Excuse me.

[You'll have to forgive the Samurai for bumping into you all willy-nilly, Riku.]

[heroinwait]

Whatever.

[For a moment, Riku keeps going. But then he stops--turns, looks at the Samurai.]

Hey... what all do you know about this place?

[Why is he asking the Samurai this? He doesn't really know himself. But the guy looks as though he may be able to help him.]

[Jack stops midstride, but keeps his head down and his back to Riku.]

Not much, I am afraid. I am new to this place.

[heroinwait]

[Riku glances to one side.]

That makes two of us, then.

[theycalledme]

[Jack turns at that.]

Ah so you are new as well.

[heroinwait]

Yeah.

[There's a pause, and then Riku speaks again, hesitantly.]

Do you... believe what they said? About all the worlds being un-made?

[He wouldn't ask anyone he -knew- about this. But this guy doesn't know who he is. What he's done.]

For the time being.

[heroinwait]

[theycalledme]

Until I am given a reason to think otherwise.

[heroinwait]

[For a moment, Riku almost dares to hope. Almost.]

What might make you think otherwise?

[theycalledme]

Aku.

[Eyes narrow.]

[heroinwait]

Friend of yours, I'm guessing?

[Not. That he actually means friend. As soon as the words leave his mouth, Riku has a feeling that he just said the Wrong Thing.]
