[ Riku is going to be stopping by Syaoran's room and giving the door a knock, remembering all of what's happened this week. But what he's seen recently is what's given him the push to visit in the first place. ]
Friends out of desperation because he suddenly had no one else to befriend because of some circumstances we're unaware of, more likely. I can't even imagine someone like him willingly wanting to become her friend just because.
[ He releases a sigh. ]
Admittedly, I was surprised too, and was a little disappointed before I gave it any thought.
I know I couldn't have stopped it. And that was a choice that Kimihiro himself made. But if he was lonely, I should have- [. . .] I still wish that I can do something to save him.

Riku will be entering the brunet's room after his words. Then, he'll place himself so he's leaning against a wall after closing the door. ]
...I thought it'd be best to approach you when no one else was around. [ So. ] I'll be frank:
Did something happen between you and Watanuki?
no subject
[ That isn't, of course, entirely answering Riku's question but for now it's enough. ]

[ Frowning a little... ]

no subject
[ He's quiet, just a little bit. ]
I just didn't expect Kimihiro to actually be friends with her. . .

I think I know why. . . but I can't help but feel like I could have done better.
[ Syaoran knows Kimihiro better than anyone else here, after all. ]

[ Riku got the feeling the other did too. ]

[ Raises a hand to lightly place on his shoulder. ]
We can still save him and everyone. I know it.
It's not over until we believe it is.

Thank you, Riku-san. You're honestly a nice person. No wonder you and Sora-senpai are friends.
[ ... ]
And you're right. We'll figure out a way to reach that future.
