Hi hello may we discuss a thing
Right after Lea's "So, you found her? I helped you rise up the ranks, so I hope it paid off," Isa gives this rather visceral reaction and it hurts my heart bc of course he knew he hadn't succeeded in finding X, but for LEA to prod that bruise...
@lilacandvani11a Then Lea, who I'm sure is plenty self-conscious about it, especially in front of Isa, could get all, "So you can't even look at me now?" and it could spiral into a Thing even if a lot of it isn't about the scar itself at that point
(Lea's trauma doesn't get talked about enough!)
@lilacandvani11a This would make it real, though, a moment of horrified "Did I do that?" He can't pretend it was "just" Axel he hurt; that hurt carried over into Lea
@hahaoatmeal I saw a comic once of Isa apologizing to Demyx and Demyx wondering afterwards if he has a shot, which is how I feel every interaction someone has with Isa would go lmao
Poor Lea. Now there are THREATS
Which, on the one hand, Isa has to be like, "Roxas, stop saying I killed people, even if it's true" but also it's the first time Roxas has used anything but disdain when referring to him so he's just, "Wait no I can work with this"
Concept: No one in town likes Isa and he can't figure out why because no one there even knew Saïx, then he discovers that since Roxas isn't allowed to fight at school, he pushes back against attempted bullying with like "Yeah well did you know MY dad went to prison for MURDER"
@hahaoatmeal NO LITERALLY
Yet, he then goes on to hatch a treason and resurrection plot from right under xehanort's nose, so clearly something had to have happened to put a crack in that mind control
do you think that's the moment isa v2 began to regrow his heart
like kingdom hearts doesn't work, he's kidnapped, he wakes up to fuckin braig and xehanort's punk-ass younger self, he's norted and turned into a nobody again, atp he just gives up, why bother caring anymore
