The repairing of my heart had been done through the bonds that I had. Those bonds had started to fill in the cracks and holes in my own heart. Without them, I am at a standstill. To be honest, I don't even know what the state of my heart had been before coming here. So I have no way to compare it.

[ In the end, it's an "all or nothing" sort of thing for Vanitas. Either his heart is repaired and light given to fix the fissures or it's nothing at all... ]
