That was probably one of the several reasons he left the door open for her in the first place. It wasn't exactly a picnic for him, either. Then again, the last six months had been like that for him. Watching so much happen from the shadows again, seeing his master reduced to an amnesiac... It was rather frightening and he was worried about repercussions of any of his actions. Should one thing trigger the wrong memory...

That's when he heard the knock and looked up--away from the small object in his hands that he quickly placed back in the drawer before nodding.

It really sucked to know now that it wasn't just memories from this place that were in a fog--that he could relate to his master even more. Yet what was worse was that it also hurt someone in the process. Someone who reminded him of so many others, yet one person at the same time. It's strange. Seeing a younger, black-haired Kairi one moment and Sora the next if he blinked. ...At least he spared a faint smirk in return?

"Take a seat." Anywhere, really- it doesn't matter to him, judging by him motioning around the room. "...What is it?"

It definitely wasn't, and yet... it still beat a few places he could name that were even worse. He found out much about the past here, about what happened to their predecessors, and gained a better grasp on what would soon come to their worlds. Even if he doesn't remember when he returned, at least his heart would. ...Too bad he still sucks at listening to it, though.

He kept an eye on her, rather concerned since he knew that look too well. It was the same one Sora always wore when he was trying to keep a smile on his face even when everything was falling apart. Just how hard had her arrival been on her?

Riku shifted in his seat, to face her better. ...He was?

"No, I hadn't." That was odd, and yet- "But then, how many others did you really interact with back home?"

Curiosity would always be something he'd be guilty of- ...was that a hand on his shoulder. And- what? Seriously, where had all this come from? Yet he nodded instead, because it did sound like him. The first part, anyway. If it had been not long after he saw his own replica disappear into darkness, he wouldn't be too surprised if he had called her a sham-a fake. Impressions like that always stick.

"You can't fight fire with spa-" Where had that come from? Ugh... Maybe one day he'd remember instead of these confusing feelings of nostalgia.

He shook his head, looking her straight in the eye. "...It doesn't matter how you were created. Can't say I remember much, if at all, but 'sham' or not, you're real to someone."

Someone had taught him that.

"That's usually the case." Riku spared her an understanding look, thinking back on many things he'd seen. It... wasn't just the islands he had missed. It was the people there that had made it 'home'. Not that he wouldn't say the world itself had sentimental value to him--something he'd forgotten along the way. He's probably different in ideals from Sora in that manner because he'd always wanted to see what was 'out there' and leave the nest, so to speak. "Though, I think you know what I mean."

He chuckled under his breath, trying not to let much show through. That was definitely something he had forgotten. "Guess they didn't allow you to speak to many, huh."

It was something that he'd definitely learned by then, at least. Maybe a part of it was due to his own Replica, maybe it had to do with his struggles somewhere along the way, or maybe it was a hint from a new friend of just what they all had gone through. Or it could be a combination. Like many of the other things in their worlds. And yet, that moment of pause and trailing off... He couldn't help but recall his first meeting fake... meeting Ila. Just that four-letter word was enough of a hint to make him inwardly wince. So most of the Organization had been like he was to Ila at first, and no doubt the members there had treated him similarly or worse...

"No, I couldn't." At least that is what he'd like to believe. In his mind that would have made him even worse than Ansem, taking away a chance for free will. Yet wasn't that what he'd done to Roxas? He wouldn't voice it, but letting the darkness and those a certain Heartless in due to his desperation had been his choice, as misguided as it had been...

It gave him a taste or several of being a helpless puppet, and that was something he wouldn't wish on anyone--no matter the differences in circumstance. Also, the bewilderment and softened gaze were really, really weird to him. Almost like a mirror of memories... wait.

"Sometimes I wonder..." He shook his head, vaguely teasing her. That desire for strength, to keep everyone safe... It sure brought him back a decade. "There was another I met who was much like you. The last I saw him back in our worlds, he wanted to be his own person but couldn't because of what he was 'born' as--at least in his mind--and because of it, he tried to beat the person he was a 'shadow' of...

"Know what happened?"
