[lethechained]

I think it's wonderful that you have been. [For both of them. Congratulations, Dataxas, Mother is proud of you.] He needs it. ['And so do you.']

[key_illusion]

[Yes, approval is nice. (Though, he wishes she could say it out loud.)]

I was surprised he considered me a friend though. [After all the things he's been doing...]

[lethechained]

You didn't think he did? [What have you been up to, Dataxas?]

[key_illusion]

I didn't understand what having a friend means, but I think I'm starting to understand.

[Oh, just making people feel uncomfortable.]

[lethechained]

I'm so glad. [She knows this isn't what he was made for, but,] This really is a wonderful opportunity. [For him, and her, and everyone else with similar existences.]

[key_illusion]

You've made friends here too, right?

[lethechained]

[....]

I have. [As far as she's able to, of course.]

[key_illusion]

I'm glad. You deserve to have a lot of friends.

[Mother deserves to have a lot of things.]

[lethechained]

[--....]

[Oh, Dataxas. Such a good son.]

Even after everything? [Everything she's done, to him, to others?]

[key_illusion]

Of course. You've helped everyone in your own way.

[lethechained]

[Except it was never enough--]

Thank you for thinking so well of me.

You deserve to have friends too.

[key_illusion]

[And he doesn't necessarily need them...

What are these two going to do?]

I'm glad to have the ones that I do have.

[lethechained]

[Be silly, probably.]

I'm glad you have them too.

So it's not just Roxas?

[key_illusion]

[Very silly.]

Xion and a woman named Nina.

[lethechained]

[... Xion. Hm.]

How did you meet them?

[key_illusion]

I talked to Xion when she arrived. [Hence their previous conversation about her.]

I met Nina at the park.

[lethechained]

I see. They've been kind to you? [Well, obviously that would be the implication, it's just... she can't help wanting to know the details.]

[key_illusion]

Yes. [Though he won't explain Xion's initial wariness of him.]

Xion said that we'll have ice cream together someday. [Not that he can eat it.] And Nina gave me an umbrella. We watched the sunrise together.

[lethechained]

Good. [Something in her chest clenches.]

That sounds like a lot of fun. [....]

Are you happy?

[key_illusion]

[That's a really tough question, Mother...]

Maybe. I'm not sure.

[lethechained]

[That's why she hesitated to ask it.]

That's okay. You don't have to be. [There's a chance, right?] Will you tell me when you are? [No pressure intended.]

[key_illusion]

I'll try. [Sadly, he's in too much denial about his own feelings. So much denial everywhere.

After all, how can someone be happy when they're in so much pain?]

[lethechained]

[Like Mother like Son?]

Thank you. Please don't feel like you have to decide quickly. [But that's not to say she doesn't want him to seek out what happiness he can.]

[key_illusion]

Okay.

Are you happy too?

Has anyone been bothering you? [Because he'll beat them up for you, Mother. Let him be useful.]

[lethechained]

[....]

As much as I can be. [As close to it as she can be?]



No one new. [But beating people up means running the risk of being beaten up himself, and they can't have that.]
