About KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 DAYS
Story
-Twilight Town-
Roxas and Axel were watching the sunset from their usual spot on the station’s clock tower after a long day of collecting “hearts” from the Heartless, as ordered by their organization. When their daily work ended, they often spent their evenings there. They talked about the day’s work and other things over ice cream.
“Do you know why the sun looks red as it sinks below the horizon? It’s because among the countless colours comprising light, red travels the greatest distance.”
“You’re just trying to show off, Axel!”
It was idle chatter between two boys without hearts.This is the untold story of Organization XIII’s Roxas.
