Sora felt cold, as he opened his eyes, the feeling of snow softly raining down upon his face. Sora could feel his fingers on his left hand going numb. Suddenly Sora jumped up, he could feel his hand, something the teen hadn't thought possible since he was a child. Sora started to rub his hand, feeling the bitter pain of the cold for the first time until he realized something looking down, he had a new right arm.

"What's going on, why do I have an arm?" Sora yelled as he continued to feel his new body part, as he continued to rub his face, the new right arm felt real, and soft despite it being cold and pale, but then Sora realized some things that nearly made his heart stop. First, the arm was feminine, and had a wedding ring on the ring finger, making Sora wonder whose arm it was and how Donna, or however, attached the arm to his stump and made it work. The second thing Sora wondered about was where Donna was. Was he still dreaming or did something happen while he was sleeping and Donna just happened to leave him in the snow

"Hey, Sora! I see you have a right arm, sweet. Who'd ya kill, that arm looks like it was happy elsewhere judging by the ring!" Angie said, floating over to Sora, as the blue-haired teen pointed at the doll as she sat on a nearby tree.

"Angie! What's going on here, where's Donna?" Sora yelled as the sounds of footsteps and howling could be heard in the distance, Angie quickly floated onto Sora's shoulder. Sora began to run towards the center of the village, the howling got closer, as Sora and Angie bolted to the center of the mad village. A dozen of Lycan corpses littered the ground, turning into dust and mold, Sora looked and saw a trail of blood on the ground, whoever's blood it was must have been injured. Sora ran after the mysterious figure, he didn't know why he wanted to help the stranger, but something inside of his chest made him wanna go and save them.

"Hey, Sora, should you be more careful, we don't know if that person is a villager or if this is a trick from Mother Miranda?" Angie said, causing Sora to stop when he saw the figure bleeding out on the steps to the Duke's shop.

"Gotta get to House Beneviento, help me!" The figure said, gasping as she held her side, Sora could see blood pouring from what looked like an arrow wound. Sora was silent as he grabbed the figure, they were pretty light and held a shotgun in their hands, Sora looked over to Angie, and the group rushed over to Donna's place. Sora knew this must have been a dream or something similar, if he was able to grab hold of the teen, well their weight and figure seemed feminine to him, so for now he'd go with this answer till later.

Sora looked at the teen, she was barely holding onto her shotgun, but she was still awake, she moaned as he ran through the doll forest, the old bridge, and

the gardens. Until Sora pounded against the door that required him to give up his memories, Sora cursed to himself, as he handed Angie the wedding ring, that was on his new arm, watching the doll slip the ring into the slot, causing the door to open, Sora didn't waste a second, running into the elevator, Angie quickly ended, as they were sent upwards.

"We're almost there, Donna's gonna make sure you're ok. Just stay awake a little longer, got it?" Sora yelled to the teen, as he began pressing his free hand against the wound, attempting to hold back some of the bleeding. The gate opened, and Sora ran as fast as he could, he didn't stop until he slammed into Donna's door, grabbed the handle, and ran inside. Angie bolted deeper into the house to find Donna, while Sora placed the girl on the floor, he was beginning to lose it, he needed Donna to come, his chest was aching at the sight of the teen, and began ripping at her shirt, using a piece to help stop the bleeding.

The teen removed her mask in an attempt to help her breathe, upon seeing the girl's face, Sora's heart began pounding against his chest, he didn't know which thing to focus on first, the fact that his heart was beating again, or the fact that the girl was a teenage version of his mom. She looked like his mom, her blue hair was messy, and her eyes seemed more tired, like she hadn't slept in a week but the masked figure was his mom, only she looked more like him only a few years older.

Suddenly Donna appeared, and Sora noticed the dollmaker beside him was a teenager as well, Angie was holding a box of medical supplies looking like she was in a daze. Sora was silent, doing his best to stay focused as even if it was a dream, his mom needed him. He'd figure out the question of why mom was in the village, and how she knew Donna once things were better, as he grabbed bloody gauges, and bottles of foul-smelling liquid from the dollmaker, as Donna was almost done sealing and cleaning Aqua's wound.

