The next day, Riku found himself sitting at his desk staring at the new reply picture. How should he respond to this? What should he ask about? If she could see into his memories, he could gain insight into what happened and stop Sora from being kidnapped. He could also figure out the context for his dreams. Last night Riku had dreamed of diving into Sora's dreams. What a bizarre concept! How was that even possible? And why did he leave the water to do so? Had he been about to drown? The concept etched itself into him through concern alone.

He sat back. In theory, what would happen would happen. What was clear was that he was right here, right now. Namine had her powers, which meant she could potentially influence anyone connected to Sora, which at this point would likely be anyone on the ship. This could be extremely dangerous. Any one who knew what she could do could easily figure out that her power over memory is the only power she could get back. While he doubted anyone who already knew about her gift wouldn't exploit it, that didn't mean others wouldn't if they learned of it.

Riku's picture was simple. To the left side of the page were Sora and Namine facing each other. Namine was the only one talking, and in the word bubble he drew was a picture of chains. to the righthand side was simply a large question mark. If anyone deserved to know that Namine had those powers back, it was Sora.

Maybe, if they had time... Maybe Namine could look at what bits of dreams he could remember and help him figure them out. For now it was time to take care of what mattered most right now and deliver the new drawing.
