Thanks to...
Mirae-no-Sekai for reviewing (LOL, that's alright, that's my fault. That drabble went back to the Riku vs. Maleficent plotline; that's the moment when Xion finally owns up and tells Roxas that she's cursed... Roxas really didn't take it well. I like the way you said that—"double-edged." Hadn't seen that, but that's perfect right there, LOL. Poor Xion indeed—her best friend and her boyfriend hate each other, and now she's gonna die, and they hate each other even more... It never ends! LOL, I'm sorry!... sort of... XD), and
Knight-Dawn for reviewing! (Yeah, no, it's not my favorite, either. :P Glad you like! LOL, oh, yeah, gotta love it. It's all Roxas's fault! (Seriously, though, if he wasn't so overprotective, I wouldn't have fodder... XD) The other scenario was actually the "Blood" scenario—if both that scenario and the "Riku vs. Maleficent" scenario occurred, they'd be within a few months of each other, which is going a bit overboard on the drama (and painful stuff) even for me. -_- What I'm thinking of doing is including "Blood" but rendering it kinda AU by putting it a few months after MX is defeated... (Enjoy the popcorn for me! I'm still on a forced hiatus...) LOL, "sad faces..." Agreed. ^_^)
Set at the very end of 358/2 Days. Nothing much to say today. ^_^
He knows where Roxas will be.
Had Sora been in his place—had Riku himself been in his place—he would have gone back.
Sora would have searched for an answer, a miracle. Riku would have searched for revenge.
Riku wants to search for revenge even now—but it never was his place, and it never will be. It was Roxas's place.
Roxas will go back and search for both.
And so Riku waits at Memory's Skyscraper, biding his time and watching, his memories of Xion bleeding into monochrome and—whether he admits it or not—his heart following suit.
