Clear my head

[reversedestiny]

Characters: Sora (reversedestiny) and you!
Setting: Floor 25
Format: Starting in brackets, I will change to suit!
Summary: Sora's done a lot of thinking since his talk with Riku. He's still trying to sort a lot of things out, but right now? He's just distracting himself.
Warnings: None so far! Will change if things change!

[Sora had been unsure of what to think since the revelation that his so-called adoptive father had stolen his name. Given Riku's appearance that one time, and how he doubts Ansem is even a popular name, he has no choice but to believe him. The logic adds up. Ugh... Too much thinking, his head is hurting. He can dwell on the whys later. Right now he just... Needs to relax.

Which is why Sora is currently sprawled out among the flowers, eyes closed. He's trying not to think, trying to push it all from his mind for now. Ugh... This sucks...]

[So by that logic, they react to Sora and Ansem because they "like" them? What an emotionally-driven thought process. Instead of the why not, he approaches from the opposite side of the argument.]

Why would they? [And,] Why do you think they listen to Ansem?

[reversedestiny]

Well, they react to Ansem because he's their boss. I... Don't know why they really react to me, though. I guess because he told them to.

[He's thinking over this. Though, really, Zexion, he's not going to likely draw the conclusion that you have no heart from this.]

[Your loss then, Sora. Your loss.]

Precisely. They're conditioned to answer to those they deem the higher authority. Like and dislike have no place in their range of actions, which mean reasons for hostility stem not from who someone is, but another factor entirely.

[Such is the nature of the Heartless, and one would have to dehumanize another to understand. But dwell not on that for long.]

Did Ansem neglect to tell you something so basic?

[reversedestiny]

...Apparently he did.

[So he'll stand now. Hum... He's finding out a lot of things he was lied about, or that were omitted.]

...But I guess I'm coming to expect that he didn't tell me things.

[requital]

Perhaps he'd felt that you were not ready to hear them yet.

[Felt. As if.]

[reversedestiny]

...I doubt it. It seems he hid a lot of things from me on purpose.

[Congratulations, Zexion. He's talking, even if he's not happy about the topic.]

[requital]

For what reason?

[reversedestiny]

...Don't know yet. But they aren't looking very good.

[Nope, not at all.]
