Riku and Naminé got onto the futon and the bed, respectively. Noticing that Naminé had nothing to change into, Riku told her that she could probably borrow clothes from Yuffie or Aerith. It wasn't much of a genuine sleepover like the ones he had as a kid, especially considering that one of them was exhausted and rattled, but the two of them decide to stay awake for a little bit longer regardless.

"I mean, seriously, was a lab coat the best thing they could give you? It's winter."

"I don't think it even crossed their minds, really. Maybe they thought my Replica body couldn't feel it? But it can, and it is cold."

"Aren't they supposed to be smart? Considering they're scientists and all?"

"I don't think Di- Ansem. Ansem knows much about Nobodies."

The room falls silent after Naminé's last remark. Riku assumes her to be asleep, so he shifts to lay on his side and prepares to drift off as well.

The silence is interrupted with a quiet "Thank you, Riku."

"Of course. 'Night, Naminé."

"Goodnight."
