❝ nobody wins in war. ❞ ( also one from young Luxu bc I want to continue that au! )
War in its very being was insatiable. Sacrifice, the pillaging of self and morality, the acceptance that plunging the very life out of those known.. and in a potential case like theirs, friends turned into foes from some cursed fate was a sore awareness for Sora.
Luxu's pure displeasure worked into a more solemn note tells him so much that he needs to hear. It makes his heart ache with frustration that the possibility of the Keyblade War could also hold as a reality upon these lands. A place where so many souls were scrambling to learn and know who they were, and in other ways, completely disconnected from the resolve that allowed their strengths to burn to such scintillating heights.
Just thinking about what he's endured alongside his beloved friends makes his heart twist. Being torn Heart from body, being threatened with destruction that grinds to dust even your very concepts, the sort of oblivion that comes as the price in harnessing the form of strength that can potentially unmake all.
Calamity.
"..From the beginning, something like that has never been made with the good thought of others at the helm. I've only seen it rarely, rarely done like that."
Could it be naivety that centers as a cause to those thoughts? Sora in truth wouldn't be surprised. His means of going against the grain was never turning his battles into wars, to never let the concept of conquering be a part to feel him with any semblance of determination. No, that would be poison that he refuses to drink. On those days where he contently dove and ventured within the high seas, more of his perception was carefully carved. These were bittersweet, nostalgic reflections as they stared off into the oceans surrounding Daybreak Town.
"Listening to sides when you never fully know the truth, being forced under the reach of another without having your heart fully and rightfully applied, all I can see that breeding is confusion that threatens to shatter it.. The kind of terror that loves to resonate with the worst out there.
Even now, that certainly didn't mean gloom has truly eclipsed the hope he carries. Gradually his fingers ride the tension, knitting themselves into fist that comfortably hum with strength. "That's why, I can't help but think that heroes are one of the most important forces out there. People who find to shatter anything that threatens to unravel life, and knows the importance that.. At the end of the day, helping another when they stumble is one of the most important things you can do out there."
"And that is what I intend to be. The kind of something I wish was always there when folks needed it most. ..To let them find their strength to continue such a thing."
