[...To be honest, he is glad for it - even though he doesn't quite agree maybe, but even so he's still glad that she isn't fearing him, because unlike Kairi (or Sora, if he were awake) she knows exactly what is hidden within the abyss of his darkness.
There is bitterness, there is guilt, past shadows stirred and restless in his heart and mind, but he shoves it all away, because the friend before him needs him to, especially now when she looks so much more vulnerable than ever before. No matter what memory her powers call to his mind, he will endure. This can't last forever, after all.
