[Axel hears Roxas storm past them but it doesn't even faze him, he's still just stating into Sora's room. He doesn't look down at Xion when she calls his name, only steps around her to move inside the now empty space there. He doesn't say anything for a long moment, just trying to take it in.

Sora's really gone.

There's a few more seconds of silence before the sound of the bottom of Axel's boot kicking the dresser is heard. Hard enough to force it back against the wall and probably leave a mark.

Stupid Sora. Stupid emotions he made Axel feel when he shouldn't. Stupid—]

Sora.

[Axel finally turns to look down at Xion now. When he speaks his voice sounds so betrayed.]

He'll be back.
