A/N: Sorry I didn't update yesterday, my mom was on the computer and I couldn't get online. Anyway, I thought I should say that if you think I'm making the characters OOC, or are overly confused about the plot, or if I've just messed up my grammar somewhere, feel free to give constructive criticism through a review or even a PM if you don't want it to be public. I'm saying this because I've been reading through the last few chapters and I'm not sure I'm 100% happy with them. But it's really hard for me to judge my own writing sometimes, so I'm not sure. I don't think they're awful or anything, but the word limit is, well, limiting, and sometimes I have to omit a pretty adjective or a clarification or a nice worldbuilding detail so I can stay at one hundred words. I love constructive criticism, so don't worry about me biting your head off, LOL. Also if you're confused about something that has happened, feel free to ask a question and I'll try my best to answer. I won't give spoilers, though! :P There are still things you're not supposed to know or understand yet, after all. But asking won't hurt. Also, I love when people make predictions on what's going to happen, though I don't think you have enough information on the plot to attempt that yet. Feel free to prove me wrong!

Oh, and hopefully I don't come across as someone begging for reviews, because I'll admit I hate it when writers do that and I don't mean it that way at all! I won't stop updating simply because of a lack or reviews, and I won't try to force you to review if you're following or have favorited this story. I just like feedback, to know how I'm doing, you know?

Anyway, I hope Riku's not OOC in this chapter. It was a little hard to write, I think because he's still recovering from Xion's massive info-dump last chapter, XD


Riku's head was spinning. Xion wouldn't look at him, like she was afraid how he would react. Well, he didn't know how to react. He didn't even know what to think.

"The cataclysm created you? How is that even possible? How do you know there aren't others like you - wait, how do I know I can trust you?"

"I can't prove anything right now." Xion whispered. "But I promise, Riku, you can trust me."

He sighed, his energy draining out of him. "You know what? Just get some sleep. I can't promise I'll help you or anything, but I'll think about it."
