[Yeah, there isn't exactly a 'face' to be seen right now, but if there was there would be a small, relieved smile on Riku's.]

...Yeah.

[He quickly crosses the rest of the distance to Yu, coming to stop right beside him.]

So this is the truth behind the illusion, huh?

[pitiedthefool]

[The feeling is mutual, at the very least. Yet as they stand there, seeing what they really look like - it's almost like that feeling he got over a year ago, but different at the same time. Things had become clear then, when he first saw the truth revealed. Now there was a bit of uncertainty after this one was revealed.

And yet again, he was a part of those who lifted the "veil" everyone was so comforted by. Part of him wonders if Igor and Margaret would be proud of him this time. Likely would. Probably would have been smacked with a tome or with tarot cards at this point, too.]

...Yeah.

[The silence was going to drive him crazy, though. At least he wasn't alone in it.]

I take it nothing works magic-wise, huh.

[Not that he'd be surprised, due to the dead silence where only his inner voice remains.]

[justabignobody]

[Well, a hit to the head can help along the way every now and then. Even if it only teaches you to duck in time to dodge the stick (or well... tome).

Never alone, certainly - not with so many people in this place, not when there is at least one of them who considers themself a friend. Certainly not as long as Riku is around, if he can help it.]

Not for me and not for anyone I have encountered so far. You?

[pitiedthefool]

Nothing. [He pauses though, sighing out of habit.] Guess this explains how it was so easy for Jason to manipulate them way back when.

[Or just how off it had seemed...]

[justabignobody]

...From that perspective, this is almost a relieve.

[He's never been victim to Jason, not in the most direct way, but he's heard plenty enough horror stories. To think that he's never worked on any actual body...]
