybe he is still hurting, but we can figure out how to help him without anybody else getting hurt, either. Even Riku. [His eyes widen a bit, as though he's just barely remembered-- and he sort of has, because he wasn't particularly thinking about what he was up to back home at the moment.] Actually, Riku's trying to help me find a body for him! He wants to help Roxas!
