Awwwww, you get a cuddle back Roxas. And a head pat.

"For what it's worth, whenever anyone dies, all that's left eventually turns back to dust." He points a finger up at the sky. "Scattered all over the universe, the stardust is bits and pieces of everyone's life." He wanted to switch an arm to phoenix to give Roxas a better hug, but for now, he hopped up to sit next to him and kept his arm behind the kid's shoulders. And maybe switched parts of it to phoenix, shhhh.

"My Pops always told me that even when I buried him, he wouldn't be gone. Even when he was dust or less. Because so long as I hold the memory of him, he'll always be with me. So I'll tell you what, I'll always remember you, okay?"

And because he felt like crying, and like hell he'd ever admit it, he maybe leaned his head to the top of Roxas'. Such a good strong role model, yup.