—-

After a few minutes, Aqua's wound was fixed, and Sora and Donna started to breathe again, Sora didn't know what happened but he was at least happy that this version of his mother was safe. She looked like he remembered her, except her hair was messy, and not clean, and her corset was replaced with a blue jacket, black baggy pants, and wool brown fingerless gloves that looked more fitted for working than being a keyblade master. Donna was also different, as she had a pink apron, and her hair wasn't held back, she seemed happier than how she looked hiding in the veil, even the massive thing on her face didn't seem like it mattered to her.

Aqua immediately stood up, grabbing Sora, and Donna's arms as she went over to her favorite rocking chair, making Sora wonder even more what was happening. Did Mom live in the village before she had him, or why didn't Donna make a comment about her, or did Angie not shout about him looking like his mom?

Donna rushed into the kitchen, returning a second later with three cups of tea, and a bottle of painkillers, Sora looked at her hands as he grabbed the tray to help her out, she had the same wedding ring that he had removed from his new arm, it was a black diamond with a blue frame. Donna nodded to Sora as she silently kissed Aqua on the cheek, proceeding to grab Angie sitting on a couch with her fingers tightly holding the doll. Sora quietly handed the teens their tea, as he sat on the steps that lead to the second floor of the mansion, softly taking a sip of tea, ready to hear the newest wave of insanity that was about to follow the fact that he saw Donna kiss his mom.

"So, I guess we should start with the beginning or is there anything you'd like to know?" Aqua said looking over at Sora, she knew this day would come, but didn't think it would have happened until Sora was older than a teenager, let alone at a time when Mother Miranda was still alive. It made her sad to see Sora like this. His eyes looked like Sapphires, but they didn't shine like they did during their stay at the Master's castle or the festival at Disney Town. He had Donna's right arm, meaning her battle against Terra had kept him alive, but the price was even greater than she could have imagined.

"How is this possible, just why did you tell me? You must have lived in this village, the fact that you're in a relationship with Donna! Is Terra even my father, or am I even human? Just tell me what to do, I feel like my chest is about to explode again, and I don't even know whose heart is in my chest." Sora let out, looking at the teens, as Aqua took a breath.

"I guess the short version is you are mine, and Donna's son. We made you with the powers of the mold, and my magic that the keyblade had given me, the spells called holy, and esuna. Terra was never your father and only played along to help you cope with us leaving the village and Donna. You see Sora, we had lived in the village for six years before Terra, Ventus, and the Masters, I had hoped your memories would have returned when I took you with me to find Terra and Ven. But I guess you never remembered, and your death just buried any chance of us meeting until today." Aqua declared standing up from the chair, grabbing a photobook from the table next to her, handing it over to her son.

Sora gently took the book, his eyes widened, as hot black tears hit the carpet, pictures of him with his mom, and mom. Angie, and him playing cards, a picture of Grandpa Orizont, and their faces. Everyone was happy, even though the village was cruel, they smiled, laughed, and felt peaceful. Sora looked at his mom's hand that had replaced his discarded one, Sora knew at that moment, that she had offered up her arm to give him a new arm, she gave him her heart, to feel, to vent, to understand that she truly loved them, and that she died to let him continue.

"You gave me your heart, your arm, everything, just so I could live!" Sora said, running off of the stairs to embrace the dollmaker, to show his mother the love that she needed. Donna's arms gently pulled Sora into her, and Aqua joined in, as the next part of the story was gonna be the hardest part for Sora to hear.

"Sora, I died the same day you died!" Aqua let out, holding her son tightly, she knew this was the hardest thing for Sora to face, and the hardest thing for her to accept, knowing that she wasn't able to return to Donna normally, to help and watch Sora grow as the family that they promised her father they would be.

