You're still you. Even if books say those things... anyone could see that you're not some scary story, or a monster. You're just you, Mary.
[she doesn't have to like it. and roxas wouldn't make her try, either. how could even begin to know what it's like to have that title attached.]
I dunno much about those things... monsters, or what's in storybooks. [so it's not like he can help. he barely knows who he is, aside from the fact that he's not meant to exist, that he's something unnatural to these worlds. but he knows that somehow, he exists in this way. his gaze averts for a moment as that thought comes to mind.
it's hard to try and make someone feel better about who they are when he can't even do the same for himself.] I don't really care about them, either.
[he pauses, sucking in a quiet breath before he finally admits something he hadn't really intended to.] It's not like I'm a normal person either. I guess you can say we're both... "special" that way.
[actually expanding on what he means? well, that's not going to come so easily, but if he can convey that she's not the only one, then maybe one day he'll become a step closer to saying it. it's hard to explain, when it's something he was told so much to not talk about. the only person who knows is riku, so it's possible his secret could be let out by someone else now, but there is that underlying concern that someone from the organization will find out he spoke of it.
...even if he's not sure why it's such a big secret to begin with.]
