[Ignorance, claimed or real, is just the easier path but never a true answer – Riku has learned that since leaving the Islands. He likes it better to know the truth himself, even if it's painful to know it.
Calculations and plans made, it's really almost more Naminé's judgment than Riku's, but well… since Riku was its executor, he will gladly take the blame. He can't say what was kinder; the ignorance that they had forced onto Roxas or letting him know the truth like he had with Xion… both options had their own kind of cruelty to them, but Riku knows that they had been short on time... which is probably part of why DiZ had designed that particular cage.
Roxas now seems to know more, seems to be somewhat at peace with the important parts of it.
Riku just tilts his head at that last accusation though, thinking back to the memory of the Islands, to the disappearing forms of Wakka and Selphie and Tidus, to Kairi fading away without even saying a word, to Zexion's cold hard truths (or his versions of it anyway)…
He is more familiar with what Roxas is describing than the other thinks, but there is no point in telling him that now.

So, instead he switches topics.]
What are you planing to do now?
