Okay I normally don& #39;t openly express my opinion on different intepretations/opinions about Lea/Axel and Isa/Saix, but this has me on my limit (thread).
Yes Saix was clingy and based his very existence on Axel, something he HIMSELF admits on official material. And while this is and indication of how much Axel meant to him, it is not healthy. And guess what? He now realises it. He& #39;s learnt to open his heart and make other friends.
All of this is featured on his short story on the official character files KH guidebook: https://twitter.com/CodedbyDays/status/1230707369908170752?s=20">https://twitter.com/CodedbyDa...
And now. EXCUSE ME? "Goes postal on the rest of the universe"? " "apocalyptic onslaught of complete innocents" ? Are we talking about the same character?

bitterness over Axel abandoning him on them. It wasn& #39;t right. But Axel was far from a perfect friend to them too. He selfishly hid the truth about their identity/origins and in cases manipulated them. But for both, I personally choose to look from their pov and what reasons..
led them to their actions. For Axel, it was fear of abandonment and losing the only people that brought joy and light back to his life. For Saix, it was a growing obsession for their goal and adherence to Xemnas& #39; beliefs about what a Nobody should and shouldn& #39;t do that in the...
process he distanced himself from Axel which lead to bafflement and confusion as to why Axel left, why he didn& #39;t honour their bond as humans (which Axel should& #39;ve definitely made the effort to keep). That& #39;s what caused their fallout. This is why Saix lost it by losing little by..
little the only person that mattered to him. He turned that jealousy into hatred in many cases. He had Sora beg for someone he cared so much about only to deny his pleadings most likely because he must have similarly faced the same with Lea/Axel. Someone he had...
completely lot by then. So this possibly was him trying to make others feel the pain that he felt. And it was wrong. Just as Axel lying to and kidnapping Kairi was wrong just so HE could bring someone he cared about back. And here& #39;s the kicker: They both realised their mistakes.
Axel apologised numerous times to Sora and Lea to Kairi. When Saix got a second chance at life, he saw that projecting his bitterness to Roxas and Xion and consequently inflicting so much pain to Axel was wrong. He was wrong that Nobodies couldn& #39;t form true bonds.
His jealousy and stubbornness didn& #39;t make him see that. So he spends the entirety of KH3 to bring those very people who mistreated back and by doing so give Lea the two most important people in his life (from Isa& #39;s pov) back. Risking his own life while at it.
He didn& #39;t care if he faded into oblivion as long as knowing that Lea would be happy now. Because he LOVES him. Lea was set on finding and bringing Isa back the moment he woke up and rushed to his aid and held him in his arms on his final moments. Because he LOVES him.
Lea and Isa& #39;s, Axel and Saix& #39;s story, is about struggle, pain and hurt, but also forgiveness and devotion. It& #39;s about them realising that, no matter what befell them, they never forgot about each other. And that& #39;s what led them back to one another.
So yes, that does make for a damn good story arc and romantic interpretation op.
(For context, op& #39;s message was a response to a harmless joke poll that Lea and Isa are a good romantic pairing of the series)