"Mom! What do you mean you died, you're still in the realm of darkness, right? Xehanort sent me here to get strong to save you, this isn't funny." Sora choked out, as she pulled himself from his parents, he could feel Donna's heart pounding as Aqua grabbed him, pulling him into her chest, Sora whimpered, as he listened for a heartbeat to come from her chest. He heard nothing, she wasn't a nobody like him, she had emotions, but she was truly dead.

"How!" Sora whispered, as he held his mother, as Donna put her arm on his shoulder, and Sora waited for his mom to speak. He had spent ten years waiting for her to return, for him to save her, to kill Xehanort and live happily. But now he had felt weaker than ever, he had just found his mom Donna again and had lost her despite gaining her heart, and more. But the fact that he had lost his blueberry mom since the beginning of his life on Destiny Island. He didn't know what to do but waited for her words. He needed to know that he had made an impact in saving her on that fateful day, that his life still had meaning, or if he should jump off that cursed waterfall that took Aunt Claudia, and the rest of his family.

"That moment when Xehanort summoned the portal to the realm of darkness, you had stopped him from killing me with your right arm! I'm guessing you had passed out or started going in and out of consciousness even with the mold saving and trying to fix you. I was hit with his keyblade in the heart and started to bleed out, me and Terra fell into the darkness, where we fought, I had won, forcing Terra to return to the light, but I was too weak to heal myself, or move. All of my strength, and my magic were meaningless since my molded body could keep up with my injuries, our healing factor wasn't like Alcina or Ethan Winters, we could keep going, but in the end, I died alone in the Realm of Darkness. I could form a nobody since my heart and body were nothing but mold, it had been mold since I died the first time protecting you from Miranda all those years ago." Aqua said, tears began running down her face, as Donna handed her wife, a tissue, taking a breath, ready to tell her son about the ritual they did as a family to the black gods, and the goddess of light, Kay.

Sora felt Donna's heart sink deeper into his chest, learning the one thing he never wanted to hear in his life. His parents were dead, and his life had no meaning, all of those years of regret, torment, and agony were for nothing. How could he have been so blind to that idea, surely his brain would have thought hey Mom is dead, so start remembering the past or moving on.

Before Sora could delve deeper into his dark thoughts, he felt a hand slap his face, Sora was in awe at the hand that was pressed against his cheek, Donna had slapped him.

"Sora, I know you're thinking of dark thoughts, I can see it in your eyes. Listen to me, I know this is a big deal, I felt the same thing when my family died, when Orizont died. So, please let us explain the reason for how this meeting is possible before you start to break down and feel like your life is shit." Donna said, removing her right hand from her son's face, and looking over to Aqua who was holding Angie softly.

"Ok, I'll hear you out, after everything you've said so far, I could understand despite not liking what I hear." Sora let out, grabbing Angie, like she was a support animal, wanting to laugh for a second, it was working to calm him down.

"Sora, years ago, Aqua and I made a deal with the dark gods that Miranda worshiped, and even the goddess of light in rumor. We offered up our blood and chanted our voices till we couldn't do more. We let any gods connect our spirits to the village, to the mold, so that even in death, our family would be together. I died years ago and found out it worked, but my body, its desire to know that you were safe, that it became an adult to wait for you. Aqua came later, and we lived here, till the day we'd see you.

The reason you are here now is that my right arm is a part of you, the same as my heart, my cadou, you are tied to us, so you are in between. You are half-human, so you died human, but with enough mold to keep us connected like a hive mind. I know that we missed out on so many years with you, but now in death, our family shall continue again." Donna said, taking a sip of her tea, as she looked at Sora, he held Angie, running towards her and Aqua embraced them, with a soft smile forming on his face.

"Mom thank you for making this possible, I don't know what we're gonna do next but I know we will do it today, no more suffering, and no longer will we be broken, today is the day House Beneviento and Kizuna will bloom into the best dead family this village has ever seen!" Sora shouted as he flashed his mom's a giant grin that made the family feel the most alive they had in years.
