Ansem Report 16:

When half of a heart is taken, the other half will linger in this world and join its brethren as a Heartless. But, what of the first half? Surely it does not die... To die is to return to darkness, and the Heartless seemingly are darkness it self. No, Oblivion is out of the question.

If the Heartless are darkness, can the other half be light? Hmm, something tells me I shouldn't think so.

I have built a new contraption that has allowed me to study the metamorphosis of the other side of the heart. By simulating that half's own world here, in this world, I was successfully able to capture a half of that type and analyze it.

It became a creature doubtless never-before seen, at least by those of this world. Whereas the Heartless are normally the color black and operate with jerky, often violent, movements, this new entity was colored white and maneuvered fluidly.

Under closer examination, all traits showed to be exactly opposite of those exhibited by the old heartless, save for two of them which, instead, proved identical betwene them.

They seek the hearts of others, and do so by way of darkness.

I was uncertain as to what to call these new anti-heartless. But, as it seems the mysteries of the heart are limitless both in number and in oddity, I have decided to call them

The Endless.


AN: I know what it looks like, but it's not the end! Many more Reports to write before I'm though... (rubs hands together)

Learning that ALL THIRTEEN Ansem Reports were fake not only gave me one heck of a shock (as is probably only customary for surprises like that), but it kind of freaked me out, too… I've been at this for well over a year now, so, I obviously didn't get the idea from them... …Or did I?

Look at this: (the very first line of my very first fake AR) - "Believed though I did, that darkness was the true paradise sealed within the realm of Kingdom Hearts, I now believe I made a fatal error..."

And then look at this: (the very first line of the very first Secret Ansem Report you find) – "I have made a grave mistake."

Although the context is different, and therefore the exact meaning, you've gotta admit- there isn't very much difference between a "fatal error" and a "grave mistake".

This theory, the theory that the white heartless were going to be called "Endless", was based upon three specific points on the 13-pts graph labeled "HEARTLESS", "ENDLESS", and "NOBODY". I took the understanding that HEARTLESS meant the Heartless, and NOBODY only meant the Organization/guys in coats. Which left only ENDLESS to mean those white things.
