Time!
[ the screen flickers onto a scene in the training rooms; there's a complicated systems of fabricated heights and landscapes, all metal, but changing. it's for terrain training; so people can understand and utilize the things around them. it's simple and made of clean metal, and riku stands on one side of it, breathing heavily, eyes focused ahead. the camera itself is wobbly as intense flapping can be heard--it's most likely that the device is in the hands (well, claws) of one stellaluna the dream eater, especially in the way he glances towards the camera with a little smile.
the timer blinks on a screen above him; he turns his head to watch it blink 2:03, and he narrows his eyes, obviously displeased with that. the terrain changes again, and he yells start before he's set to run.
he just... doesn't run normally. he jumps from edge to edge where he should probably topple over the edge, tucks into a roll when he makes a slightly clumsy fall so he doesn't injure himself, climbs back up, slides and pitches himself suddenly forward, grabbing onto a ledge and hurtling himself backwards onto another one. nothing is purely decorative, not even the flips he does that seem a bit like showing off, some aspects purely gymnastic. either way, if he isn't doing an essential move, he's booking it straight to the other end of the course, head dropped low and tucked against his chest.
when he finally hits the flashing button on the end, he turns sharply. ]
Time!
[ loading. loading.
loading--
the same voice from before crackles. 1:49. he grins, and glances to stellaluna, raising his hand. ]
Hey, high-wing--
... hold it. [ squint. why do you have his tablet. why is the red light flashing--
fzzt. end feed. ]

You fight for the truth--do you believe them?
[video]
I learned the hard way to not simply believe what one in a position of power claims as truth. It is never the complete tale, and often what they do not reveal is the most important.

You're right.
