[ It never said that all resets came because people turned on each other. Riku realizes he'll need to check the log books again. Or at least do a better job telling people they exist.
Riku stands, facing Quentin not head-on but from the side, spine straight but still closed off - but he listens, his attention sharper once he realizes that Quentin doesn't just have a similar experience, but a more drastic one.
He has a lot of questions. Like was it time magic, similar to that used egregiously by Xehanort, or some digital simulation, like what the real Ansem did to Roxas?
The important part is that Riku appears to be swayed by his story, or at least by his conviction; eventually his shoulders lower, he exhales in a sound that might be one little laugh.
Sounds a little embarrassed. How does Quentin manage to make it sound worse every time he references it? Riku pushes his fingers into his hair as he shrugs. It's an old and practiced gesture, with nobody left here to recognize it for what it is. ]
Not even if you asked me nicely.
I get it. You're just like him. You'll trust and hope it works out because you looked for the best part of someone, instead of anticipating the worst.
