Riku frowns at it, then gasps, registering the changes. Soul Eater is… different. The same, but not. The hilt is no longer so demonic in shape. Half of it has changed, becoming feathers, shaped softly like a bird's wing. The length of the blade is longer, the end still curving into the sharp spikes, but another feathery wing branching off the end. Becoming the teeth… of a Key—
No. No.
Riku drops it in a panic, heart fluttering. Did he steal Sora's Keyblade again? He can't have — Sora still had his when they fought. Riku hadn't pulled it to himself, exerted his will to claim it.
No, this is Soul Eater still. His blade. Darkness still courses through it; of course it is his.
What has he done?
Riku, a changing Keyblade, and the breaking of the day after the night.
