[Like he has any room to judge what's odd or not.]

Hi, Namine. I'm all right, I guess. What's up with you?

[ At least he's well. Better than how she's feeling. ]

Bad.

I don't feel good and I want to make this feeling go away. So I wanted to talk to you.

[Oh No]

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Riku's gone.

[And she has no clue if they are on friendly terms or not when he was here, but she wants to say anyway. He did ask.]

I guess he got ported away? I don't know. I just know he's not here and I don't feel good now that he's not here...

What? He is?

[Immediately, Roxas feels a whole mixture of emotions. Some of them he can't really identify.

He'd be lying if he said relief wasn't among them.]

I...guess that stinks, for his friends. I'm sorry.

[Oh, so he hasn't heard yet. At least now he knows...but his reaction is different from how Sora and Kairi acted. She wonders why.]

You don't feel the same as his friends do?

We didn't get along. Or maybe it was just that I couldn't get along with him.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

I don't...hate him. But he's the one who took me and put me in that town.

[ There's a long silence that comes from her end. Naminé can't help it though, she's currently beating herself up mentally for even bringing something like this up. She should have known better, since she actually was there when Riku did it, and of course Roxas isn't happy about it.

Why did she ask him that? ]

...I remember...and I'm sure he wouldn't mind you feeling this way against him, after all we've done to you.

[The silence lasts a little longer. He feels...kind of gross, when he thinks about Namine feeling bad, even though she'd helped DiZ too. Because Roxas had seen how that man treated her, too. And because she probably thought of Riku as a friend so of course she's not happy to see him gone.]

Yeah. He didn't act that upset about it while he was here.

Heh, that sounds like him.

[ And knowing Riku, he probably thought he deserved it too. She's grateful Riku at least had his best friends around him to combat that. ]

You know...I can understand if you feel relief after he left, if you actually feel that way.

Maybe a little.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

When I first got here, I used to get scared that he'd decide he needed to put me back with Sora to make sure things turned out all right. I could have fought him, but I didn't want to. I never wanted to.

Because you're better than that, Roxas.

And...I don't think he would have put you back in again. He knows better than anyone how much you deserve a life too.

Not to mention he probably would have taken his time researching to see how things came like this. [She's still wrecking her brain over this!]

He would have if he thought it was necessary.

[Roxas knows that for sure.]

But it wasn't, so. I guess it doesn't matter now.
