Christmas... It seems to be a rather special holiday for many of you, much like it is for those in worlds connected to my own.

Merry Christmas, everyone. [...That's what you're supposed to say, right?]



[A while later, ff you're out wandering the village Christmas Eve, you may just notice a familiar figure, however younger they might seem to those who know either of the other two 'Rikus'. Just walking around, covered in layers and still holding onto the journal he arrived with. Though, it is getting rather late... Why is he still outside on tonight of all nights?]

[Axel is in fact wandering the village on Christmas Eve. Or mostly out on a walk. His hood is down on his coat and he's just leisurely strolling with his hands in his pockets.

When he happens upon Dataku, Axel thinks it's the normal Riku at first, since Kohan is looking different nowadays. Except... huh.]

Did you shrink?

[The only thing familiar about this one is the fact that he's wearing a similar coat. Hence the faintest flicker of confusion as it clicks. Ah.

Dataku shakes his head.]

You know the real Riku. [He deducts that it's possible this man knows the replication as well...]

Aaand you're not him, then. Another replica?

[Heh.] Not quite.
