[Action/Voice OPEN]
[Riku puts his communicator on in the early morning, thinking of asking anyone if they had seen Sora. He doesn't care if it's still morning, he's bothered that his best friend failed to return last night.]
[It's quiet at first. He almost wonders if his communicator is broken. There is a sudden cough, and another. Even by a cough he can recognize his best friend's voice.]
Sora? You alright? Where are you?
[Riku begins to feel anxious and worried. He leaves the shelter immediately, and checks the surrounding area. The air outside somehow feels thick and thin at the same time and dirty. Perhaps by instinct he heads to the beach, calling out for Sora. He is about to continue his search elsewhere when he notices a person sitting out there, calm as can be, nearly lounging against a palm tree. Upon closer inspection, he finds Sora. He frowns and opens his mouth to scold the boy, but Sora just looks at him....not AT him. Not at anything, really.]
Sora?
[There is no response to Riku's voice or touch, but the occasional twitch of Sora's body from the cough. His eyes are open, and Riku can still hear the breathing. Riku picks up the...body, and it feels cold, and lifeless. He stands there for a moment, looking around in a panic. He can't take him to the hospital, it's blocked off, and all the bots are dead. He starts back to the shelter, carrying Sora, too preoccupied with Sora's health to fully wonder what happened to him.]
[Riku's voice comes over the network, loud and trying to hide his panic.] Is anyone a Doctor?! It's Sora he...I don't know what's wrong. Is there a doctor or a healer or anyone?
