[ Their odds aren't good. Riku knows that, too. He's noticed an... escalation, too. When before they could venture out on a little raft on the lake, there's now tales about creatures ripping people apart for attempting something in a boat. Things were already dangerous and that danger is growing, on top of the one looming over their heads.
A part of Riku isn't too convinced they aren't headed for an inevitable reset. A part of him also holds onto the hope that Sora will come back, he's always been able to pull off a miracle like there's nothing to it at all. A real hero, in every sense of the word.
It doesn't surprise Riku when his own failure to communicate effectively - to find the right words - results in being misunderstood. He wasn't very clear about what he meant when he said like you. He hears Quentin out, waits a moment, and then puts a hand around one of his friend's wrists.
He's not wrong. Everyone's hurt someone before. And what he said, that he's paid for it, Riku can relate with that feeling all too well. But he disagrees with the idea of there being some terrible place where people are punished for what they did while they were alive. This is another journey, another adventure, another road they have to walk. No greater power is judging them. ]
