Riku in the World of Darkness / Yami no Sekai no Riku
(After Sora finds the Navi Gummi and speaks to Kairi in the underground
waterway in Traverse Town.)
Darkness. A white path winds gently through the black nothingness.
Riku
Sora... Kairi...
The path slowly turns in our view, and comes onto a horizontal plane.
Riku
I'm sorry...
We follow the path back...
Riku
Is this... the world of death?
...and find Riku, head hung and looking lost, walking along the path. He
flickers slightly as if not quite totally real. Then he stumbles and stops as
a blue light surrounds him. Clutching his chest he talks to himself.
Riku
I can't disappear yet.
The aura subsides.
Riku
Not until I've met Sora and Kairi one more time...
A voice from the darkness...
Riku, can you hear me?
Riku raises his head only fractionally, but looks about warily.
I'll be there soon.
Riku turns abruptly to see who's there.
Riku
Who's there?
But he faces only darkness.
Another Keyblade...
I've gotten the Keyblade for this side.
Riku
?
I've been talking to you all along.
But my words were hindered by the darkness covering your heart.
Riku
I don't know who you are, but... What's happened to me?
Your heart has overcome the darkness.
But you couldn't take back your body.
So only your heart was left behind
In this dark side where stolen hearts were gathered.
Riku
What should I do?
Riku turns to face the way onwards again.
The door of darkness that is soon going to appear...
That door, through which we cannot pass...
In order to close it,
Two keys and two hearts are needed.
Perhaps you too, like me, come here for that purpose.
Maybe it was fate.
Riku
Fate... You know everything, don't you?
If that's so, I want you to tell me one more thing...
Are Sora and Kairi safe?
On this last line, Riku seems concerned.
You yourself should be able to feel their hearts.
From the distance, Sora comes running through the darkness towards Riku.
How your friends reflect in you...
Is dependent on your own heart.
Sora is very close now. He is smiling.
Riku has his eyes closed. He has been imagining Sora. He opens his eyes,
seemingly much more at ease.
Riku
Thank you.
Fade to white.
