(Honestly while that could maybe be a reference, it seems weird to even mention that given it's not explicit. The outreached hand beckon isn't a Kingdom Hearts original thing.)

After bringing Kairi to be trained as a Keyblade wielder, Riku listens to Yen Sid's plans to protect the other [[Princesses of Heart]] and to bring back [[Terra]], [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]]. Mickey reveals to Riku that Aqua was with him back when they sealed the [[Door to Darkness]], but she stayed behind to stop a swarm of Heartless which were chasing Riku. Outraged by the story, Riku demands to know why Mickey kept this secret, but Yen Sid explains that because no one was capable of entering the [[Realm of Darkness]] and saving Aqua at the time, he forbade Mickey from ever telling anyone about Aqua as precaution against reckless rescue attempts; while Riku would have understood the danger of such an action, Sora would have cast caution to the wind and jumped at the chance to help. However, now they are both strong enough to mount a successful attempt, and when Kairi teases Riku for his eagerness, he explains how he is learning to follow his heart like Sora. When Kairi shows anxiety at training with Lea, [[Axel]]'s human form, Mickey and Riku reassure her that he is trustworthy and he even saved Sora. Yen Sid provides Mickey and Riku new clothes from [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]] which will shield them from the dark realm's darkness, so Riku and Mickey head off to save Aqua, with their new gear in tow.

[[File:Lightning reaches to Serah FFXIII-2.png|thumb|right|Lightning gives her hand out to Serah.]]
Riku's iconic scene in ''Kingdom Hearts'' where he reaches for Sora to follow him, later echoed by Vanitas and [[Young Xehanort]], is emulated in a scene in ''{{ns|finalfantasy|Final Fantasy XIII-2}}''; in a dream version of New Bodhum, Serah finds Lightning on the dock, who beckons for her to stay, saying that her family is waiting. After refusing, Lightning is engulfed in chaos.
