[ It's nice to hear Riku say that he trusted him, given that Sora had spent so much of his journey feeling like he'd been pushed to the side while the King and Riku did all the important work. Frustrating as it had been, he'd put up with it, understanding that he shouldn't rush into something without regaining his strength.

But, apparently he still doesn't know what he's doing, because now they're in this strange place for reasons he doesn't understand and he can't even access his Keyblade. ]

Yeah, it seems like it. I thought I ended up here because I went after Kairi, but if you're here...

[ He frowns, not really following but trying to make sense of it all the same. Something else is going on, and they still don't know what happened to Kairi, or if she's even okay.

He shakes his head, clearing that thought to focus on a more immediate problem. ] Riku, can you use your Keyblade here? [ Sora has to know if it's just him having lost his abilities again, or if there's more to it. ]
