[ that actually takes her back a little, leaving her in silence for a moment. she looks away for a moment, thinking. ]

... I've died twice, Sokka. Both times, it was because I possessed the Keyblade. I know it's a powerful weapon that can do good things, but ... without it, I never would have had to die. At least, not here. [ at home it was somewhat inevitable. ] ... I thought Riku understood that. But during that last week while everything was crazy, he had a Keyblade. It ... it was strange and I didn't like it, but it wasn't his fault he had it. I was going to apologize to him, but... then I heard that.

[ now she looks a little sad. ] It's like he wasn't even thinking about what it did to me. I know he wants to get stronger, but aren't there better ways than wanting ... that? He's so jealous of Sora... but he really has no idea what it's like to wield the Keyblade. It isn't always good. But he didn't even think. And ... it really hurt, to hear that. I guess ... I thought maybe he knew better.
