[The feed starts not with a face, but instead with a view from up above. It seems like someone's activated their bracelet by accident, and judging from the view it looks like the view from the very top of Heimdall's bank. A nice, beautiful aerial view of the city, showcasing some remaining snow on the roofs of some buildings.

At least it was beautiful until there was a jerk and a very loud sneeze.]

...Forgot how cold this place can get.

[Yup, that's Riku's voice, and when the video feed sweeps over to him, he looks a bit different. For starters, he's being a dumb island boy, dressed only in his vest. Checking in on the city and the damage that was still there was apparently more important than finding jacket.

And now, his hair's cut, bangs trimmed so that his eyes are now visible.]

You know, I thought this place was a dream or some vision before. Something that only happened to me. [He never mentioned it to Sora back home. Not if he wanted to be branded 'nuts' or have his friends fret over him.] I guess coming back here makes that theory useless. It's strange. [And not quite how the worlds work back home.]

Would anyone mind telling me what's been happening here. It's... been a while since I've been here.

...And anyone from our world-- ACHOO!

[He rubs a hand over the edge of his nose, sniffing and looking just a bit sheepish for all the sneezes. The islands don't get as cold as this place, and he's certainly not used to it.]

check in with me. [He needs to make sure all his ducks are in order here.]

[Been away long enough and had enough memories being forgetten and whatnot.]

No. I think I remember where everything is. Just have to get down.

[Fair enough, man.]

Why'd you get up there, anyway? Isn't it freezing?

It's a little cold. [A little being a relative term. It's quite cold actually.]

I wanted a better view of the city. To see how things were.

Really? [She doesn't buy the "little" part, mister.]

Then, did you see what you needed to?

Really. [A slight smile in that case.]

Yeah, pretty much. The city doesn't look too different. I'll be coming down soon.

I guess, as long as you don't catch anything up there... [u sneezed dude.]

I promise. I won't get sick.

How are you doing, though?

I'm okay. [Nothing horrifying going on, at least.]

How about you? Besides cold, anyway.

Didn't get caught up in the battle, did you?

I'm okay. [A beat and...scratch that.] I'm doing good, actually. There might be something we need to talk about though.

Well, I wasn't gonna sit back and let my friends do all the fighting. [aka she did and it was... relatively fine, all things considered. geeze.]

...About what?

I wouldn't think that you did.

[And here's where the filter goes up. He doesn't want unwanted eyes on this.]

About you and Sora. Because... I think I saw you.

[That. Gives her quite the pause. It takes her a moment before she responds.]

What... What do you mean you saw me?

[Maybe this wasn't the best way to bring it up, but he had to.]

Just as I said. I... saw you, inside Sora.

You saw me.

[Saying that very, very weirdly and... just letting it sink in for a moment. She's not sure how to react that at all, so her following questions are a bit pushy and confused.]

...How? What happened?

I... [This is complicated. He awkwardly rubs the back of his neck for a moment.]

I had to save him, and dive into his heart. That's... the basics of it.

Then... Then I was inside his heart? [Trying to grasp this, so much.]

[He nods. It's bizarre, but it's the gist of it at least.]

Yeah. I couldn't recognize you, but it was you.

...I don't understand. I'm supposed to be gone, Riku.

[As in, completely. No trace left of her whatsoever. Zilch. Nada.]

I know, but, I can't explain it. You were there. You're a part of him after all, aren't you?

[Maybe it's like Roxas. Maybe she's still supposed to exist. Be saved.]

I am. I guess-- I am, but...

[Theoretically existing on any level after everything is surprisingly daunting.]

[Probably, which is why he smiles gently.]

I don't know everything about you, Xion. But somehow, I don't think seeing you was a bad thing.

[She looks pretty shocked there for a moment, before just...]

...Thank you, Riku.

You don't need to thank me. [GUH, PRAISE. WHY CAN'T HE ACCEPT IT EASILY.]

Just be honest.

Heh... that was an honest thank you.

[LEARN TO TAKE UR PRAISE, RIKUS and pretend this is a proper laughing icon sobs.]

Alright. [Buh, what is being laughed at.]

You're welcome, Xion.
