The more I think about it the more I realize that my journey through life has really mirrored Roxas and I think that's why he means so very much to me.
A boy that was never meant to exist, in a way literally in the wrong body, constantly fighting to have some semblance of control in his own life.
I feel like his life in the organization in those 358/2 days is similar to my experience in school. Almost a shell of himself, learning and becoming a little, but extremely fragile.
He has to go through quite a bit there before he finally leaves that part of life behind him.
For a while he doesn't really have anywhere to go or anything to do other than wander, mulling over why this hand was dealt to him.
Until eventually? He meets himself...sora. him, but also not him, somewhat different.
His hate for sora makes me think of my journey transitioning, being so angry at a part of myself that just wanted a chance to live and breathe.
So I feel like Roxas is the woman in me, shouting out, screaming for air, wanting to live and be loved, and that culminates into his fight in 2, with the other promise in the background, not a quick cool boss beat, something much more somber and slow, you feel his pain through the whole fight
...and while he does lose, I feel like that for me would be the sheer amount of masking I did.
He does eventually get accepted by sora, realizing that they need to coexist and care for one another, this allows him to be at peace for a while, this for me would be me slowly experimenting with being a femboy.
But after everything, in 3, due to everyone loving and caring so very much for him, they get him his own body, they allow him to fully live, and it's such a beautiful moment I can't even really properly express how much him showing up in that game rips apart my heart.
