I don't belong here. There was another one here, before me. I've been right all along. I didn't want to be found, and it should have remained that way. I'm... no one.

Guess I know what it feels like now to be fake. Just another clone. Is it really all that I am?

What... what was he like? The other me?[strike-through difficult to read but totally

Please don't talk like that. I agree that none of us belong here, but some of us feel like we don't belong anywhere. So it makes little difference. But you can't give up, Riku-san.

[darkshield]

There's nothing I can do, even if I wanted. I feel useless.

[baixin]

What do you mean, 'nothing?' There's always something.

I know that feeling too well.

You are not. There is always something to do here.

[darkshield]

Nothing that I'm used to.

All impostors have a place here, regardless.

It is a City of chaos.

[darkshield]

I'm not an imposter! I'm...

Doesn't matter. Whether my past's real or not, I'm the only one now. I'll make sure it remains this way.

[fingerbanging]

...You found your answer?

[endswithme]

The emo is strong in this one.

You should write that down. They'd make for some killer lyrics if you ever go indie.

[darkshield]

Write that down... Thought I just did.

[endswithme]

I thought you typed it... nevermind.

You new here?

[darkshield]

Type, write. I got it saved either way. What the hell were you talking about anyway?

Yeah. I don't get how everyone's so quick to talk to random strangers.

[seasidesky]

Between you and Roxas, I'm not going to last much longer...

You're not a clone. Riku is Riku no matter what happens, just like Sora is Sora and Kairi is Kairi. You just don't remember being here, that's all!

[darkshield]

If you believe it, that's enough for me.

What're you talking about?

[seasidesky]

Maybe you should start thinking for yourself.

Uh-- Nothing!

[darkshield]

Can't say I've had much time for that lately. I was busy doing your job.

C'mon, Sora. What's Roxas got to do with me?

[obliviomancy]

Stop whining.

[darkshield]

You're one to talk.

[obliviomancy]

I'm not the one telling the whole network that I'm fake and useless.

[darkshield]

Be glad you don't have the memories that I do.
