[After seeing Zexion, Namine was curious as to who else would show up. And here he was- the Replica. The one who had protected her, believing in his false memories. Her eyes went towards the ground, and she approached him slowly.]

R-Riku?

[His gut response is on the tip of his tongue, to correct whoever had called him that.] N-

[As he pauses mid-stride, he realizes who the voice belongs to.] Naminé? [He replies quietly; he can't turn to face her, not yet.]

It's me, Riku. It's me.

[It's been so long since those events in Castle Oblivion- but the memories are painfully rising to teh surface. She had broken his heart. It was her fault. She looked away, trying not to look at him.]

[A smile tugs at the corner of his mouth, then fades. Last he remembers, Naminé was sorting out Sora's memories for him. So why was she here? Unless she's not real - a hallucination after he's 'disappeared' to somewhere else sounds plausible to him.]

I honestly can't tell... if it's really you or not. You can't be in the same place I am... [He clenches his fist.] You shouldn't be in the same place I am.

colorme_in April 19 2011, 02:03:20 UTC

Yes I can, Riku. It's me.

[She bends down and takes his hands, slightly biting her lip as she tries to look into his eyes. Maybe she could make up for what she did.]

I'm real, see? And you're not dead, none of us are.

boundbynaught April 19 2011, 02:13:33 UTC

I'm not Riku - you know that better than anyone - and I...

[He tries to avoid looking at her a bit longer, but doesn't pull away.]

I disappeared - I just don't know where to, or why you're here, because you at least... you shouldn't have disappeared too.

colorme_in April 21 2011, 02:15:27 UTC

I know that! But calling you what you really are...it's not right.

[She grips his hands tighter.] None of us disappeared. We're both alive- we've just been taken to another world.

boundbynaught April 21 2011, 02:54:06 UTC

Well, I appreciate that, I guess, but... [He finally looks at her, and it's apparent he's just lost right now.] Naminé - do you know how, or even why?

[He balls his free fist] I was so certain I was going to...

colorme_in April 21 2011, 04:05:15 UTC

[A shake of the head.] No. I don't know, and neither does anyone else. We're stuck here and there'snothing we can do...

Hmm? Going to what?

boundbynaught April 21 2011, 04:32:19 UTC

[He lowers his head.] It doesn't matter for now - if you're here too, then maybe that's why I couldn't disappear back into the darkness just yet.

[The idea that he might actually have a purpose again is hard to fathom, and he can't entirely convince himself of that even now, but it's the closest thing to hope that he has.]
