Why do we put so much emphasis on the heart?

[The video feed shows a dark alley, obviously at night. Axel is holding the NV, but the camera angle is awkward and his face can't quite be seen. Off to the side, out of sight of the feed, there's a soft, inhuman growling.]Because we do, don't we? The source of feelings, obviously, the source of light

Someone sounds bitter.

Come inside, Axel. You've been outside since last night.

[fireintwilight]

Don't say you're really worried about me. It's useless.

[walkthedawn]

How is it useless?

video;

[fireintwilight]

Why bother when you know I can manage myself?

[walkthedawn]

Because you're being ridiculous.

[fireintwilight]

Riku...you really don't know everything, you know.

[walkthedawn]

No, I don't. Doesn't mean you're not being ridiculous.

[Private]

And I've spoken to Roxas and Joe.

[fireintwilight]

I guess you're ridiculous all the time, then, if that's what wanting some time alone amounts to.

[Private]

So?

video;

[walkthedawn]

Nah, I just get sick of seeing you guys.

[Private]

You're not just trying to be alone.

[fireintwilight]

But not of lecturing us over the NV, it seems.

[Private]

Oh? What am I trying to do, then?

video;

[walkthedawn]

Someone has to.

[Private]

Don't play dumb with me. Why else are you talking about how bad it would be to have a heart?

video; private

[fireintwilight]

Because it would be.
