Night 48: West Wing, South Hall 1-A

[from here]

Another hallway, which meant that he needed to slow his steps to a jog and turn on his flashlight. His light shifted over the walls quickly, up, down, around him, and even toward the floor, as if little black heads with yellow beady eyes would suddenly pop out and attack him. Though he didn't have any idea what most of the monsters looked like here, Riku doubted that he would see anything like the heartless. They may have the Darkness to change Kairi completely, but it didn't seem like the type of thing they would use against their patients. Making them into heartless would only be useful in the situations where Nobodies might be involved. Some people here might be strong in heart, much like Sora had been, much like Kairi had been, but he doubted that would be the intended result of their experiments. No, they were probably going for something else.

But what?

Riku shook his head uncertainly before he picked up his pace again. Nothing seemed to be clear. Not even the Darkness of this place seemed like that Darkness, even as he tried to see if it was the same way. But with every aspect of him feeling relatively weaker, it was no surprise he couldn't really check, couldn't really differentiate to tell for certain. He also knew there was a possibility that his senses were weakened. That would slow him down more, but they didn't bother to remove his experience or knowledge. Those were still things Riku pocketed and kept. They were what would help him help his friends.

Ah, again into the dark hallways. It was painfully dull, and not even the idea of using his coat's black camouflage to sneak up on the Spider and startle him was all that entertaining at the moment. He hadn't lied when he told him he had lost his way - again, an embarrassing thing to have to own up to, but it was all the fault of these bare-boned walls. They were washed, uninteresting, and there was not a clock to be found on any of them.

...Alright, so maybe it was a bit of a lie - if he couldn't get lost in Wonderland, he couldn't get lost here. But what else would he tell the child? That he fell into a deep sleep normally reserved for Princesses or Roxas? Now, Luxord never enjoyed fibbing, but to tell the truth would only exacerbate their already exhausted and exiguous relationship.

Ever onward, ever onward.
