[Why yes it's Vanitas again, lounging against a fence juuust somewhere. Somewhere.

Spoilers: he's in Goldenrod]

Nice weather. I'm enjoying this-- aren't you guys? [If a villain is talking nice, you know he's up to something.]

I think I'm going to take a better look at the sky.

[Dammit. It doesn't take much to figure out that this was A. on purpose, B. Minnie was a target of it, if not the target.]

Minnie-san. What's the significance of this?

[Yellow eyes like Tarantulas hasn't gone unnoticed either.]

He... he...

[stammering a few times because, really, how does one explain this?]

He... He looks like Sora... My friend Sora... But it's not possible!

This... this thing... Vanitas... He's not human... n-not before Johto...

First, calm down. He did this to get a rise out of people. He wants a reaction.

There are ways to copy a face in my world. What about yours?

[He's trying to find a reason that makes sense]

[Shutting her eyes tightly. Shaking hard.]

I... it's not just a copy... I know this thing isn't human... Not an animal, not a living being... Something beyond a Heartless, beyond a Nobody... no soul, nothing...

Deep breaths, Minnie-san. You control this, not him. Remember that.

[He nods but looks a little lost] Explain what those are?

They're... they're monsters... Heartless... They take out people's heart, and devour them... and turn those into more Heartless.. The body left behind turns into another monster, a Nobody... seeking destruction... These things have no hearts, no minds, they only exist to hurt others...

Vanitas... He's like them... and yet... above them... I-I can't describe it... I-I look into his eyes, and... and there's nothing...

[Those eyes, and here come the tears.]

An incomplete person... Yes, that does sound like a monster.

Nothing can be a terrifying thing but don't let it frighten you. In the end, nothing can't do as much as it thinks it can.

[He curses at the tears. Dammit, don't cry.] ...Do you need anything?

[her_mouse_jesty]

[She has cut off the feed to vanitas, but as a result of him, she looks a little... lost. that weird 'dead' look she had when she was in the well.]

... No. I don't need anything.

[He knows that look. He's worn that look before.]

Yes, you do. I know that look...

[It looks like he's on the move.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

[No response. She just closes her eyes, letting a few tears fall.]

[usedgigadrain]

[He says nothing but the feed shuts off and there's a knock on her door.]

action

[her_mouse_jesty]

[No response. Inside, she's hugging her knees.]

[usedgigadrain]

[That's not a good sign. He tries the door.]

Minnie-san, I'm coming in...

action

[her_mouse_jesty]

[The door isn't locked, so he'll easily be able to come in. She just sits there, holding herself, still quiet.]

action

[usedgigadrain]

[He comes in and sees her, and half considers going out to bang some heads of whoever is responsible into things, but after a moment to calm himself he walks over and kneels in front of her, putting a hand on her shoulder.]

Minnie-san, look at me. See me. Come out of wherever you are.

action

[her_mouse_jesty]

[After a moment, she lifts her head, and looks at him. Some life returns to her eyes, enough to recognize.]

... Kisame. I... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have even talked to him.
