[he nods to that if only because he can't fathom someone not being kind to yona. and then his expression turns into something a little more wistful, because even if he has a harder time talking about himself he's more than willing to talk about his friends.]
I miss them every day. But that's how our journey's always been. Even when we're worlds apart, we're still connected and we'll still find each other again. It's why I want to fix everything here as best as we can. They're waiting for me.
[maybe someday he'll go back to them, but there are still things making it difficult. he doesn't think of those though, and instead he looks a little embarrassed when soo-won says that.]
Well...I miss all of my friends, but my best friends are the ones I want to go back to. Riku and Kairi. We've been friends since we were really little and we all grew up together. Riku's a little older than us, but he's one of the strongest and bravest people I know. Even when--[...hm. okay, um...there's something there, something that he knows riku did to prove his strength, but for whatever reason it escapes him.
funny. but he continues to talk as if he didn't fumble for a bit.] We used to spar together a lot as kids, even if he was always the better fighter.
And Kairi's...really, really important to me. She was the whole reason I started my journey after our world was destroyed. It's always been about trying to find one or the other and bringing all of us home because we work best together. I don't think I would have ever made it this far without them. It's like we talked about yesterday, about balance. I think they're mine.
[...normally he would not have enough foresight to say so, but the topic's still fresh.]
[ . . . huh. soo-won notes the fumble, but he doesn't press it for now at least. rather, he listens and -
in all honesty it sounds so distantly familiar. to have someone who's the strongest and bravest person, to have a girl who pushes you to want to do better. it rings familiarly to soo-won, and there's a sort of understanding on his face as his mouth curves into a smile]
.... mm.
To have people who know you so well, who inspire you and carry you through the darkest moments.... I think that's a wonderful thing. You're lucky to have them.
[after it's all said and done, the only thing that can be said for sora is his expression is almost bittersweet in the way he looks happy to be able to remember them and saddened they're still far away. it's why he nods in agreement when soo-won speaks.]
I think so, too. They're the ones who give me strength. [he pauses then to reach into his pocket, procuring both a charm and a small doll that looks like some asshole.] Maybe it's stupid to keep carrying them around like this, but it's all I have right now. At least until I can figure out how to get back to them.
Tell that to some of the others. [but it's said with a kind of ease that indicates he truly doesn't mind.] But it's true. Kairi made me promise to bring her charm back to her anyway, so...it just means I have to keep going. And I'll help everyone I can along the way.
Everybody should have people like that, you know? [people to inspire them and give them strength.]
Yeah. That's exactly how I feel, too. Ochako and I were talking about this...about how everybody here has to have people they miss and how we can help make them feel a little less alone. I want to try to do that for people as best as I can.
[and so it's nice to think that soo-won feels similarly.]

Then we'll have to return you to them.
Could you tell me about them? There's something sweet about the way that your face lights up when you talk about the people you love.

As long as it matters to your heart, nothing like that could be stupid.
I think it's very sweet. If they give you strength, then it's only natural that you'd want to carry them with you, no?

It's a nice thought - at the very least, if people didn't have any friends like that before they came here, we can try to give them some, right?
