... Why do you wanna talk to him?

Someone told me he could tell me more about this place and how it works. Anyone with the relevant info would work just as well, that's just the only name I have to go on.

Well, what exactly do you wanna know about it?

Well... I'd like to know what this Organization is, and what they might be up to. Knowing which side of the line they stand on would be helpful, too.

Organization XIII. They're Nobodies, people without Hearts. They're the bad guys.

You're the second person I've heard mention hearts that way. What exactly is a Nobody? And... wouldn't being without a heart tend to make one dead? That's how it works where I'm from, at least...

They're what's left over after a person looses their heart to the Heartless. And I don't think it's their physical heart.

You must mean the heart in relation to emotions and compassion, then. I guess that kinda makes sense. What happens to the heart, though, after it's removed from the body?

Yeah, Nobodies don't have emotions.

It becomes a Heartless, like I said.

So... a Nobody is someone who's lost their heart, their emotions... and a Heartless is created from the lost heart? How does that work?

By giving into the Darkness in your Heart, or having other Heartless steal it.

Giving into the darkness, huh... Yeah, I've been there before. I'd rather not go back. What can I do to avoid these Heartless?

I'd say you're half way there.

That was the general idea.

... Have we spoken to each other before?

Umm... Not that I know of?

Huh. You sound familiar. Maybe it's just me.

Umm... Maybe I was here before? It sounds like that kind of thing happens sometimes... but I don't remember it if it did.

Hmmmm... What's your name?

Soma Cruz.

........

Nope! Sorry.

I see. Well, at least there's nothing I need to make up for that I haven't actually done?

If you want to look at it that way, I guess.

Still, your voice sounds real familiar.

Yours doesn't, to be honest.

It normally doesn't.

Yeah?

Someone mentioned your name to me, said you might have some information about what's going on here. Specifically, regarding the Organization?

Really. Who?

You new here? What about them?

Some guy named Epros. He talks kinda strangely, uses a lot of rhymes, but he seemed like a nice enough person.

Yeah, you could say that. I need to know what they're like, what they're up to, and how best to avoid or combat them, as necessary. Preferably avoid.

Weird.

Manipulative, cunning, and dangerous. They're after something called Kingdom Hearts, the source of all hearts. Long story short, to gain power. Fighting them varies, since each one has their specialty, but they can all be deadly. The best way to avoid them? Don't attract attention.

Sounds like someone else I know...

Kingdom Hearts? The source of all hearts? Not quite following you, there. Lust for power I can understand, though. Epros told me each of them uses a different element, so I get the differences there, too. Not attracting attention may be a bit difficult, but I'll try.

Considering I don't know who Epros is, it's probably time I find out.

Yeah. Everyone's heart starts out there. Yours too.

Here's a tip. Don't hang with anyone with a Keyblade like me or Sora. We attract attention whether or not we want to.

He should be floating around somewhere. Literally floating, I mean.

Huh. That's... an interesting concept. Nothing at all like the way we believe things work back home...

...Keyblade? What on earth is a Keyblade?

Is he human?

This isn't how we believe things work here. It is the way things work here. Trust me, I've seen it.

A weapon that can unlock doors, hearts, pathways... Probably other stuff. It has connections to Kingdom Hearts.

Not entirely human, no. But definitely not without emotion.

You've seen it? I'm not sure how to react to that. I mean, I've seen the forces of darkness in action, and I've seen light fighting it, but actually seeing the underpinnings? I don't know whether to say you're lucky or cursed.

That sounds like a rather double-edged weapon. Some doors were never meant to be opened.

Means he's probably not a Nobody at least.

I'd say both. It let me mess things up and fix other things.

Exactly.

Why use those abilities, then, if they have so much potential for disaster? Mind you, I am not asking this idly.

Why eat when you could choke? Fact is, it's the best way for me and Sora to fight anyone who wants to open those doors. Sora might be able to use his heart, but that's hard to use. ...And just darkness isn't good for my health. Or anyone else's.

Good answer. I wouldn't mind meeting you or your friend in person, if it's possible to arrange; it sounds like you've got one hell of a story to tell, between the two of you. As for such a meeting being dangerous for me... let's just say I can handle a fairly significant amount of danger. I'd rather not seek it out, but I can deal with it if it comes looking for me.
