[Riku doesn't know how much time has passed since that last message from Terra came in, how long he's just been sitting here and let that one memory replay in his head again and again and again as he clutches the memory ball – he remembers now with crystal clarity how he approached Kairi's memory, how she disappeared when he got close, the despair that rose within him before Zexion had appeared behind him (Surely you knew this would happen.).
He is just torturing himself, he is aware… nothing can change what happened then, what he had done to the Islands, even if it had been fixed, nothing can changed that Riku was the one that lead to their destruction, that he sacrificed an entire world and its people to the Darkness for the taste of freedom.
Even knowing that the Storm certainly isn't his fault, he can't allow himself to forget about that mistake.
He forces his hands to relax a bit before he sets down the memory ball, but that is all that he does to acknowledge the other's presence before he finally asks.]
…What do you want?
[Please don't let this be about Santa again – Riku has no patience for that particular argument right now and he's not entirely sure if he wouldn't just end up attacking Terra, if he brought it up. Santa isn't real and the people that taught him so (his parents) are lost in the void of the Storm.]
