Buh?

Wha... huh?

I go poking around in Space Paranoids (and must wonder why, exactly, Ansem named it -that-), and find...

What exactly IS this?

Ah Light, Leon will probably blame ME for this... whatever it is... and try to have me arrested. Again. Ugh. I don't need this...

... interesting.

Why did you keep your Nobody name, I must ask? I wanted to rid myself of that as soon as possible.

But yes. I... well. Managed isn't the word, I think. It's more as if the universe itself woke up one morning and decided, arbitrarily, that Nobodies should have their hearts back.

I since extrapolated that it was a (rather ironic) result of Sora killing our Heartless and then opening the Door to Light, but... the point is, that I still am not sure I deserve this heart.

The prime reason why I kept this name is simply because myself, as well as others, seemed more accustomed to it. After ten years, it would be strange to simply call myself "Ienzo", especially considering the fact that I have changed over the course of time, especially over the past year. As of now, Ienzo is but a memory, a naive, yet intelligent student who wanted nothing more than to work for Ansem the Wise and study the heart...only to lose his own heart due to ignorance.

How ironic, for that is similar to how I became whole, in a sense. As for whether or not you deserve it, I suppose that all depends on whether or not you have changed or made an attempt to atone for your acts as a Nobody.

*nods* Yes. I... was for a time going by the name Iryen, from the name of a poet, a prophet and a scholar from the distant past of my... hm. of my particular iteration of Radiant Garden, I suppose. Ienzo is simply becuase once everyone figured out who I really was, that's what they chose to call me. *shrugs* it's not precisely my choice.

... we're quite similar, you and I. I returned to Radiant Garden against the urgings of my fellow ex-Nobodies becuase I felt I owed them a debt. I work every day to try in some way to undo the damage I did, to restore some part of the former glory of my home. Perhaps it's misguided and perhaps, as Leon says, I can never be forgiven for what I did but...

If I spend the rest of my life trying to do some good in the world... well, maybe I can't be forgiven, but at least some light will be brought into the lives of others.

We truly are similar... As for myself, I have spent the past year, almost two years now, in a world perhaps even stranger than this. Thanks to several 'associates' of mine, the primary one being Kairi (Indeed, she is the same Kairi from Radiant Garden), I have changed my views entirely...

However, certain other members of the Organization, who had not regained their hearts, weren't necessarily pleased by this. They even deemed me a "traitor", it seems.

With Kairi? With the little princess?

I haven't seen her since she was very small. Well, other than in Sora's memories. I... miss her, somewhat. I still remember, once, in the labs after dark, before... before we had begun to do such horrible things, she had a nightmare and came down to ask me for a glass of water. I took her to bed and read her a story... such a dear... and all grown up now, I suppose? Such a lovely young girl, from what I saw in Sora's memories. You're quite lucky, to have her.

As for me, well... Aerith is the only one here who really seems to believe that I might have come around. I don't... I mean, I'd like to but I don't think she will. I'm glad merely to be her friend, if it comes to that.

Before I left for here, oddly enough Relena - er, Larxene - had... heh. She left Lumari... Marluxia for me. She's... a very different woman, with a heart. But... well. When I gave her my decision she... she wouldn't come with me. It...

*sighs* nevermind, I won't trouble you with this.

and I imagine they werent.

Yes, she has grown considerably since then. I assume that she is only two years younger than myself, given that I had not aged during my time as a Nobody. We are...well, close friends, you could say, although I admit that my own feelings are a bit more complex.

Still, it's fortunate that at least someone is giving you a chance. I suppose the others haven't been near as open to your return? As for Larxene, or rather Relena... that truly is a shame, but you needn't worry about troubling me; I, too, have been through a considerable amount of conflict.

Leon feels that I should be executed for what I've done, as does most of Radiant Garden. They want a scapegoat, someone to blame for what happened to them. I can't exactly blame them, either. I tried to keep my identity hidden, but, well... yes.

A few of them who knew me before they found out who I was have stood by my side, but the vast majority... I've had to fix my windows three times this week alone, from people throwing rocks at my house. thank the Light I live on the edge of town.

But again. I can't blame them.

And yet, I'm not surprised. After all we, as well as the other members of the Organization, had reduced countless people to mere heartless for our own gain. To that end, I suppose the most you can do is continue to help, and perhaps then they will come to realize that you are no longer a threat.

Light willing.
