[Recent events have left a lot of flotsam cluttering the Destiny Islands beach over here, and the wind's blowing the waves into spray.

And sitting on a barrel over here, we have Xeha, gazing thoughtfully out over the waters. What's happened lately has been playing pretty heavily on his mind... These things come and go. But it's all shaken his confidence a little.

So, for the moment, the kid's taking it easy.]

There's gotta be something it can be used for that's good.

[More nodding-]

Just what? I've never seen anything... I don't know. Maybe it's just because all we've ever seen it for is the destructive stuff. Older - [pause] - the one I was talking to said 'knowledge', but that's kind of vague...

I really don't know, but... I'm sure someone will find out some day!

Yeah. Hm - it destroys, we know that, could that be made into 'renewing' or 'cleaning' something? Dark, night, maybe something to do with sleep? [He shrugs.] I'm just guessing here. I mean, all we know is that it's dangerous. But I guess light can be too. Stare into the sun too long and you'd go blind, right? Light can destroy things... but we've never seen it do that.

Well... I know there are places that burn old plants and stuff on purpose so new stuff can grow in. Maybe it's something like that? Maybe if there's... I dunno, a world out there where people have mostly died off, and nothing's really growing or anything... maybe the darkness takes it and makes it a new world?

That... would make a lot of sense with what I was told, actually...

But whatever the case, those guys were definitely doing it wrong if they really just want balance.

Yeah. They're not giving it a good name. It could be something! But not when it's full of Heartless and destruction!

Yeah. I hope things do work out someday. ...and I hope they have nothing to do with it.

[He gives a grim nod.] You can't make things right by destroying them. So I hope they'll go right some other way.

Yeah...

[man, this is a sort of depressing topic, isn't it.]

Mmm...

[He looks down, trying to think of a way to change it along a more inspiring route.]

Hey, um... what d'you know about spells? Like, aside from the basic stuff?

[she figures he's a good person to ask, since he's so smart, and it changes the subject!]

Uh, not much specifically? I mean, I can cast a few, but apart from that...

Darn. See, um, the Xigbar I ran into, I'm pretty sure she cast something on me, because suddenly I could only move really slowly. And after that, she cast something on the Heartless that turned them to stone.

Mmm. Okay, those aren't spells I know offhand... I might have something somewhere about those kind of things, but that's it?

Nah, it's okay. I was just asking you since you know a lot more about... well, everything, probably, than I do.

[Well, shucks, Sora. He looks a bit embarrassed.] I just get curious about these things, what can I say?

It's okay! I wasn't making fun of you or anything. I know some people just like learning a lot. I sorta do too, but I get bored easy.

I didn't think you were. [Eheh.] I just - always want to find things out... Always have. As long as I can remember.

[As long as he's been who he is now, he doesn't say.]

Well, it's definitely part of what makes you you! I don't think you'd be the same person if you didn't like trying to find things out.

[He looks a bit awkward.] Guess part of it might be that I always wanted to - find out who I was, too? But yeah. I can't imagine not wanting it.

Find out who you were?

[headtilt. yeah, she knows he looks like the jerks who tried to destroy this place, and even shares a name, but...]

Eh. It's ... kinda complicated. I don't remember things before I was about ten years old?

[Where 'about' is hiding a lot.]

So I used to wonder who my real parents were, where I came from, all that. Things about my past. That kind of 'who I was'.

Oh... d'you still want to know?

[y'know, considering... everything.]
