[It was a sentiment Kor could sympathize with, even though he was well aware that the relationship he has with Sora is very different from what Squall has with Sora. But the fact remains that Sora was important to both of them; they both had strong bonds with him.]
What does Sora mean to you?
[It was a simple question, yet the answers could be exceedingly complex.]
You don't have to tell me your answer. But bonds are a two-way connection. Unless you both feel the same way, it's not something that happens. So with the way you feel about Sora, [with the way Sora feels about you] do you really think his heart would forget that?
[ Squall falls silent as he listens to Kor talk. It was strange, Kor came to Squall trying to find out some answers and perhaps to ease his own worry, but Squall's the one getting comforted in the end. Of course there was going to still be some doubts in his mind. Squall just never had an easy time letting himself be happy, but he still seemed a lot lighter now.
Like a weight or two he was carrying was now being shared instead of being all on him.
Kor was right. Sora once told him before just how much he believed he'd find Squall if they ever parted from this world. Sora believed that from the bottom of his heart. If he could believe something like that so passionately, then this... wouldn't be different. Sora wouldn't forget him or anyone else he made a lasting connection with here.
[It wasn't the first time Kor heard that about him and Sora being alike. And it definitely wouldn't be the last. At first, it used to embarrass him. But now he's learned to just own it.]
[Thankfully for Squall, Kor catches onto the teasing. Or just doesn't catch onto anything besides the intended teasing, maybe?? It's tough to say. Either way, he laughs. He knows how Sora is, he's a social butterfly.]
Haha, I don't think there's any arguing that. He'll make a friend out of anybody.
[...Funny, Kor came to Squall wanting to get some answers, and instead he got some relief out of being able to help somebody else out. Not that he really feels any better about what's going to happen to Sora. But he's just got to believe that Sora will pull through, just like he's telling Squall.]
[ Squall falls silent for a moment, like he was trying to think how to phrase his thoughts to Kor when he finally speaks up again. His tone was softer, but there was less force on his tone. ]
Kor? Thank you... This isn't going to be an easy time for any of us, but I feel like maybe I can concentrate a little better now.
I'm glad I could help you feel better, [And without a Spiria Link involved!] but... you don't need to thank me here.
[Might as well just... admit to his intentions here.]
It's not like I contacted you wanting to help you feel better. I was just worried about my friend. If anything... I was just trying to make myself feel better.
It might not have been your intention, but it's still something nice that came from it.
[ Squall didn't think Kor came for him specifically. They barely even knew each other, and probably only knew of each other through Sora in the first place, but still.. ]
So if your mind was able to calm down a little along with mine, I don't see anything wrong with it.
[Kor could try, but honestly, he knew he couldn't argue against what Squall was saying there. Because he was right.}
I was able to rethink things a little by talking to you, so thanks for listening. And if talking to you helped you rethink things a little, then... [...] You're welcome! I guess it's just in my nature to help people in need, even if I don't know they're in need? Heheh.

That's what it means to believe.

Squall let out a soft sigh. ]
You know... you sound a lot like him.

Why do you think we get along so well?
[Sora's his brother from another mother.]
no subject
[ He meant for that to come off more teasing than it might have. ]
I do see why you two are so close though...
