Axel scowls when Saix snaps back at him but then his expression turns to one of of deep curiosity at the mentioning of tonight. If he thinks that he's having a hard time keeping his cool right now, when Axel can only imagine what's going to happen to him when the moon is high in the sky. And what about the phases? Those play a big factor too, don't they? Just thinking about it makes his head hurt, but at least Axel knows that he shouldn't be around anyone for as long as this curse lasts, at least not until he's certain he can control himself... which he doubts.

Furthermore, what Roxas is saying... bothers him. It makes him feel uneasy, uncomfortable, so much so that he starts to tighten his fingers into loose fists. It can't be possible. He couldn't have had his heart this whole time... could he? But there's no denying that while he was still in his body, Axel had felt bits and pieces of something here and there. Happiness, despair, anger--

Are those more than memories?

After a while he looks over to meet Roxas' glance. "... But I'm a Nobody," he mutters. "And you're a special case, right? We can't be the same." Now he's just going through denial, plain and simple. Now Axel has to look at his own chest and place a hand right over where Saix's heart would be. But there's nothing. Not even the slightest bit of something.

Suddenly, Axel seems to fly into a panic, because it's finally hitting him that he's not feeling anymore. He's that empty shell again, the one that can't laugh or cry or anything. And something keeps tugging at him but he can't figure out what but he wants to get away if only he could--! Axel abruptly stands from his seat so he can summon open a Corridor of Darkness. He should get out of here, shelter himself in the Darkness, before he ends up hurting someone.
