Friendship isn't limited to ice cream. Back when he was new, Roxas' entire understanding of the concept revolved around those times they bought the sea-salt popsicles and ate them up on the tower, but now he knows that there could be no more ice cream in this or any world and they'd still have what really matters.

But still, it's comforting to know it's here, even if it doesn't taste the same. He hasn't lost everything that was ever his.

"I can handle that," he says with a laugh. Maybe...maybe Sora can join them, sometime. Not right away. Knowing his other half like he does now isn't the same as being friends with him, and Roxas wants that to happen for real now that they have the chance. And oh yeah, Sora.

"I need to find Sora later, too," he adds. "I'm glad he brought me here right away, but we only got to talk for a little while by the pods. And there's a lot to talk about."
