A/N: Mysteries comes in all forms (like the third symbol that Roxas draws on that table in the Library). Many enjoy solving mysteries if only so that they can have the pleasure of saying, "Aha! I knew it!" or "So that's what it was!" It's a good feeling.
Onto No. 4, then. Enjoy, read, and review.
"No. IV: Vexen, the Chilly Academic"
By Erik Larence
I don't miss it.
The annoyingly superfluous emotions—
They serve only as distraction.
For one that lacks a heart,
Studying it is made easier
As objectivity is an uncomplicated matter.
An empty shell is influenced
By neither darkness nor light.
However, there may be something I miss.
The genuine feelings of curiosity,
The — dare I say? — joy of finding
An ever-elusive truth—
I miss the feelings of an academic heart.
A/N: Vexen, the smart one in Organization XIII — he's a man very dedicated to his studies even after his studies cost him his heart. He's either an idiot or a genius.
