[To be honest it would probably help if Terra actually said those things out loud – maybe not now, but at some point… because that's just thing; Riku doesn't understand. He doesn't know what Terra wants with him, a failure by any account as far as anything concerned wielding the Keyblade goes, he doesn't know why Terra passed it down to him in first place, especially when history has shown that the more worthy choice was an the very same island.
But well… that may be a conversation for another day, if it ever happens.
For now Riku keeps his head right where it is, a hitched sound that's right between a laugh and sob escaping him at that answer.]
Not sure, if there's anything to help here. You are no more capable of stopping the Storm than I am.
[And isn't that the bitter truth… they've both been here for months now and they aren't any closer to stopping the Storm and restoring the lost worlds than they were when they got here... and maybe that would be fine, if there weren't people lost, if there weren't so many lives that the Storm had taken, that it keeps taking…
It takes a moment until Riku manages to say anything more.]
I thought… when I got here, I thought, it would be fine. That it's essentially the same as when the Worlds fell… there'd be some kind of door to close, a way to banish the Storm and the Darkness. And I was so glad that I found Sora and Kairi sleeping here… I never considered what else being here meant.
[His hands clench again, because honestly that he's in this situation now is only on him. He should have thought it through sooner, but well. Ignorance is bliss indeed.]
