Bitter Silence
Xion usually manages to give the impression that her imminent fate doesn't faze her.
The facade breaks every now and then, and when it does Riku never knows what he should do for her.
More often than not, he answers her questions with bitter silence—he wants to give her the answers she seeks, but he can't tell her what he doesn't know.
It bothers him, how little he is certain of these days.
So instead of giving her false comforts, Riku supports her in the only way he can—he helps her keep her feet planted on the ground.
For now.
Author: Because Riku refuses to lie to her and tell her "it'll be okay," when he knows that it probably won't be. He's not that kind of guy. He just offers her support by being there for her when she needs someone.
Thanks to XIIIXV for the review! I get bad headaches sometimes, too. They are NOT fun... I can't imagine how much it would hurt to have parts of your memory deleted right out of your head... *shudders* Yeah, don't want to think of that.
See you next time!
