Ninth ★ [Video]

[Once again the feed is a bit shaky once it begins, but soon it evens out to show moving trees before it's finally set down on some smooth surface--a rock?]

Sora went home. [The matter of fact tone can't hide the sadness in his voice. Yet another one of his friends, gone. While he's relieved to know for a fact that his best friend does indeed wake up from his nearly a year long slumber, he can't quite shake the wish to be there with him, able to talk to him and Kairi... to see them with his own eyes. To be at peace again and regain what was lost...

Guess it's just a distant dream for now.] Just thought you should know, if you didn't take a look at the residency list.

[The feed ends without even showing his face, but he'll be walking around the park and middle district like a zombie, maybe even practicing a few swings and allowing a few dark spells to be used. The question remains the same: Dare you approach?]

Yeah...

[He sighs.]

I'm fine.

...Dude, y'know I'm not gonna buy that. You saw how messed up I was when the old man disappeared... You and Sora were best pals too, right?

... [Okay, deep breaths Riku. Remember the anger management- Demyx is a friend.]

Yeah. We are. [Were? He seemed to be forgiving of what he'd done before... for trusting the dark whispers instead of their friendship. Succumbing to it, letting Ansem take over... Or at least... didn't even mention it aside from the comment about his attire. Thanks to that, he wasn't about to think that they weren't.]

Maybe he'll be back someday. I mean... If Xigbar can come back, Sora can too.

_{[He pauses, reaching off-screen to grab Xigbar's scarf.]} See this? M'keeping this 'til I see him again. I'm not just gonna push everything to the back of my mind cuz he's gone--I tried doing that and I broke down crying in the street when Lea confronted me 'bout it.

Maybe...

[When Demyx holds up the scarf, however, Riku has to lift the blindfold a bit so he can see it clearly. ...Wow, is that dorky, but he gets it.]

It never does work, only puts off the inevitable. [He learned that lesson the hard way in a different manner.] ...I'm just not sure what to feel right now.
