[There are a few drops of ink on the page, followed by something scratched out beyond legibility. A few moments later, Riku writes something below:]

If you had to choose between a friend dying or having to destroy the person who's causing it, even if they're just as important... which would you choose? It's not like death here's permanent, but I don't think that changes much.

[There's another pause, followed by a soft sigh. After that, nothing.]

So what if there was no other way?

There has to be another way.

... "courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality." That's what someone told me once.

Courage. Maybe you're right...

[Heh.]

But some things can't be changed. Even courage and dreams can't fix everything.

But... you can at least try, right?

Yeah, and I've been trying.

Hasn't changed a thing.

Nothing at all?

If there is, we'd probably know by now.

And either way, someone has to die.

Yeah. But better here than in some other world. At least that way they'd come back.

But if they're just going to come back, how do you know that dying is going to fix things at all? What if it doesn't work because of that?

Because if she dies, then all the memories she's been absorbing will go back to Sora.

I wish it didn't have to be that way, but by now there's nothing else we can do except wait.

The... memories? So that's what's wrong with him...

That's exactly what's wrong with him. And it'll only get worse.

And that's really the only way to fix it?

That's right. Otherwise, Sora's memories will stay inside her.

Even she knows that, but I wish there was some other way.

There are people from so many different worlds here, maybe someone will be able to find something that works-- something you might never have thought of otherwise.

I doubt it. The problem is that they are from different worlds. What works there might not work for this.

But you won't know until you try, right?

It might not be worth it. Besides, if Xion really wants to be stopped, then that's all there is to it.

So you'd kill your own friend just because they wanted to be stopped?

[Oh Emil, you are the biggest hypocrite ever.]

She's not just my friend, Emil. But if that's the only way, then I'll do whatever it takes.

There's no point wasting time looking for alternatives when they don't exist.

There could still be something else...

[He already knows that he's going to have to fight Richter when he gets back, but damned if he's going to kill him.]

Look, Emil, it's nothing personal, but wishful thinking's not going to help Sora or Xion.

I'm sorry, I was just trying to help...

It's fine. I do appreciate it, but some things aren't that simple.
