Ansem Report 18:
Half of the heart is Dreams, and the other is Memory. This explains the differences found between the two main types of heartless.
But, what of the old idea of light and darkness? What place do they hold in the heart?
It has long been thought, for generations, that the heart is half light, half dark. However, in light of my recent experiments, that turns out not to be the case. May I suggest, instead, that light and darkness each are only one half of a greater half? (I'm proposing that dreams' evil counterpart, the nightmare, occupies half of the Dreams section of the heart.)
Dreams at night, and Memories during the day, but neither is wholly bad. Bad memories are sometimes referred to as nightmares, I suppose, because there are no light and darkness subdivisions in Memories. Instead, one's Dreams side will determine what they think is foul, or disirable. Recollections included.
Why then, I wonder, do all manner of heartless reside entirely in darkness? Should not half of the black Heartless reside entirely in light?
This question puzzled me for a long time, but now, at last, I believe I have resolved it. Emotion. Emotion is the key. Emotion is the one thing they all lack, and therefore what they all need.
I attempted to recombine the Endless with the Heartless, but failed. Failed, in every trial, until I included fire.
Fire
restored the heart to its original state. Fire is the ingredient for
Emotion, the final ingredient of the Heart!

AN: Bleeeeeh. I'm not so sure I like this one. Too wordy. Not potent enough.
Hey, did anybody
else figure out that Ansem (or at least one of them) is
left-handed?.!. XD
Seriously, next time
you're in the Hollow Bastion Library on KH1, look at the desk on the
second level. There's a desk-lamp on the right of the chair, and a
quill on the left.
Soooo, guess what I'm trying to do... Yup. B-)
From now on, I'll be
writing all my rough-drafts for future Reports using only my left
hand! (even though I'm right-handed)
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! XD
Additional Note:
My Theory About the Origin of Ansem's Name:
"Menxxas"
+ my spell-checker helped me figure this out... XD
"Ansem"
is just "Mensa" spelled backwards, but with the "n"
and the "s" switched.
Ansem - mesna - Mensa (I hope you'll forgive my dumb makeshift "equels" sign) :p
"Mensa"
is...
1. The darkest
constellation in the southern hemisphere.
2. That constellation is
of a table; Mensa means "table"...and-or "table
of knowledge".
3. Therefore, Mensa is also the name of that
one, really big, international high-IQ club. (where you IQ
has to be measured in the top 2percent of the population to become a
member)
...An absolutely perfect name for a mad scientist! D
A friend of mine said that one of their friends said that "Ansem" was somehow derived from another word meaning "goose"...so I didn't know if people already knew about its connection to "Mensa" yet or not... ...I haven't been on any fan-sites in a really long while. XP
