Can you lose something that was never truly yours?

I could tell you my name, but would it actually be my name? I am a replica of a person called Riku. I might have had a heart at one point, but it has been tampered with and destroyed. Even so, my only regret is never destroying the reason for my existence. MA: None ((Slightly AU Riku Replica. Never died, but was listed as dead.))

Riku Replica, I know you always said you didn't have a heart, but I never believed that. And whether or not you believed your feelings were real, I know mine were.

I returned to the house to face the creature there and I might not be coming back. The odds don't look too good. But I have to do this alone. I'm sorry I couldn't spend more time with you making memories. But you don't need me for that. You've always taken care of yourself just fine.

I wish I could have said this in person, but I couldn't take the risk of you following after me. I'd much rather you be safe.

I'm going to miss you very much.

It's better for you this way.

... Is this forever?

[heartlessreplica]

Goodbye.

Goodbye?

[tentaclinician-blog]

Yeah.

[heartlessreplica]

I'll be there one way or another.

[tentaclinician-blog]

I’m there right now if you need a reference point to open up a Corridor.

[heartlessreplica]

Alright.

[tentaclinician-blog]

I have another place you can stay at for now.

Until it’s gone.

[heartlessreplica]

Alright.

[tentaclinician-blog]

I don’t want you fighting that.

Besides, what if it doesn’t attack? What would you do then?

[heartlessreplica]

I don't know.

[tentaclinician-blog]

 It’s stronger than me.

Better, faster. Smarter too, probably.

[heartlessreplica]

Huh.

[tentaclinician-blog]

It’s more likely than not.

The entity is very dangerous.

[heartlessreplica]

But it needs to be taken care of.

[tentaclinician-blog]

It might hurt you. Badly.

[heartlessreplica]

Might.

[tentaclinician-blog]

It’s a long story. It’s occupied by something else now.

Something that looks like me but isn’t.

[heartlessreplica]

And if I go inside?

[tentaclinician-blog]

Yes. It’s the house.

[heartlessreplica]

What happened to the house.

[tentaclinician-blog]

It’s not you.

[heartlessreplica]

It's the house, then.

[heartlessreplica]

tentaclinician replied to your post: “You're back.”:

You should stay away from the house.

Alright.

[heartlessreplica]

You're back.

I am.

[heartlessreplica]

Hello.

Hello.

[heartlessreplica]

... I feel like I need to turn around and go back to Axel instead of to that house and that's saying a lot because I'm sick of him.
