And now he saw. Everything. Murder. Parents burying children. Obliteration of all life. A child's cry.

Butterflies dancing in the wind. A mysterious woman smiling. Pure, honest love. A girl carving pictures in a cave.

Sora. Sora.

Unknowns unknown no more.

Ansem Report # 14 Throughout my journey to learn about the beings called Heartless, I have stumbled upon many unintentional discoveries. The most mysterious of all of these are the elusive Unknowns. I must find out the facts behind these beings, as they appear connected somehow to all living people and all Heartless. I will travel to their home world, which I have labeled the In- Between world. Hopefully I will find truth there.
