[Hmm... interesting story. A few things don't add up, like her getting back with her parents if they'd already died, but he won't question it. Sounds like whoever posted the story is feeling pretty down. Why make the matter worse?

So, Riku hesitates, shutting his eyes, breathing softly. Stories, hmm... Well, there's one that's always stuck with him. Why not start there?

So when he opens his eyes, he regards the camera with a calm expression, speaking with a level tone.]

Once upon a time, there was this tiny world. A small island, surrounded by water. Almost like a prison. The people on the island were happy. They went about their days without a care in the world, all except one boy. To him, the world was just too small. He wanted to find a way off the islands and explore the outside world.

And then, one day, he did it. He got off the islands and never turned back. Nobody knows what happened to him since, but that one boy became a legend.

[At least, a legend in Riku's eyes.]
