It has been awhile since we've last spoken, Paixao. I hope you will accept this gift to make up for my absence. Read closely, and think on this knowledge well.


To understand how the heart works, one must comprehend its balance and what happens when that balance is lost. How does it function with an abundance of darkness? Of Light?

How much until it is thrown over the edge, to a point of no return?

Each heart reacts differently - should they not all operate the same? How are we able to understand anything if our subjects are not on the same controlled level? I wonder, is it possible to reshape a person's heart, so that then we will be able to do our testing properly?

PROJECT F - EXPERIMENT NO. 1
SPECIMEN DESIGNATION: Laharl

PROCEDURE: Injections of darkness, followed by a single injection of pure light.
RESULTS: As a creature of darkness, the subject was able to accept large amounts of darkness, during which he began to take on the physical traits of a common Heartless (glowing eyes, visible and palpable aura of darkness). He reacted poorly to the injection of light, however, and rather forcefully escaped from the laboratory.
CONCLUSIONS: Like accepts like. Creature of darkness may not be able to handle light and vice-versa.
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS: Whether the light acted as a catalyst against darkness injected or against natural darkness.
POSSIBLE FUTURE EXPERIMENTS: Injections either entirely of light or darkness.

PROJECT E - EXPERIMENT NO. 6
SPECIMEN DESIGNATION: Zidane Tribal

PROCEDURE: Injections of darkness.
RESULTS: Subject entered injured and was revived with potion before injections, which may have affected results. Subject was completely unable to assimilate any darkness and instead gained powers not unlike those of the Heartless.
CONCLUSIONS: Creatures of light do not react well to darkness. Weaker hearts may not stand up to darkness well.
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS: To what extent the injury and potion affected results (if at all), Strength of subject's heart to begin with, Amount of darkness needed to make subject lose his heart completely.
POSSIBLE FUTURE EXPERIMENTS: Further injections of darkness.

Huh. That's true. So why keep us around when they're done? What's the point?

[trademark_skull]

Maybe they aren't done with us yet?

[drillsanddrool]

It's possible. They might see their specimens as reusable or want to see if there are any lasting effects. It's rather efficient, really.

[trademark_skull]

Seems likely. The whole thing is sickening just thinking about it. [Who knew what else those guys were doing to people up there.]

[drillsanddrool]

Call it what you want, but the information is fascinating! If I wasn't a test subject in this, it would be the project of the century! Hell, I'd almost take part if I could have footage of the procedures and a copy of the report! ...And if it wasn't on the heart. That's not something you mess with. [which is why he's thrilled that someone else is doing that job for him]

[trademark_skull]

Y-.. you're actually interested in these results?!

[Poor poor Emizel, he has no idea how crazy you really are...]

[drillsanddrool]

Of course I am! It's not an experiment I would do personally, but this is absolutely wonderful! Where did they manage to get pure, concentrated forms of light and darkness? I wonder if I could harvest the darkness from those Heartless... Haaah... Haaaah~! [he has no idea what he would do with it but it sounds like an absolutely awesome thing to just own. He could brag about having it and that's enough for him]

Ergh... Why can't I have more time to take notes?!

[trademark_skull]

B-but that's just--!

[... well, then again you are a demon. So doing horrible things is kinda justified. B-but still!]

[drillsanddrool]

Just what? It's progress! I can benefit from others' research, even if it's something I wouldn't do, and that's just what I plan to do!

[trademark_skull]

[Well, maybe when putting it that way] .... I guess so.

[drillsanddrool]

You just don't understand the scientific importance of it all.

[trademark_skull]

What would you even do with it?

[drillsanddrool]

Why would I need to do anything with it? It's there and that's all that matters.

[trademark_skull]

[... Wonders what the point would even be then, but probably should just drop it now.]
