Riku was the oldest of his friends. He was the unofficial leader of the group; especially with Sora and Kairi. It was his idea, actually, to leave all of this behind and explore the rest of the world outside of their town and their island. He wanted to see other worlds. He didn't want to stay here, but he couldn't just leave everyone behind. Kairi and Sora were coming with him, though, he has yet to mention the idea to them. They would come. They have to. They were the three best friends anyone could find.
Something was about to change all of that, though.
