I DON'T OWN KINGDOM HEARTS
Final act: The Goodbye
Sora POV
I am so devastated, I couldn't do anything to save my best friend, he died in insanity, he died by his crushed hopes (and dreams) and by my hand. I wish I could say I was sorry but he wasn't there to forgive me, he wasn't there to cheer me up and say 'he doesn't want to be found', because he lost to his darkness in three years and I didn't noticed and I didn't help him either.
It's so hard to move on with a deep void in my heart where Riku's warmth should be, but I guess I will have to survive with his memory and with the pain of losing a very dear friend, a very dear brother.
The day went by like a blur, I knew I had to move on but that can wait until tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or the day after that or when my heart stops feeling such pain and sorrow for my best (dead) friend.

Kairi POV
I saw Sora break down in front of everyone, the hero crying like a child that just lost his parents, and I was too slowly losing my cool when I saw riku so pale and so lifeless I couldn't help the burning sensation in my eyes, nor the the wetness in my cheeks, nor the sobs that escaped my lips I soon joined Sora looking for the wise and calculating eyes of riku, waiting for him to come out of nowhere saying "surprise, you fell for my prank" and then consolating us for making us cry. After a while I knew he wasn't coming and that this wasn't a prank and that this was really a goodbye. I guess I will have to survive with memories of him and with the pain of losing a very dear friend, a very dear brother.
The day went by like a blur and I didn't want to be anywhere with anyone, maybe someday I'll meet Riku again in the afterlife with Sora, and everything could be like the old times, like the good times before the journey, before the heartless and before the fight between light and darkness, between Sora and Riku.

Normal POV
Riku never said goodbye, Riku lost his heart and mind –Was he crazy?- at one point he was, and that was the death of him, his eyes couldn't lie but lying was his downfall –what lies?- he said, he thought he was okay, refused to look for help, pretty little lies formed in pretty little Riku's head because you see he didn't lie, it was the darkness that made lies for him to believe, he was 20 years old with two desperate friends by his side trying to help him and corrupted evil darkness that consumed him in the end of the final act.
Everyone was there at the funeral, at least everyone that still held, Riku close to their hearts.
Sora and Kairi couldn't even form a sentence without crying if only he could see how precious he was for his two pretty little friends. It is always tragic when a person loses someone so important, -but then a cycle starts anew-. It will happen all over again.
