Don't do this because you feel like you have to for someone else. Don't do this because you feel like it's the right thing to do. Don't do this because you don't want to let anyone down and don't do this because you feel like there's no other option. Forget about Sora. Forget about Minnie. Forget about what even Naminé might see or think with you doing this.

[ Riku's voice is firm, steady, yet not intending to chide or put down. ]

Do this because you want to. That's what sets you apart from being a replica. Because it's your choice, not your so-called fate.
