If I told you, there will be more a lot more questions. Make it worth it.

[ you're up ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

I told you about my parents, that's at least worth yours.

[darkremnants]

That would be equal, if I had any.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Opens mouth.

Closes it.]

My mother is Mizuho Watanabe and my father is Takashi Sugiura. I was born in the year 210, two weeks before my best friend.

[darkremnants]

{ not big enough, but she might argue anyways.

So let's try to put this in the easiest way possible. ]

I'm only half a heart. Half a person. My old Master split us in two.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[There's no way her backstory will be nearly enough to cover the shenanigans that are Kingdom Hearts.]

My best friends was a girl named Maria Akizuki. In fact, if I hadn't been before her, she would have died. Both of us were born with our umbilical cords wrapped around our necks, but her case was much more severe than mine. Because the assistant had learned what to do from my case, she was able to respond quickly enough to save Maria's life.

[ so he's the winner

also what is that face? ]

Do you regret it?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She blinks at him in surprise.]

Regret what?

[darkremnants]

That she was saved.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Wh-

Of course not!

[That's almost a snap.]

[darkremnants]

You were making a pretty interesting face when you were talking about it.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

That's...

[Ugh, how to explain it.]

It's been a long time since I've seen her. I miss her.

[darkremnants]

[ that's something he understands and hates that he understands. ]

Do you want to go back to your world?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Of course I do.

[Who doesn't?]

But I can't, so I'll do what I can here for now.

[A beat.]

Also, you owe me a bunch of details about your life now, too.

[darkremnants]

[ vanitas doesn't ]

He split us up and sent my other half to be raised along side Aqua and their friend. I was mostly alone in that place.

[ want an explanation for why? well there's a part of it ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[...Oh. She's taken aback for a moment.]

...Why?

[darkremnants]

Easy, so I can be brought up as a tool for his plans. I am darkness after all. I'm a villain who went up against the heroes time and time again.

[ his voice comes off as cold and detached. his posture doesn't change. it's a story still wrought with pain, but he's told it countless times for the Foundation and it's there for strangers to read if they buy the book or read the game. Anyone can know it... ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[There are so many things to unpack here.]

How is that even possible-? And besides that, are you really okay with just being a tool?

[darkremnants]

[ there's a lot more he's skipping over, but no way is he going to touch on that. ]

Why do you think I like being here in this world?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

...I wouldn't know.

[darkremnants]

Because the Foundation is much better.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

With a life like that, I suppose that's unsurprising...

Are you... still just acting as a tool?

[darkremnants]

Maybe. Maybe not. Being an agent has its advantages.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

...Well, I don't really understand "being made from darkness," but...

You seem like enough of your own person to me. So I don't see why you should still be anyone's tool.

[darkremnants]

[ hmm. ]

It's your turn.
