Roxas gives a start, too, at the burst of fire, but this one goes out quicker, and it seems like added proof. "You keep freaking out- 'cause you can't help it, right?" Right? Saix has been a lot more expressive than he would have expected.

"I can't explain why. I just know that- how I am now doesn't feel as different from having a heart as it used to. I think- Axel's the same." He shifts uncomfortably, because it's never easy trying to express his suspicions to anyone, and explaining it to Saix of all people... He's never put it into so many words with Axel either, and now he gives his friend a hesitant glance. He didn't say Roxas was wrong.
