Riku and Naminé step out into a light snowfall. The snowflakes slowly fall, melting before they can accumulate on the ground.

After walking for a bit, Naminé suddenly stops and looks up at the cloudy night sky. She extends her arms outward, palms facing up, and feels the snowflakes melt on her hands. Inhaling deeply, she looks at how her breathing becomes visible in the cold temperature.

Riku, having noticed that she stopped walking with him, stops and looks at the sky as well.

A few moments later, he hears Naminé walk up towards him, "Sorry. This is... the first time I... Actually feel the snow."

Right... She never left the Old Mansion back in Twilight Town...

"It's okay. What do you think?" Riku asks as he slightly quirks his head to the right.

"It's very pretty. I like it."

"Me too. We don't really get snow in Destiny Islands." Riku continues, "I remember when I was very little, Sora's mom took Sora and me someplace further inland, and we saw snow for the first time."

The two continue walking, while Naminé listens to Riku.

"I remember he got so excited about it that the day after it snowed, he ran out to see it and slipped on some of the ice that had formed." Riku shakes his head with a smile, "I laughed at him, but when I went after him, I also fell."

Naminé laughs, "I'll make sure to watch out for ice, then. If it snows more."

"It'll snow more, I think." Riku says as he looks around, "According to Yuffie, they usually already have a pile-up of snow on the ground around this time of year."

"I hope I get to see it."

Riku and Naminé walk in silence for a few more minutes, until the girl speaks up again.

"Hey, Riku?"

"Yeah"

"Your friends, they're very nice."

"I- Yeah...”
