Shin isn't going anywhere. It's like all the energy drained from his limbs. Tears are still falling from his eyes, but it would be hard to otherwise know that he's crying. It's almost like his body didn't even know how to cry.

If Shin knew about Nobodies, he'd probably swear he had to be one somehow. Why else would someone feel so empty no matter what they tried?

He was hoping that Roxas would say that he cares. That he would be hurt. Everyone else was so far away, in another dimension that he hadn't even dared hope he could return to. But at the same time his mind wanted to reject that he could be missed. That things were better with him around. "What if they would hurt less than they would if I stay? Isn't that selfish too? To try so hard to stay when you only make things worse?"
