Leon stared up at the twinkling stars. The cool night breeze ruffling his hair and clothes but he paid it no mind.

He knew everyone was worried about him. All he seemed to do these days was research, barely eating or sleeping, to try and find any possible way to get Riku out of Kingdom Hearts. But it wasn't just him by any means, the King was searching the vast libraries of his castle and Sora was searching the worlds, all the while fighting the remaining nobodies and any lingering heartless that managed to slip past Riku.

Leon briefly wondered if the King felt guilty for allowing Riku to talk him out of going with him into Kingdom Hearts, before dismissing it. The Worlds need him out here.

Leon felt a bitter half-smile rise. What about the people who needed Riku? He himself was going crazy and he knew Sora was in pain, having lost Riku again. But at least Sora had Kairi to attempt to take the sting off.

Now he remembered why he tried to keep his distance from people.

So here he was again, night after night, watching the sky, and praying that the next star to go out wouldn't be Riku's.
