tl;dr

Well, it seems to me that it is about time for another of those regular updates about what a Nobody is, because I keep overhearing persons asking about it. Or, more occasionally, being questioned about it myself.

I must say, the pictures add a certain informational finesse to it all.

[bisexual_orchid]

I had hoped they would be useful illustrative examples, of course!

[honor_amongst]

Quite. And in such a universally understood language.

Would you mind a question from what you wrote there? Just one tonight.

[bisexual_orchid]

Communication is so very important, after all.

I'm rather inviting questions, in fact.

[honor_amongst]

Just an interesting point of phrasing in 'nearly every recorded case'... Did you mean to imply someone might actually recover from losing their heart?

[bisexual_orchid]

There have been two heartless who managed to recall a sense of self. One of them regained his heart through, essentially, divine intervention and resumed his normal life. Unfortunately, it didn't help his Nobody at all.

[honor_amongst]

That lends a certain difficulty to your situation. The other merely remained a heartless?

[bisexual_orchid]

Yes. He talked about Darkness a lot.

[honor_amongst]

I suppose that is understandable, given the nature of the being he became, anyway.

[bisexual_orchid]

I suppose so. I lack up-to-date knowledge on it, however; you'd have to ask Riku for more. The last I heard, they'd become somewhat close.

[honor_amongst]

Hmm, another oddity, if I understand the situation correctly. I haven't met 'Riku' but I'll have to see about changing that.

[bisexual_orchid]

I'm not sure it was a good sort of close, to be fair. Ansem truly was an anomoly. But overall, there have been many many tested cases found to be different.

[honor_amongst]

I have a feeling I'm in for an interesting conversation.

[bisexual_orchid]

I trust you to handle yourself.
