[back at the island. back where it all began. to think they're all back at school today as though nothing ever happened. but it did. a lot happened and, most importantly, he was the cause of it all.
with a sigh, riku flops down on the floor of the school roof. cutting class? nah, cutting lunch. who needs to eat when they're too busy brooding?
people could tell he's changed and not just because of the new haircut. the cocky brat of a kid ended up replaced by someone who... well, remained just as cocky but also avoided people more so than before and rarely lowered his guard. sora and kairi and all their friends welcomed him back with open arms but doubts about his right to remain in the light keep lingering. rightfully so, in riku's oh so humble opinion. he allowed darkness to not only swallow him, but destroy so much and harm so many people. that darkness isn't fully gone, either. it's there right alongside the light.
once positive no one's around, he lifts a hand up and summons his keyblade. it's his. it's really his but does he deserve it?
god this is so broody, i'm so sorry
