I found Sora, anyway.

Perhaps Namine is looking for the childlike empress Rabi was speaking of. He said this is like a story where something called the Nothing appears.

[cardoperatedboy]

Huh?

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

He didn't tell me all of the story, he said it was neverending, so I couldn't ask about the ending. But finding the characters is very important. It's how they make the Nothing go away.

[cardoperatedboy]

Well, I'M looking for the characters now.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

What will you do when you find them?

[cardoperatedboy]

Make sure they're okay. Protect them if they need it, or fight at their side.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

Those are very good reasons to search. You're not afraid of being alone in the dark?

[cardoperatedboy]

There's nothing to fear about the dark.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

I don't know why I am, but that is the feeling I get when I am alone and there is not light.

[cardoperatedboy]

Lots of people are afraid of the dark. But that's just because they don't know it.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

I don't think I was made to know it.

You don't get lost in it? Or stumble over things you don't see?

[cardoperatedboy]

Nope. Darkness is where I'm really at my best. It's just power; people shouldn't be afraid of that.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

Power can be terrifying, and burdensome. Like a sword, heavy to lift and capeable of hurting as well as protecting.

[cardoperatedboy]

It's harder to weild if you're afraid of it. Once it becomes an extension of you, you know what not to do and what to do.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

I am afraid...that is another difference between us. I can't accept darkness, I wasn't made for that.

[cardoperatedboy]

Not everyone is. It's the people who have darkness in them and are afraid of it, those are the really pathetic ones.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

What if the darkness wasn't meant to be there? I have only heard of one heart so pure it was incorruptible.

[cardoperatedboy]

Everyone has darkness in them. Darkness and light. Unless they're a princess of heart, then there's only light.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

Like Kairi...

[cardoperatedboy]

I guess. I don't really know her.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

She's kind. And very strong, to soothe the weaknesses of others' hearts...

[cardoperatedboy]

Of course she is. She's part of Namine.

[wingsinthedust.livejournal.com]

You said you did not truly know her. But if you know Namine, is that not knowing part of her at least?

[cardoperatedboy]

I guess so. Namine's enough for me, though.
