Like I said. You can stay here for a while if you want. I won't nag you. Just want to give you options while you're thinking about what to do.

[innermonologues]

You're not going to ask why?

[nofarplaneyet]

I have a few ideas why. But it's up to you to say. This looks like something you're going to decide on your own. Me telling you what to do won't really help this time.

So. Make your own choice and stick with it.

[Unless your choice is super dumb and dangerous. Then he's bailing you out.]

[ Squall falls silent for a long while. It was humiliating talking about this. It was humiliating to have all these thoughts in his head, and he didn't want others to see just how pathetic he was.

But... Auron he could trust, couldn't he? Squall was wringing his hands, wincing as he did so. ]

I wasn't able to save him.

[nofarplaneyet]

Sora, you mean? Yeah...I couldn't do anything at all.

He choked me out and I passed out. Couldn't even use a sword at all. It...it's a little humbling. But sometimes you can't do it all.

[ Squall gripped the fabric of his pants tightly, wincing from the pain in his broken wrist. ]

I should have been able to help. I should have been able to stop him. But I couldn't. I can't do anything...

[ He apologizes, Auron, but a stormy looking clock begins to form over his head. ]

[nofarplaneyet]

[That's a new one, from what he's seen of Squall's emotions.]

Did anyone ever figure out how Sora did what he did?

[innermonologues]

Not that.. I know of. I haven't really talked to him since it happened.

[nofarplaneyet]

Maybe once he feels more comfortable, he'll feel like talking.

[innermonologues]

It's not like he's the only one avoiding though...
