[Roxas couldn't help the surprised look that briefly settles on his face. Given the type of life he's lead, it's easy to forget that there are others who haven't lived their lives fighting. Even without living a life of combat, though, he can understand being worried about those you care about getting hurt. But hearing that Kotori considers him and Shizuo to be her best friends, and showing such concern... it makes a feeling he's not quite sure how to describe bubble in his chest.]

I... I know. I'd rather not have anyone else get hurt either. I just know that if we didn't do something, others will get hurt. But, Shizuo is strong, and has a strong heart. If there's anyone who can stop Hyde and bring Disciple back safely, it's him. You just have to believe in him. And it's like you said; we have allies if we things go badly. We're not alone.

[He pauses after he says it, a wry smile coming to his face. Perhaps his time in Sora's heart has affected him, too.]
