[ Does he believe Arden? It's hard to say. With everything that's happened in the span of almost a year, with how much he's given up, how much he's simply stopped caring (look at his hair), it's difficult to see past his own self-loathing, his guilt, regret, the shame that he carries with him everywhere he goes. He's trying to make up for it... he is, he's telling himself that he is with everything that he's doing but it's just... so hard, so difficult to see any sort of light for himself... and the light can't help him right now, that's why he blinds himself to it.
So of course believing any of this is a hard pill to swallow and Arden is certainly not the last who will try to make him believe.
A certain conversation with Sora prior to his being crystallized rings through his thoughts and it has him wanting to disbelieve Arden's words; insecurities are so dangerous for the mind at times. ]
Maybe it's all I need.
[ Maybe it's all he wants to know.
A shake of his head, he gives a heavy sigh, clearing his throat again. it's definitely a lot easier to breathe now and it doesn't feel like anything is injured on the inside. ]
