[As this entry opens, there's several seconds of faint birdsong in the background. A good indicator that Vanitas is outside somewhere. Why not? It's finally overcast and not so glaringly hot, today.

Just when it might seem the journal was clicked on accidentally, a voice finally speaks up, cool and even as always.] Once upon a time, there

Fate plays a big role in everything, but your own decisions and the actions of others can affect it. So both free will and fate are important.

[vanityunbcoming]

[Ahhah. Just the person he wanted to talk to.] So then what's yours?

[soracles]

My fate, you mean?

[......]

That depends on the decisions I make.

[vanityunbcoming]

[It takes a moment before Vanitas replies to that. But when it comes, it's decisive and straight to the point.]

I want a rematch.

[Sora, meanwhile, is stopping short. he's not in any shape to fight right now, not when he just returned from the draft-- half of him wonders if Vanitas maybe knows that.]

What do you think you're gonna get from fighting me?

[vanityunbcoming]

An answer, maybe.

[soracles]

To?

[vanityunbcoming]

Whether you're right, or not.

[soracles]

[oh man... Sora's next question is less looking for an answer, more gauging how serious Vanitas is about this.]

And if I refuse?

[vanityunbcoming]

It's your choice. [Though whether Sora agrees to it or not, the outcome will be much the same.]

[soracles]

[... that does not exactly sound like it's Sora's choice.]

Give me a few days. [the "stay away from my friends in the meantime" is implied, as if exhaled out at the end.]

[vanityunbcoming]

Deal. [He has no problem leaving the small-fry alone, right now. They're not important.]
