Ah, though perhaps meaningless, [The Heartless begins, amber eyes cast towards the younger!Riku once more, but his Guardian's focus still on the older silver-haired teen.] desiring an explanation is understandable.
Surely you will at least allow such a request? [The question is for older!Riku, though he does not bother waiting for a reply as he begins to speak once more.]
You opened your heart to the darkness after much debate and stubbornness, child. [He's speaking back with the younger of the two.] You accepted the darkness within your own heart — accepted it as your weapon — had stopped resisting. Yet... you were still weak. I gave you the dark and yet you denied me.
Had you not refused me, you would have been able to amplify the darkness inside your heart. You established a relationship with the Heartless, having matured to an existence that had secured the power of darkness, yet you still had doubts. Still held fear within.
That is all. [He finishes with a flick of his hand, as if the whole ordeal had been a trivial matter, one that had not concerned him greatly.]
