Catch-All for Namine

In this case, yes. A heart is... I'm not sure how to really describe how important it is where I'm from.

The way I was born was... special, so I'm a little different from other Nobodies.

[specialdog]

How? The memory powers?

[whitewalls]

That's part of it.

The way I was created was... different, compared to other Nobodies. So I think that's why I ended up with the powers that I have.

[specialdog]

What made it special? Like it happened during an eclipse with a once-every-thousand-years planetary alignment?

[whitewalls]

... mostly the people involved. The girl I was born from has a pure heart. Most people have both light and darkness in their hearts, but she's one of the only ones who has no darkness at all.

And... other things happened, but it's kind of a long story.

[ Akane stares for a minute and then just


bursts out laughing ]

T-that kind of thing again? A heart with no darkness, huh? [ ahahaha ]

[whitewalls]

... it's a really popular topic back home.

[specialdog]

Even in a world with metaphorical hearts or whatever, isn't it kind of ridiculous to think anyone is that pure and good?

[whitewalls]

... it's not thinking.

It's just how it is. There's eight-- ah, nine, I suppose-- people with hearts of just light.

[specialdog]

[ And now she's just treating this whole thing like a made-up joke. She still believes Namine...? But, listen... ]

Ohh, do you have to gather them all up in one place for something special to happen?

[whitewalls]

[ .... YES THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENS BUT SHE KNOWS IT'LL SOUND STUPID IF SHE SAYS THAT ]

Ah. Maybe! Who knows?

[specialdog]

What about people with only dark in their hearts? Or does the scale only go from neutral to perfect?

[whitewalls]

... I know of someone.

I never met him personally though.

[specialdog]

Just one person? That's not very balanced.

[whitewalls]

As far as I'm aware.

[specialdog]

Do they do bad stuff?

[whitewalls]

I think it was more... the person who found him was bad.

[specialdog]

Huh...? Then the person with a completely dark heart isn't actually bad?

[ what's the distinction then... she doesn't get it... ]

[whitewalls]

It's... complicated.

And like I said, I never met him personally. I only have memories to go off of.

[specialdog]

It sure sounds complicated...

So, what, do you not have a heart?

[whitewalls]

... that's also complicated.

[ according to axel, she can grow one, like a chia pet. ]

[specialdog]

Why?

[ :) ]

[whitewalls]

[ hnnnn ]

... I don't have one. But Axel says that might be able to change.

[specialdog]

That seems good, then. Right?

How do you develop your own heart?

[whitewalls]

I don't know. Axel is... further ahead of me, in our timeline.
