[Holy shit, I take a nap and now we've got a giant mouse.]

Uh.

[adarkenedoath]

... Not entirely. Not yet.

[aguidingoath]

... What do you mean?

[adarkenedoath]

... Xehanort somehow missed it, but... Master Eraqus's heart is with mine.

[aguidingoath]

It's...

[Woah. WOAH. NEW INFO. ALL KINDS OF CRAZY NEW INFO GOING ON HERE.]

... It's in you? But that means it's gotta be in Xemnas too and... unless he split when his heart was freed up when he became a Heartless and Nobody, but if he did THAT then...

[... Headaches. Mickey can now has it.]

[adarkenedoath]

[Let's make things even worse!]

Did you meet Xehanort, after he took my body, but before he split himself?

[aguidingoath]

... I did. He didn't know who I was- and I didn't know who he was, at the time. If he did recognize me, he kept it on the downlow real good.

[adarkenedoath]

[And that one at least gets a smirk out of him.]

He didn't. Good to know it worked.

[aguidingoath]

Worked? Huh... I get the feelin' there's somethin' I'm missin', here.

[adarkenedoath]

There is. When you knew that Xehanort, did he ever show any signs of even having a heart then?

[aguidingoath]

Any signs of...

... I never met him for long. But he acted pretty strange, and seemed like he had emotions of some kind. He was surprised when Ansem told him to stop doin' the experiments, but... I can't remember much of him beyond that. He seemed pretty calm and composed.

[adarkenedoath]

... That's the last thing I really remember before this place. I couldn't fully remove his heart from my body, so with Aqua's help, I tried something else.

[aguidingoath]

… You… did somethin’ to his memory, didn’t ya?

[adarkenedoath]

Yeah, I did.

[aguidingoath]

I see... gosh. That's... that's powerful stuff ya must've did...

But it explains a lot. Why he was tryin' to find Ven again, in Castle Oblivion. Why he didn't recognize me... probably why it took him so long to get started as well.

[adarkenedoath]

... I was hoping that it wouldn't let him get started at all.
