[Sora's been waiting patiently in Riku's room for his friend to return. But... It had been awhile, and there'd been no sight of him. He'd been missing for awhile now, and Sora's worried. Had he been sent home? Sora hopes not... So that's why the boy looks tired and worried when he finally comes over the Seal.]...Has anyone seen Riku? I'm really

It would seem we have lost many members of our house. [He looks sad for a minute, you're not the only one missing friends now Sora. Then Kaldur looks up] I shall keep an eye out for him and let you know if I find him.

Thanks. I'm gonna look for him, too.

[And he's not gonna give up until he finds Riku.]

Just be careful. Things have been strange around here as of late and I imagine Riku would worry if something happened to you.

Hello, Sora. [It only took her forever to work up the courage to actually talk to him...]

I'm a friend of Riku's but I'm afraid...I haven't seen him lately.

[tiny_promise]

...He didn't go home, did he?

[...He can't have gone home. He promised.]

[seasalt_sunset]

I'm....not sure, to be honest.

But...If you just keep hoping, I know you'll see him again, see him soon.

Riku....? No....but, you're okay? Kairi is still here, right? I can come visit if you'd like, but I just want to make sure you're not out looking for him alone or something, Sora.

I'm still at the villa right now. I'm not gonna go out looking unless it's daylight.

[...And he's going to be careful.]

...I'd like for you to visit.

Sure I can come visit. And it's a good idea to stay inside when it's late and dark. I'll be over soon, okay?

Another Comment That Never Was

[Somewhere in Splendor, Ansem is laughing when he receives that transmission, when he feels Riku's despair upon hearing it.

His host's heart is struggling of course, has been ever since returning to his body, but it's weak and futile - whatever had happened to it after being ripped away, had left it wounded.

It tries to fight of course, especially when hearing the sadness in Sora's voice, but ultimately it lacks the strength to even attempt to grasp for control.

Perhaps he should be thankful to the little brat, because now Ansem can be sure.

Riku will not be an interfering factor in his plans.]
