As Sora reads, he winces. And there's a pained expression on his face as he picks up writing again. The thought of fighting back, of leaving Pride, is one that goes against his programming. His heart and mind try to fight it, causing him pain. It's not the first time it's happened, but it's the first time he's become so acutely aware that there's something wrong with that and it's not something he should just brush aside.

This is the only life I really know, I'm still learning about you and the heartless and the other stuff. And I have friends that I have to protect who are going through the same thing as me. I can't leave them and I won't. Especially not Jamie, he's been through a lot already and I love him. I'll only leave if I can take them with me.

His handwriting is a little shaky, but there's determination in his expression despite the pain.
