10 Black Feathers [Voice]

[first_darkness]

[ With winter coming around, the days are getting shorter. It's a much more pronounced effect than it was back on her world, with frost and snow being rare in all but the most northern and southern regions.

It's not that she minds the cold. It's annoying, but it doesn't affect her the same way it would someone whose primary reliance is on flesh and blood.

No, what she minds is the reminder that she's alone. It's not something she thought she'd care about. But between the last experiment where she interacted with so many people, approaching her third year in this place, and the strange lack of comfort from this darkness which isn't her own, Saten is finally facing the fact that this is the first time in her entire life that she's really been alone.

She takes the opportunity presented by the warmth of the heat wave to settle down on the roof of CH7, just as the sun begins to set. Watching dying light is always comforting in a twisted way. ]

Who else out there is aligned with darkness?

Do you know that for sure? Your world has sounded plenty like mine so far.

[stilldontgotit]

Well, I'll put it this way; that darkness I was talking about? It comes from within, not from some outside source. And while there are creatures made out of darkness and people born with pure hearts of light, they're just elements of a complete being. I mean, there's Kingdom Hearts, which is the heart of all worlds, but that's about as close as it gets.

[first_darkness]

... That last part is the only one that sounds strange.

[stilldontgotit]

But that's just it. Every heart comes from Kingdom Hearts. It's the source of all hearts for both people and worlds, and light and dark are just components of them, with every person's inner darkness being unstable and destructive by comparison.

Probably doesn't help that it's usually tied to negative feelings like anger, hate, and jealousy.

[first_darkness]

... Disgusting.

[ And now we've come full circle. ]

[stilldontgotit]

Maybe, but to me it's normal. Might be wise to consider other worlds more, rather than assuming they all follow familiar rules.

But like it or not, I'm sticking to the path that's worked for me. Better than just sticking to blacks and whites.

[first_darkness]

I'm not that inclined to when darkness is villainized in other worlds as well.

Blacks and whites are plenty when you decide your own morality.
