"Kid, you're a bit further south."
That was the first thing anyone in the Organization had ever said to him; before names, before explanations, before scoldings, before missions. And he'd never forgotten it.
He had no idea what had happened to him, to his world, to anyone or anything. He was lying on his back in an incredibly dark alley, with two people muttering amongst themselves above him. He blinked and lifted his arm up to shield his eyes from the rain. One of the two took note that he had moved and lowered his hood to regard him. The guy looked really scary at first, with a missing eye and a huge scar running down his cheek. He bent down to try and tell the kid where he was, but he got in the first word. The guy couldn't help but grin and reply cheekily, and motioned to the other guy, someone with blue hair and a couple of scars across his forehead, to help him carry the new arrival back to the castle.
After that night, Xigbar would crack jokes and make him feel a little more welcome, Saix wouldn't regard him unless he absolutely had to, and he never did find out about what had happened. Except for the fact he had apparently lost his heart that night, but he didn't believe that. He wouldn't have felt so much more at ease after hearing that if he didn't have a heart.
Now, he was lying on the broken ground of Hollow Bastion, dying or dissolving or whatever it was a Nobody did. He thought he saw that clichéd light, and he smiled at it, asking it the same question he'd asked Xigbar when they first met.
"Am I in Heaven?"
"Kid, you're a bit further south."
Whaddya know. It is funnier the second time.
