Subject #022 [audio]

[kekekescience]

[The sound of footsteps can be heard. Back and forth, back and forth. The surviving member of the Basement Crew is pacing.]

To place a heart within a fallen Nobody's empty chest...Hmph.

And still, the monster behind these killings continues to run rampant. [A snort, then nearly inaudible,] Apparently even the so-called protectors cannot handle it

I'm not an official protector around here, but we're doing everything we can. And when we find the son of a bitch, we'll take him down.

...What's a Nobody?

[kekekescience]

Certainly. Surely our suspect will have to turn up again eventually.

A being who lacks a heart.

[vaultpaladin]

And we'll be ready. Or at least, I will be.

How's that possible? ...Ha, you probably get asked that all the time, don't you?

Wait. Is Zexion-

[kekekescience]

I would hope that anyone would be ready, if they do not wish to succumb to a similar fate.

As long as we have a body and a soul, we are able to function. We do, but I can imagine that it is a difficult concept to understand, to those with hearts.

Yes. I see he has kept rather quiet about it, hm?

[vaultpaladin]

They usually still seem to be alone when it happens. So long as everyone's with another...or in groups.

That's funny. But how did you lose your heart in the first place? I mean...the organ.

We just met a while ago. I guess it's not something he throws around to people.

[kekekescience]

The obvious pattern, indeed.

It is...a long story. [He's not in the mood to spill his guts right now.]

Hnn. Ah yes, you are fairly new to the city as well, aren't you?
