Chapter 25 - Puzzle
"You're such a puzzle to me," he drummed his fingers on the chair arm, "in both the literal and figurative senses. It never fades, though you're gone. It never disappears, and yet it's far from your grasp. Would it perhaps summon you, if I reconstructed it? If I pieced together the physical puzzle that remains, would you return to answer my questions?" he stood and crossed the room, before kneeling down and reaching for the empty helmet. Instead of lifting it as he intended, he found his hand stroking the side of the visor tenderly. He snatched it back, and frowned at the traitorous appendage, "Curious."
A/N: Xemnas again, mostly because I loved the scene in the Chamber of Respite... or whatever it was called. It's 106 words, but DAMN is it hard to make Xemnas short and to the point, considering what a verbose and pedantic asshole he is! I know Aqua isn't physically there, or mentioned by name, but it's still about her, and she's there in spirit... kinda.
