Really. Enough is enough.
It's late. DiZ is... well, Riku doesn't care where he is. He's not here. That's what's important. The selfish old man can't keep him from doing what he should have done all along.
The first thing Riku does is let Naminé go. "Destroy her"? Over his dead body, maybe, though he would find a way from beyond the grave to keep that from happening if he could. He hands her over to Axel, barely has any time in the rush and confusion to reassure her that it will be okay. He hopes that maybe he'll see her again someday. There's a chance, isn't there? Even if he says this is repayment for the favor she did for him in Castle Oblivion, he will always feel like he owes her so much more.
