Riku's bent over in wallowing pain. What he saw was too real, too true to be an ilusion.

Namine had an idea of using a mythical item in which people looked at their refection, but instead of their reflections, they saw the shape of their souls and all the things surrounding it.

She thought it might help him with his 'darkness' problem. She didn't know how wrong she could possibly be.

She had broken him beyond repair. He might not be the same Riku ever again.

I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my souls on the other side.
Oh the little pieces falling, shatter.
Shards of me,
To sharp to put back together.
To small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.

Riku saw himself, prideful and brave, staring at the horizon. His green eyes shone with bliss and peace.

In a flash, his eyes became golden, just as the fabled Keyblade Wielder Terra's. The real Riku became trapped in a reflection. Anywhere the impostor would see his reflection, Riku was there, shedding tears without end.

The impostor killed everyone dear to the boy. Kairi and Sora died in each other's arms, after telling 'Riku' that they forgave him. The real Riku could only see so much, too much for him.

Then, 'Riku' held King Mickey in his hands, choking him by brute strength. His Majesty's last words rang in the real Riku's head.

Stop Riku, please! T-This isn't you...!

And then Namine. Her body was bruised and cut, her face full of horror and fear. 'Riku' took his time with her, hurting her in every way possible. She faded with a horrifying wail, shouting Riku's name one last time.

Riku screamed and threw the water away. He destroyed the vase again and again, even though there wasn't anything left.

Namine soothed him as best as she could. It hurt her to see him like this, but what could she do? She didn't know what he saw.

She just sat there, praying to someone, anyone, that could help him.

If I try to touch her,
And I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no more.

"Riku?" Namine asked as she streched her hand out to reach him.

Riku stared at her fragile hand. He wanted nothing more than to embrace her, hold her...

But what if he hurt her like the other Riku?

Just the thought constricted his throat, and he backed away from her.

"Stay away."

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.
Lie to me,
Convince me that I've been sick forever.
And all of this,
Will make sense when I get better.
I know the difference,
Between myself and my reflection.
I just can't help but to wonder,
Which of us do you love.

"Riku..."

"I don't want to hurt you, Namine. I-I don't want to stain you." He stared at his own hands in fear.

Namine used that as an opportunity and jumped on him. She kissed his face, his hands, his hair. Then her eyes locked with his.

"I care for you, Riku. Darkness and all."

Riku embaraced her with such force that it left her dizzy. He murmured, "Sorry," and something she didn't understand but it made her heart swell with joy. (At least, that's what she felt.)

"I love you, Namine. Thank you for staying with me."

The feeling felt so real, it choked her.

But...

It choked her in a good way.

I know it's dark. Don't judge me.
