Did anyone here ever have the questionable pleasure of running into themselves?

...A blast from the past showed up. A "me", that never experienced anything of the stuff that really mattered.

[Like betraying Sora. Like getting possessed. Like Castle Oblivion. Like really anything of the stuff that had made him realize just how much of an idiot he'd been.]

...I have a request. Don't tell him anything about the things that happened beyond what he knows.

[Basically, don't tell him anything. At all.

Later that day, Riku can be found sitting in the tenth floor community room in Pisces, warily rubbing the bridge of his nose. And maybe kind of really wising whatever force invited them to Hinoto-Ri could have waited another eight months or so.]

whats the problem if you dont mind my asking

[dreamprotector]

I was an idiot at fifteen.

[...Okay, that's not all of it, but pretty much the best reason he can give without explaining the details. It's accurate anyways.]

[oops_i_diedx14]

past selves have a habit of being stupid or dumb in retrospect
good to know that seems to be a universal constant

[dreamprotector]

Is them thinking they know everything better than you also universally constant?

[oops_i_diedx14]

probably
i know a guy like that but hes a fucking nut job so
personally i listened to future me a lot because if i didnt bad things happened

[dreamprotector]

Never got into the position personally... but I know myself well enough.

[Well enough to know that his younger self probably won't listen; not until 'bad things' happen.]

[oops_i_diedx14]

im guessing stubborn and hardheaded
is that close

[Poor Riku.]

[dreamprotector]

Add arrogant- [and secretly insecure] -and you got it about right.

[Being Riku is suffering.]
