[Maybe... but anyone not strong enough to keep standing, to keep enduring... someone like that surely wasn't worthy of anything like redemption (of course there is the question of whether Riku himself is worthy of it, but those that ran were definitely even more undeserving than himself). Indeed, there are so many things she could do with her powers (maybe more than even she knows) - even within the tower - but that is what makes her strong... selfless. There are so many others that would have given into temptation and used that power differently and not just when forced to by the outside. And no; that isn't selfish either.
He too, could never ask for a better partner, a better friend - because she knows him in a way that nobody else does, that maybe nobody else ever will. With her, there is no need to pretend.
His head tilts a little, and his expression probably all but confirms his shame, the sheer force of the guilt weighting on him, and maybe also that he is just a little torn over it - this is the way he should be feeling, he knows, it's only right but... he shouldn't let it stop him from learning something so important, something that might keep them all safe sooner or later...
He is really maybe just as frustrated as he is ashamed, right now.]
