Dear Riku,

That feeling I told you about, the one that went away, the one like something bad was coming... it's back. I think that yesterday was just the calm before the storm, in a sense.

Oh god, Riku, everything's a mess, everything is awful and I have no idea what I should do.

I ran into a Heartless on the way to your island. I swear that it's true and there was a Heartless, it wasn't just my imagination. I killed it, of course, but summoning the Keyblades... it hurt. It hurt like they were being ripped out of me. Hurt like I thought I was dying. It hurt like nothing I've felt before. It's never happened before, they've always been so easy to summon.

But that's not the point. What was a Heartless doing here of all places? Here, Destiny Islands. And if there was one, there must be others. I remember learning that the hard way. They travel in packs, because I think that even they understand on some level that there is strength in numbers.

Oh god, Riku, I think that this is what that bad feeling I've been having was about. Except it's still there.

I think that it's only going to get worse from now on.

I think it's already worse than it was before.

You always told me to trust my instincts, that for all my lack of common sense I had the best instincts, and I always have, like you told me to. I always took everything you told me to heart. But this time...I don't want to. This time...I think I'm scared they'll be right and something really bad will happen.

Oh god, Riku, everything's a mess. Everything's a mess and I don't know what to do anymore. I can't tell Kairi. I couldn't be able to stand the way I know her face would look when I told her there were Heartless here, on Destiny Islands.

How did they get here and why? Why now? I have too many questions and not nearly enough answers.

Riku, I need you right now, where are you?

I miss you.

Love,

Sora
