hey guys! i'm sora! i've been hanging out in this world for about five months now!

i wanted to asked everyone something that might help me figure out what i'm looking for. i wanted to ask what you think a heart is made out of.

and i don't mean your heart that makes your body work. i mean your heart. the thing inside of you that makes you who you are. that makes you happy or feel great. that makes you angry or cry. the heart inside of you that makes you part of everything around you or makes you see the light or darkness in your world.

i guess some people would call those souls? but i've always known them as hearts!

i wanna know what you think makes you, you. what your heart says about you! and how you think it got there.

let me know!

Notice how I am not begging for you to stop, idiot.

Just don't get yourself too deep into something that I'll have to pull you out of.

[oathkeeper]

sometimes we gotta do a little digging to find out what we need, right?

whatever happens, it's okay

[darkcharge]

I know, Sora. But I mean it when I say don't you dare get yourself into a situation that I have to pull you out of.

It's

It's not that serious.

[oathkeeper]

it's pretty serious to me

but okay, i think i can try and promise that. i'll be careful. i mean it.

[darkcharge]

I just mean that if you don't want me hurting people, then you don't need to force me to do it.

That's why I'm going to hold you to your promises.

[oathkeeper]

alright alright let's not talk about stuff like that!

[Just because he knows Vanitas really would do something like that.]

i'll even pinky promise you. deal?

[darkcharge]

You only don't want to hear it because you know I'd follow through with it.

[ Because he has committed a murder to save Sora's butt. And he feels no remorse for it. ]

Pinky promise?

[oathkeeper]

guilty as charged.

[Uh huh. Anyway.]

a pinky promise the most powerful and most unbreakable type of promise there is!

[darkcharge]

I've never done one of those Sora.

Of course I've never even heard of it.

[oathkeeper]

then we'll have to do one. i'll show you how it's done!

remember!! it's unbreakable!!

[darkcharge]

Nothing is unbreakable, Sora. The real question is: what is the consequence for breaking it?

[oathkeeper]

my heart will break :CCCCC

[darkcharge]

Ah huh. That's believable. If all of this hasn't broken your heart already then I don't think one little promise not followed through on will.

[oathkeeper]

that's the point of a promise though, vanitas! you aren't supposed to break them!

you just gotta believe me! a pinky swear is a pinky swear

[darkcharge]

Well we haven't made this promise yet have we? So as of right not it doesn't really mean anything if I'm speaking about hypothetically not following any promises I make.

[oathkeeper]

don't be so weird about it i already said i wouldn't get myself in trouble if i can help it.

[He draws dumb little heart. ♥]

[darkcharge]

You can draw all of the hearts you want.

I'm keeping my eye on you.

[oathkeeper]

i'm not surprised you would be!

i'm just really hoping that with all this i'll find something that can help.

[Help Vanitas.]

wrap up

[darkcharge]

[ Vanitas just sits there for a few moments. Tapping his pen against the journal. There are a lot of things he could write. Snarky, Snappy... ]

If it's you, I bet it'll work.

[ And he just settles on this. ]
