[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.]

Thought it was worth a shot, and that maybe it'd make things easier somehow.

What, like someone here knows the answer?

[written]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Even if you ignore what's going on, the fact that one of them will end up as good as dead is what really matters.

It's one or the other-- and you can't honestly expect this to be an easy choice.

I know that. What I'm saying is it's not your choice anyway.

[written]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Not like it's yours either.

[written]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

No, but at least I understand that.

Look, I get that it's her choice. If that's what she wants, then fine. I just--

Nevermind. You wouldn't understand.

Try me.

Why waste my breath? You don't know what it's like between me and Xion.

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

What's that got to do with it?

[written]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

It's got everything to do with it.

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

Then if it's so important, tell me.

Sora's my best friend. Always has been. I can't stand what's happening to him.

But Xion... she's not just a friend anymore. That's what makes things even worse.

Like I said, though, you wouldn't understand.

[ Okay, that really hurts. Not going to admit it, but that really hurts. ]

It's still Xion's decision. [ and fine maybe Sora's too ]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

I know.

Guess that means I'll have to help her when the time comes.
