So that's it. My entire world... gone. My country, my people, everyone...

[A teenager in red and gold clothing slumps dejectedly onto the steps in Traverse Town's first district. A moogle carrying the communicator is hovering beside him.]

I'm sorry, kupo. For now, you'll have to make a new life here!

[Zuko looks up, showing his mismatched eyes;

[Blue hair and blue eyes; not always a normal combination, but she's smiling sympathetically.]

I'll help as much as I can. Please try to calm down so you can decide what to do with a clear head. Do you have questions?

[Some day, Zuko.]

No, it's alright. I don't mind. You're far from home, and looking for things that will still be familiar.

[She probably hasn't even heard of the Water Tribe. It was a stupid question.]

Something like that.

[innerflow]

[She's feeling guiltier and guiltier for not being able to answer properly.]

Please don't feel badly.

[restorehonour]

Don't worry about it.

Have you eaten something yet? I don't know what happened right before you left, but you must be needing food and rest by now.

The moogle gave me some money and a room, so I'll get by. I'm used to this kind of thing.

[Being in an unfamiliar land having lost everything, being forced to survive relying on nothing but his own back, and the random kindness of strangers... He never thought he'd have to live through another repeat of his time in the Earth Kingdom. At least this time he's prepared -- and not a wanted fugitive.]

You sound as though you became very resourceful. You must have gone through a lot.

[Zuko shrugs evasively. His past isn't something he likes to discuss.] My entire world's been through a lot recently.

Ours was, too, before coming here. I suppose it's one of the signs of the Heartless coming.

[Video]

[restorehonour]

You think so? Then maybe there's some kind of pattern to which worlds the Heartless will attack?

[Video]

[innerflow]

I'd like to analyze that possibility, but I don't have enough data at present. However, it should be safe to say that the Heartless will attacks worlds which, in some way or other, are open to the Darkness.

[restorehonour]

I figured that much. [Pause.] Guess the best way to learn about an enemy is to confront them directly. Speculation won't get us anywhere.

[innerflow]

I've fought the Heartless. They can be defeated, but not destroyed, yet.

[Video]

[restorehonour]

We're fighting an enemy that can't be destroyed?

[Sigh.] This just gets better and better.

[innerflow]

There's a way. A weapon that can defeat them completely. But we still need to research where it may be.
