[The question about Kairi accelerates things for Riku. As much as he would like to put it off, put off certain conversations, they have to happen now. The only reason he's not freaking out is because he knows it's the best for him and the best for Sora. They both need him to be calm. Grounded.
It's hard for Riku to know the right approach here otherwise. He doesn't know what to tell him. Kairi's fine, and Sora's lack of remembrance over that is weird, though not altogether. Whatever happened, however he faded away—to some degree, it makes sense that he might not know the finer details. If Kairi's here, that could be bad. But Riku has his doubts.
What does he tell him?
No, he knows what to tell him. As much as he'd like to conceal the truth from Sora, Sora knew what he was risking. They all did. And he thinks they all had a feeling it would end a certain way.]
She's not here.
[Confident. He debates the right thing to say. Wavers over it.]
I think ... if we're here for a reason, it's because I'm here to find you. You got Kairi back home. You just ... [A beat.] ... didn't get to stay for long.
