[The image in the video is as dark as ever, but there appears to be something different this time; there are no visible monsters, no dead bodies. Just a recent arrival - Vanitas - standing still, watching something very intently.]

[ and what he's watching comes onto the video not a moment after; a twitching, black monstrosity that seems to have

[Well, that was an interesting show. Maybe there was more to Sora then he had guessed.]

Too bad. I was hoping you'd stay that way for awhile.

[Excuse that shamelessly smug tone, Sora.]

Grr--shut up!

[ he stumbled, shakily, to his feet, summoning Ultima Weapon. its presence felt heavy, felt like it was an anchor, keeping him from being too distraught. ]

[Vanitas doesn't even so much as think about summoning Void Gear. He wasn't there for a fight - not now, at least.]

Now you're upset? Funny - a minute ago, you were just fine.

[ultimarecipe]

A minute ago, I wasn't--

[ myself. it's hard to say it. just what was he? and why didn't he remember anything? ]

What'd you do?

[action]

[forgingoblivion]

Me?

[Now he's in denial.

It's hard for Vanitas not to burst out laughing; this is just too much.]

Nothing. I just found you.

That's a lie!

[ it has to be. he's never been that sort of creature on his own! he's only fought against his own shadow, not become it. he's angry; he's upset. he doesn't want to think this is happening to him, but most of all, he certainly doesn't want to think that this is going unchecked and that he doesn't know and doesn't know when it began! ]

[forgingoblivion]

You don't remember? And here I was hoping you would tell me how you ended up that way.

[Not that it would have been that easy, anyway...but that doesn't stop him from being curious.]

I'm sure it's quite the story.

[ultimarecipe]

There's no story 'cause you're the one that did this! You have to be, there's no one else around and I definitely didn't do anything to me! Why'd I wanna be a Heartless?

Say whatever you want. But you're the only one who knows the reason this happened, Sora.

Think about that.

[Without another word, a portal opens behind the boy. A few steps inside, and Vanitas is gone in a second.

He'd stick around for more, but he'd rather leave Sora with something to wonder about.]
