[The bathroom door's half open, and anyone passing by might get a glimpse of Riku staring into the mirror. He's leaning against the counter on his arms, irritable and tense for reasons that relate to the latest spell. Does he know exactly why? Maybe. But if he does, there's nothing he plans to do about it.]

[apparently he's not even going to bother replying to that, because he's turning back in. he'll probably slam the door, too.]

[he'll just raise his voice a bit, then.]

So which of your friends did this asshole mess with, then?

[in that case, he stops.]

Going to tell me you're not him?

It'd be the truth.

[crosses his arms, looking faintly amused.]

Larxene's currently enjoying a pure Heart.

[frowns at that, leaning against the doorframe. he doesn't want to think about that.]

... Who are you?

My name is Kai.

[it's said so calmly, too.]

[stares at him for a moment, then narrows his eyes.]

Because Larxene wouldn't lie or anything.

True, true.

[taps his chin thoughtfully.]

Ask me something, then.

[quiets to think of something to ask, which doesn't come as easy as he'd like.]

... Riku's birthday. What did you do?

Drawings. One for mine, one for the one from before being possessed, and one for the kid. A picture of our trio at their respective ages.

[even manages a fond smile as he talks.]

[...frowns. he might've been happier if it was a trick.]

You're really him.

Unfortunately~.

[the smile drops and he shakes his head.]

Am I right in guessing you're my Riku, then?

[he tried to go for something not so telling, and isn't entirely sure still, but...]

Guess I am.

At least that body's not too bad, hm?

[looks at him, frowning again.]

There's that.

I mean, really, it's just a male you. Easy enough to deal with.

[shrugs and stretches.]

I'd like to complain about this one, but... well, you know the deal with it.

[narrows her eyes.]

Don't talk like Larxene just because you're in his body.

[pauses, looking almost genuinely surprised for a moment. that actually caught him off guard.]

Am I really...?

[not sure if that's good or not right now.]

Close enough.

...huh. Expect me to be all depressed when the spell is over.

... Alright.

[rubs at his face.]

It's very... odd, knowing I should be feeling certain things but not.

[sounding almost thoughtful.]

I bet it is.

[doesn't want to think about this at all.]

-- Where is he?

I don't know. I probably should've followed him...

[frooown.]

Yeah, you should've. Who knows what he'll do with your body?

[sounding irritated? you bet.]
