[Riku smirks at Kairi when tiny!him wins the race, glad that that bit of awkwardness cleared up quickly enough. But by the time they reach the storm and Sora's question, there's no way he's gonna get an answer from Riku.
Riku's not even thinking about the storm right now. He's a little bit surprised--he remembers that day on the islands. He remembers finishing up the raft, making sure all the provisions were properly stored, ensuring that everything would be ready for their departure the next morning... he'd been doing that while the sun was setting.
While Sora and Kairi had their talk, apparently.
And it's -strange-, really, strange to hear Kairi exclaim that the two of them should take the raft and go, that they should leave him behind. But she has to be joking... right? There's no way that she would have left him behind.
Right?
So Riku doesn't answer Sora's question--but not because he won't speak to him. This time, it's because he's reeling from surprise and confusion.]
