Not just diverged, but grew up, I think? At any rate, the divergence is what makes it easy for Dave to look at Davesprite as a separate person. Mine, at least, has a very layered way that which he looks upon doomed timelines. In his dream, Naminé had pointed out that he thinks about them a lot -- ironic considering he didn't talk to her about doomed timelines until after the dream event -- and I do headcanon that he did a lot as the years went by. It's occurred to him that he doesn't have the same memories as the dead Daves, and that further drives home that they're separate people? At least, that's the simplified nutshell version of it, it's a little more complex than that.
Oh god, that surprised me so much. At first I thought he'd just sit back and watch it unfold until things got too hairy, then he'd mosey on in there and break it up like some kind of ref, but then I actually started typing and what I ended up typing was not what I had planned. I hesitate to say he was angry, really, but he was definitely bristly because... stupidly protective.
(And sentimental. Shhh.)
And yes. Yes, yes, yes on the Rose front. God, he misses Rose so much.
..... I like this headcanon. I like this headcanon a lot. I originally thought 8 months and 12 days, but for some reason I like the 10 months and 25 days better.

Also agreed. Agreed so hard.
