[It takes a little bit for him to disentangle that statement and the sentiment behind it - she was so anxious to get to Sora, but it was really Roxas she was worried over? Well, okay, he could see that. Roxas was a part of Sora, after all. And Ven still doesn't know exactly what she wanted with Sora, but he can tell it wasn't anything bad.]

[Or at least, he hopes it isn't. It didn't feel like it. Sad, maybe, but not bad. He squeezes her hand a little harder briefly, just reassuring her that he's there.]

Okay, maybe you went for Roxas instead of Sora. You still did something to help and protect a friend. You chose to do that. Choosing to do something like that... [He closes his eyes and shakes his head a bit; the memories are still so clear even a year and a half later for him, thirteen years in reality.] I did it, too. There was someone who was threatening my friends, wanted to hurt them and make them do terrible things, and he would keep making the people I loved suffer until I fought him. It's... complicated, but fighting him was a really bad idea for a lot of reasons, but I did it anyway to protect my family and my friends. It destroyed my heart - took me years to get it back. But I'd do it again in a second if it meant keeping the people I care about safe.

It sounds like you'd do, or did, the same thing.
