[Even looking at Sora now, he can see him sitting beside Kairi, holding her hand. From a distance, he couldn't get the full depth of what was happening: Kairi's tears, the sense that this was a time to say goodbye. None of it. But he remembers Sora flickering out of existence, leaving the waking world to go somewhere else. The reminder makes his heart ache.
Not that it matters. Riku knows that what happened there can't prevent what happens here. If it's the two of them, they can work together, just like him and King Mickey. They got to the Realm of Darkness together. He can show Sora the way now that he has that power, and maybe even help balance him a little more than he had before. Or, well, he can hope.
Riku watches the specters and then crouches down, putting his hand to the ground (if the floor of the Facility can even be called that, covered in new growth and life all over).]
I'll check. Come here. [He looks at Peggy, and then extends his hand to her. He wears fingerless gloves, so if she's got bare hands right now, there's a risk of emotional contact. But in Riku's opinion, that's not a bad thing. His gaze is steady and calm, inviting yet not pushy. If she isn't interested in what he can do, that's fine. But he knows what it's like to need to save a friend, so he doubts that'll be the case here.] If there's a way inside, I'll be able to find it. Then the three of us can go together.
