'No one would ever ask him to leave his friends in danger.' If only that were true. There were too many times he'd been separated from his friends here and they'd wound up hurt. Because of this he keeps in contact with them as much as possible via text when they're apart.

You need to talk to Riku. I don't have the answers for you but I think he will. You need to use a different name like Riku does, too. And try to blend in. I don't know how either of you got here or what it will take to take me back to the life you're from. And if I try to fight them head on without knowing anything, they'll just take me away from my friends and hurt them. They've done it before. I won't let that happen again.
