Summary: Reality often had very little appeal.
Everyone at Radiant Garden knows that Sila Kisara likes to pretend.
She crafts pet names for Ansem's six assistants. Aeleus goes by "Herro", but he just cocks his head to the side and goes with the flow. She calls Ienzo, "Kai" and pats him on the head. He frowns at her. She dubs Dilan, "Jayn", which brings about wide grins and muffled snickers and results in an especially serious eye injury.
She pretends that they are all a family and no one is sure for who she means to benefit; if she thinks b they /b feel like outcasts, or if she herself feels misplaced.
Once in awhile, she pretends to have conversations with empty rooms. Making faces at people who aren't there. Xehanort asks her about this and she sobs and laughs and sobs some more. No one comments the next time she curses a voice no one else can hear.
Ansem tells her she has to attend special schooling at the Hero Guild and she makes a big scene. Soon after, she astonishes Xehanort with a chaste kiss on the lips, and when she pats Ienzo on the head and he makes his face at her, she frowns back at him. Ienzo frowns even harder but for a different reason now.
She pretends she's not coming back.
Of course, Ansem is furious when she b does /b return. He expresses these feelings to his daughter while she sits (with better posture now) and demonstrates a composed disposition, complimented by a bored stare. She a different person now, pretending that she died in a beautiful tragedy after they'd sent her away, and that this is hell. She finds it very uninteresting.
Surprising her in her room, Xehanort pins her against the wall kissing her fiercely, bruising her mouth with his ardor. She kisses him back with just as much passion and soon his hands are frenzied pulling at her clothes. She mummers endearments in foreign languages and whispers for him not to stop.
Later, while they lay together and the fervor fades into sleepy warmth, he holds her close and asks if she thinks this will last. She's half asleep and comfortable but she smiles morosely; her eyes never open when she replies, "No. None of this could last." She pretends to be content with that answer.
He kisses her shoulder and decides to pretend their love is possible.
