Sora finally reached Riku's house after what seemed like an eternity of running. He pounded on the door yelling, "Mura! Mura!" ((yes, Riku's mom has a name! 00))
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Mura yelled through the door. She opened it, seeing Sora standing there, tired and panicking. "Sora, what's wrong?" she asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Kurisu fell on the bridge during a race! She's badly hurt! Riku's taking her here now." He replied, almost in a pant.
Mura nodded, "Come in. I'll take care of her."
Sora nodded and walked in, plopping himself on the blue couch. Mura looked in the distance, searching for her son. After a few seconds of looking, she spotted him. He ran as quickly as he could and into the house.
"Place her on your bed, Riku." Mura commanded as she got her medical supplies.
Riku ran to his room and placed her gently on his bed. He ran his fingers through her hair, some blood dripping onto his hand. "Kuri-chan," he whispered, "don't die on me."
Mura and Sora came into the room soon after. Mura seemed to shove Riku out of the way and then examined Kurisu's wound. "This isn't good." She muttered. She then began to clean the wound, and dressed it. After she was finished, she stood up and turned to the two boys. She had a sad look on her face which Riku knew meant that something wasn't right.
"Is she gonna be alright, mom?" he asked, tears flooding his eyes.
Mura nodded, "She'll be fine."
Riku was pleased to hear this.
"But, she took a really bad blow to the head. She won't remember anything about herself or anything about you. She won't even remember living here." She stated. "I'm sorry, boys."
Riku's heart sank at the thought of her not remembering him. His tears began to stream down his cheeks as he watched his mother leave the room. He leant against the wall and sank down to the floor. Sora put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him, "It'll be alright, Riku. She'll never forget you, she never will."
Riku just hid his face in his knees, crying his heart out. No matter what Sora said, he knew it wouldn't make a difference. Kurisu would forget him, and probably would never remember. He felt it was punishment for not keeping his promise to her. He promised to keep her safe, and he failed.
