[ He almost wants to ask just what happened with Riku and the world he came from for that look to appear on his face, for the words that came from him. And a part of him just can't help but compare it to another's face that held the same look, had the same air around him but covers it up with arrogance and mockery. Fayt's seen it before and he can see it here as clear as day.

Another soft hum before he speaks. ]

I know someone who was like that, but he's a lot more.. vocal when he tries to hide his faults. [ a soft chuckle ] Despite the bad things he did, he continued to travel with me and helped where he thought it was due. You know why?

[ Fayt looks back at Riku, his face soft with understanding. ]

It's because I forgave him for all the things he did. And in the end, I consider him a friend, albeit an odd one.

[ another smile ] I'm sure your friends will be the same, Riku.
