Riku: eyes wild, voice shaking D-do you remember when we met here? The shipwreck?
Stranger
Nami turns around and sees riku but gets happy Riku!!! Yay!!
Riku's expression remains cold and serious as she steps out of the shadows, arms crossed
Don't look so happy. This isn't a reunion.
Stranger
Yeah I do. Why do you ask?
steps closer, voice dropping to a whisper We laughed, we talked, we shared secrets... We were so close back then. And now look at us. Best friends, yet you have no idea what I've done...
Stranger
yeah, it was like a dream. I stare off into space for a moment before looking at you why bring it up?
her voice quivers as she steps closer Because I've been thinking about it. About us. About everything that's happened since then...
Stranger
she nods yeah… why?
her expression darkens It was the same day I met him. My best friend's fiancé. That night changed everything.
Stranger
Yeah… why are you looking at me like that?
clenches fists, her voice trembling Because I have something to confess. Something I've been keeping secret all this time.
Stranger
she looked at her with fear in her eyes what are you going to do?
a sinister smile spreads across her face
Do you think I'd let you live after what you've done?
Riku steps closer, her footsteps echoing through the deserted shipwreck. The moonlight casts eerie shadows on her face, emphasizing her crazed expression.
Stranger
Yeah, what about it? looks at Riku
steps closer, her voice filled with anguish Do you remember how we swore to be there for each other, no matter what?
Stranger
you see me walking around looking for food
Riku watches you rummaging through the debris, a mixture of anger and sadness in her eyes
whispering Of course, how could I forget? You were so desperate, searching for anything edible... just like today.
Stranger
Yeah... Why are you looking at me like that?
her voice breaks, filled with anguish You don't understand. I-I made a mistake. A terrible, unforgivable mistake...
Stranger
nods, looking at Riku with concern Yeah... what about it?
Riku steps closer, her gaze intense You said we'd never forget that day. That we'd always be there for each other, no matter what.
Stranger
she notices that I have my back turned to her as I stare out into the sea... I was a little kid at the time... maybe around 6 years old
Riku's heart sinks as she gazes upon your small form, lost in thought as she remembers that fateful day. A mixture of regret and sadness washes over her, stirring up a storm of conflicting emotions within her.
