After the battle

[Ren had checked himself out of Medical when he got himself patched up--mostly bandages on his arms, legs, and back from all the attacks he'd taken before his henshin. And now, he found a quiet place to be alone--or so he thought anyway.
He'd had to push it to the back of his mind during the battle, but now he had to deal with the reality that his successor had been killed, leaving him to retake the Knight deck. Even when he'd tried to give it back, Ryuki hadn't taken it--just gone on about how they were going to try to live up to their original counterparts.
He sighed as he looked at the deck. Not only did he feel grief for someone he didn't even know, but now he knew just how much others saw him and the other Riders he'd fought with as heroes. When they weren't. They'd just had their own reasons to fight, and that was it. Ayame's description of them as "less than model citizens" was kind. Even now, all he just wanted was for his mission to be over so he could go home.
He wasn't paying attention if anyone was walking by. His thoughts were just too heavy to ignore.]
