Very interesting piece here. I really like the perspective--obviously one that's not usually used--and your insights about Sora. Plain and unremarkable. Words that we hardly use to describe Sora in fandom, and yet, before he received the Keyblade, very apt. Really interesting.

And haha, I'm not really sure how my piece inspired you, but hey, I'm glad it did! ♥

n_n Thank you!

Kairi's line: "Just focus on tomorrow, okay? It'll be a big day." The gears in my head started clicking. Very fast. =3 So thanks. But maybe I should have said something ealier? I'm sorry. ;_;

The 'plain and unremarkable' thing was more due to the contrast with Riku, who seems to best Sora at everything. (Or at least, when I played KH, it seemed like it...)

*jawdrop* This is SO AWESOME. Gaaahhhhh. *flail*

The whole Riku-was-supposed-to-be-the-hero thing is a really neat part of the KH story, but no one really writes about it. It's so cool how you did, and how you made it all make sense with the islands and Riku's family and stuff, and how it all reads like some kind of fable -- or like it's being told by some non-human entity, which of course it is.

And it just sounds so pretty, too. The last line especially. Gave me chills.

LOVE. ♥
