[He watches Riku quietly. In fact, there's a long bit of silence before he finally speaks up.]

Lloyd will be alright. Cole's gonna be alright too. Last I saw? Sora's doing fine too. And you'll figure out what to do about you and Robin...one way or another. Same with Axel.

I mean, I'm not gonna say bad things won't happen...because they'll always happen. Even if you had never gotten the keyblade- you would've had bumps in your path. Real bad ones too. Maybe your problems now tend to be a bit weirder than most...but well, so are the upsides of your life, right? How many people get to use magic or travel worlds?

Now, as to whether or not all this is part of some greater plan or just a series of chances....I don't know. No one knows for sure. That's all about your own beliefs- I can't tell you what to believe. You gotta believe in what you feel is the right answer...whatever feels true in your heart.

As for me? Well, as I like to say: Whatever will be, will be.
