[There are scars there still. But they're healed -- they're just red lines now. They returned with him, when he came back, but they look a lot better than they did just a few months ago.
Riku isn't thinking about that, though. What Riku is thinking about is Kururu's words. "One of the people I knew from home." Like the times Sora left, and even when Roxas and Xion did. It leaves a hole there, the part of you that you reserved for them left empty and alone. It half feels like you shouldn't feel bad -- after all, you'll go back to see them eventually. But the unknown factors are what make it hard -- how long will it be? Will they come back before you leave again? Will you leave and they'll only have just arrived? It's hard to say.]
... Yeah, exactly. I feel like that too. It feels like it should be used productively, doesn't it?
