[It's later in the day that Kairi leaves the castle to seek out Riku. She'd been sleeping when he left, and then had hollowly gone about cleaning things to pass time. If Riku needed to be alone, then he needed it. But finally, that gnawing emptiness had all but devoured her whole and she'd had to go find him. And when she finally finds him, she goes to be quietly by his side--not touching, unless he initiates it, but close.]

[He is sitting at the beach when she finds him - knees hugged to his chest, hood half drawn over his head - the familiar sound of waves and seagulls sooths away some of the emptiness in his chest, but also almost worsens the pain, because he can't help thinking of easier, happier times, when it had been just the three of the, the sand, the sun and the sea.

Riku shifts a little when he notices her, perhaps not reaching out himself, but certainly holding himself open in invitation.]
