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!

[Being an only child and having no living family left? Kor was all too glad to have somebody he could call family again.]

Even another world couldn't keep us apart. Brothers forever!

[oathkeeper]

[And with how much he misses Riku and Kairi all the time he really appreciates Kor's friendship.]

that's right!

together we'll figure it all out! i've been finding out a lot of different things from other people too. did you know there's people called celestials that have cores instead of hearts? those cores can break off shards and can be put into other people

i dunno if that'll be the greatest way to go though

[spirialink]

wait seriously?!

[That catches his attention. That sounds way too familiar.]

That sounds just like what can happen with a Spiria!

[oathkeeper]

big time seriously!!

but i dunno it feels a little weird to think that the shard would have belonged to another heart before, i don't know about this one!

[Something tells him Vanitas would not be happy with someone else's dead "heart" in him.]

[spirialink]

Yeah no kidding...

[Kor remembers all too well what happened when Kohaku's Spiria shattered, and its shards wound up inside other people. It'd probably be the same thing here; even if the person was dead, their fragmented heart would still be alive and would affect Vanitas. Who knows what kind of impact it would have on him as a person.]

If only we could just make him a new half-heart with dreamotion, that'd solve all our problems!

[oathkeeper]

[And while Sora has somehow helped others with their own hearts before he's lost the power of waking in this world. He's not sure how to replicate any of that anymore. It's too complicated (and to be honest would probably only damage sora further.).]

yeah if only it was as easy as that huh

wait

do you think we could somehow do that? i don't know how powerful dreamotion really is when i think about it

[spirialink]

[Kor considers himself to be actually very skilled with dreamotion. The principles behind it weren't really all that different from things he already knew how to do.

...But it also meant he wasn't very creative with it. He used it to do things he already knew, rather than try to do things he couldn't before.]

You know

I'm not sure? I never even thought about using it like that

[oathkeeper]

maybe we should try that too?? i'm ready to explore every option we can think up!!

[Sora's own dreamotion is strong but still in the learning phase. He can make some pretty explosive things. But nothing like shaping a whole heart. Yet...? What are the limitations for dreams anyway? Could they do it?]

[spirialink]

it's worth a shot! And you know what I always say about trying something?

[you walked right into this one, Sora.]

[oathkeeper]

[Oh geeze. Here it comes... He'll humour the other boy.]

what do you say kor???

[LIKE HE DOESN'T KNOW...]

[spirialink]

Aww, i was hoping you'd say it...

[Come on, Sora, you're his brother, that catchphrase is, like, your birthright now.]

[oathkeeper]

what no way! i can't steal your thunder?

you sure??

[spirialink]

It's okay, it's all you this time. Make me proud!

[Don't blow this chance, Sora. You might not get another one if you screw it up.]

[oathkeeper]

[Alright! He's gonna do it! He's gonna write in really big letters across the page and put a bunch of explosions lines around it!!]

We don't try!! We dooooo!! And with style, I might add!!!

[Close enough, right? Plus all the explosions lines look super cool.]

[spirialink]

[Sora can't see it but right now, Kor is clapping and laughing up a storm right now. He's so proud of you, bro.]

That's right! And that's why we're gonna pull this off, one way or another!

[oathkeeper]

[Come on, he did that with style!!!]

pretty good, right?

yeah! we've got this!
