[The subject of Riku and what he'd done isn't something Roxas wants to talk about with a stranger. It's not even something he wants to talk about with Sora or Axel, for very different reasons. Not until he figures out how he really feels about it.
The worst thing that ever happened to him had been done for the best reason, and if he can't imagine ever making that specific choice, if he considers how far he'd go for his friends, it's not as unfathomable. And he knows Riku now, not completely but enough, through pieces of someone else's memory and visions of a lifetime of friendship that had come rushing through him, back to Sora.
It would be a lot easier if he could hate Riku. Or if he even wanted to.
There's a few seconds of silence, and he's half-braced for further questions, and then grateful when they don't come. Not the ones he's expecting.]
Whoa!
[Roxas knows the telltale shimmers of magic that immediately precede the summoning of the Keyblade, but he's still surprised a half-second later when it actually appears. He moves forward again, eyes alert and focused on this weapon that's so different from his own.]
I knew it—you're from the same worlds as us, aren't you? But I never heard of anyone who could use the Keyblade besides me and Sora...and Riku later, I guess.
