[Terra goes quiet, and Sora worries for a moment if he might have talked too much and gone too far, if the older wielder wanted to be left alone with his thoughts and doesn't want to be bothered by a chatterbox like him. Then again, Terra was the one who sought him out. Maybe neither of them really want to be alone at a time like this.
He releases a breath he hadn't realised he was holding as Terra's hand covers his heart and he repeats his words back to him, but it doesn't completely alleviate his concerns. He just sounds so tired, and Sora can relate. It's easier to be tired and sad and stop than to keep smiling, keep going and try to bring hope to everyone else, but after what happened in the dream... Sora won't let himself think that way. There's too much at stake if he stops, and even without the threat of Xehanort looming close on the horizon, he made a decision when he failed the Mark of Mastery exam that he wasn't going to be that weak again. Hadn't he always tried his best to be bright and positive and believe in the best outcome? So why should he stop now?
Sora sees what Riku's become, he knows that there is always a way out, a way forward, a path to the light that might be hard to follow sometimes, but he knows that he can get there too. Everyone needs him to be strong, so he will be strong. That's all there is to it.

Terra speaks to him, and Sora looks up at him.]
Yeah, Terra?
