Just... hearing you say that. I may have doubted who I was, if I was really Sora with all that I've been through. Through the years that's what I told everyone else when they found out they were copies of the original. What I thought you would say. Sora was who I choose to be. You... you are Sora.

[A half-hearted smirk.]
A monster.

Without flinching, animosity or blame. So different from the first time. ]
I know us. I know what it takes to drag us into the darkness this far. I'm sorry.
[ For all the people Sky has lost, the ones he couldn't save, the ones he failed. ]
You aren't a monster. We all do things we're forced to. Terrible things.
