"Why do you insist on turning everything into one of your childish games?" demanded Roxas, finally fed up with Luxord's relentless efforts to draw him into a heartless killing contest. The older Nobody paused for a second, a thoughtful look on his face, before answering.

"I play games to understand life, because in the end, life is really just an extremely complicated game. We are all dealt a hand, and although we have no control over which cards we get we do have control over how we play them. Some people are content with a bad hand, fold early, and never risk much in life. Some are dealt a great hand, and go far with it. The most interesting people, however, are the ones who are dealt a bad hand, and bluff. They lose more often than not, but the game is more exciting while it lasts. And there are of course always the ones who win it all, even though they had nothing," Luxord trailed off looking wistfully towards the horizon.

"What about Nobodies?"

"Nobodies my dear boy, are players who refuse to fold even after the game is over and everyone else has gone home."
