[Well, there's no point in dodging this now. Especially after that entry Ling made. Despite his reservations, Riku opens the journal and begins with a short, sweet message.]

Kairi's gone.

[There's a drawn out pause. After all, Kairi'd been there since he first showed up in Luceti, and she'd always been with him and Sora before. And Sora hasn't even shown himself in months. Xion moved. Besides Roxas, everyone else from their universe is off living with Ven.

Sigh.]

It's kind of crazy. People come and go all the time, but Kairi was here longer than me. At least three years. Just goes to show how unpredictable this place is. Some people leave in a week. Others years. Some people come back again and again. It's like a constant guessing game.

[...Man, maybe he's thinking too hard on it. Either way, he needs a distraction. Badly. Much as Kairi's departure's upset him, he doesn't wanna make it too obvious. What good would that do?]

But enough about that. No point in crying over spilled milk, right? At least she's not wrapped up in the experiments. That last one was bad enough, and don't even get me started on that 'Count' guy. If he ever met Mickey, I bet he'd rethink his insults a little.

It depends on which one. The one that happened around Valentine's Day is pretty horrible for people who already have a significant other.

[stilldontgotit]

That one's usually obnoxious, but this year it kind of paid off.

[Because it pushed him and Ino together, so... he can't really complain.]

[repudiate]

[ well, Ange was paired up with her own boyfriend, so she can't exactly complain, but.. it did lead to some embarassing things. ]

Paid off..? It went well for you?

[stilldontgotit]

Yeah. Wound up with someone I care about. It was just the push we needed.

[And this time, he doesn't have to worry about the drama that followed his first relationship.]

[repudiate]

Apparently they can do some things right then. At least I did end up just falling in love even more with my boyfriend during the whole thing, so it wasn't too terrible for me. But it's still stupid they force people into stuff like this.

[stilldontgotit]

That's the Malnosso for you. Stupid and obnoxious. It's like they're intentionally irritating.

[repudiate]

In that case, they would definitely be like some people I've known back home.

[stilldontgotit]

I think we all know at least one person like that. There's just no escaping them.

[repudiate]

It's true that there really are a lot of people like that out in the world, huh? Or actually, no matter which world.. people will always be the same.

[stilldontgotit]

Yeah, but there are some exceptions. Even if there are a handful of bad eggs, people are pretty complex.
