It is a general assumption that black epitomizes darkness. It is evil, pure and simple.
Riku knew it was not so simple. Pure black was almost impossible to attain. Even the tiniest sliver of light would change it; it would no longer be black. He knew the black he came across was not black, but mere attempts at capturing the monochromatic essence.
Riku longed to find this shade, untainted. It must exist somewhere beyond the confines of Destiny Islands. Not evil, but free. He knew his heart would wither if he remained separated from the black "darkness" behind the door.

Oh black. How I love you so. It's strange how complex and simple black can be at the same time. And it really is simple. It's either black or it's not, seen by my drabble about Zexion. But the multiple layers of interpretation of black makes it more complex than many people realize. The title reflects an important part of the drabble. Please tell me what you think.

 I really like how you put this together. You've created the feeling of more than one layer of the black colour in this, and put it together perfectly. And the title! It ties in with the theme so well. I love this.
 Thank you. I also wanted to create the compulsion in Riku's heart for leaving Destiny Islands. The true reason he felt so compelled to leave is never stated, so I wanted something to reflect it.-- Wandering the rain soaked nights.
