Maybe he won't. Maybe none of them will. This world is strange and I don't know any magic that brings people back to life. [ But... Sora's voice takes on such hope and connviction that it's hard to see her words ever swaying his feelings. ] I believe that we can find a way. Some way to bring them all back to life and win this game for good. We're stronger when we stand together when we have someone to hold us up and keep us moving forward.
[ She must have seen some terrible things to feel this way and knowing that she's suffered so much hurts. Slowly, giving her the opportunity to move away, he reaches up to place a hand on top fo her head. ]
The choices we make are important, no matter the outcome. [ He gives her a bright truthful smile. ] I'd rather sacrifice myself than have to kill or use one of my friends. So if you're ever in trouble, come to me and I'll help you out.
Resurrection only works if it's within a minute or two of death. After that, nothing can bring them back. If that were possible, no one would ever lose anyone they care about. There's no reason to believe being here can or will change that, so don't get your hopes up.
[But he's right that there's nowhere to go but forward. Time marches relentlessly, after all, Score or no Score. But then he's patting her head and....no. Why? Why does he have to sound exactly like-?! She steps back as if burnt.]
My brother Roxas has been in a situation like this before and has seen a lot of miraculous things happen, so I'm gonna trust in him and hope for the best.
[ Sorry Anise but this is just who Sora is. A guy who has way too much hope and naivety to ever think otherwise. When she steps back, he doesn't follow after but lifts his hand to scratch at his cheek. ]
Of course not, but if my only choices are to die or to kill a friend - I know what my answer will be.
I really hope that's not true, at least here. But no matter what we can't let that stop us from enjoying the relationships we could have with each other.
[ Growing up on a battlefield means she may have lost a lot of friends, accepting that the dead could come back to life here... must be extremely hard for Anise. Impossible maybe. It may even make her angry or sad.
Sora doesn't know who "he" is, possibly someone she knew back home. ] Look, I'd fight to defend myself and protect my friends but I'm not about to kill someone just because they're forced to play this stupid game. Seems to me that everyone here would rather not play.
Look where 'not wanting to play' got Ren and Minato. It will happen again. It'll happen again, and again, and again.
[Getting close to others just creates more weaknesses. Not as in outsiders exploiting those bonds. After all, the people you trust most are the ones who know your guard is down around them. And they'll be the ones who can hurt you the most.]
That may be true but I can only be who I am. I'm not going to let this change me.
[ For Sora creating bonds has always strengthened him - not weakened him. Even if that means a friend betrays him for some reason or another. He smiles at her, bright and warm. ]

[Luke, Ion. Asch. Even Sync. Guy's sister. So many others, dead for Van's pursuit of glory. Never to return. Nothing will ever bring them back.]
It's not-- It's not about who you'd kill, it's about who's going to kill you! Or use you! Or both! Stop-- Stop talking like him!

Sure I can. Just like I'm gonna trust in you.
