Good gods above, do a lot of Lightning's attitudes and impressions when she first dropped in remind Roxas of his own in the same situation. It's kind of eerie. The big difference is she seems to have a strong impression of herself/her own morality, even with no memories, where he didn't.

Her arrival's hit him in a lot of feelings he's kind of buried, cause he still has some resentment at the whole Aather kidnapping thing, it's just also a better option than what he's got left in canon.

That said, he likes and respects her and hopes she'll do okay in Aather and Emerald. His impression of her is tough and capable, which is an awesome thing.

Reverse?
