So crazy idea what if Roxas became part of the reaper game for his right to exist? Joshua places him in the game because he knows Roxas because he met Sora in the past (DDD) and Roxas needs to complete the week to exist again.
i actually had an idea like this where Roxas ended up in the Reaper’s Game as Sora’s game partner (since you can’t really survive in the game without making a pact and all, and who else could Sora trust more than Roxas?)
i didn’t consider what Roxas would’ve lost, since i’m not really sure what he would consider most important to himself. but his own self-identity is arguably what he’s fought for the hardest. so having that stripped away would definitely leave him pissed off.
but that then begs the question: how does that manifest as a toll for his entry into the game? i was thinking about it to myself, and i came to the situation of everyone would probably forget Roxas existed.
my reasoning being: Xion. she was someone that had her entire existence hinged on something fragile, like memories poorly stacked together. once those memories were tugged apart and she faded from existence, her memories unraveled from everyone else’s and everyone forgot she existed. she was truly the pinnacle of ceasing to exist.
and what else is a person’s existence except how other people perceive them? if i remember correctly, that was a point that Joshua was trying to make in DDD. that everyone in the Reaper’s Game doesn’t exist until someone else sees them. 
so if Roxas lost his existence, then that means other people can’t know who he is. he’d be a stranger in the Game, and if Sora were there and the two had to make a pact, Sora would have no idea who Roxas is. which could be all the more heartbreaking if Roxas remembers everything and no one else does.
