Why me?
The thought ran through my mind, alongside How is this possible and What is happening?
Why am I a Shadow? A Heartless? How is something like that even possible? What the hell happened that something like this was possible?
One moment, I had been...
I blinked.
The last thing I remember, I was... on my computer? Yes... That sounded right.
But... there's something else there, after that, hidden by a fog in my memory. Trying to recall it leaves me with a vague feeling, and strengthens that loss within me.
What had happened?
Where am I, now?
Actually, where am I, anyway? What did I know about this place? It was dark, stormy and cold, there were tall buildings everywhere and... that's it.
From my little vantage point, I could see that some of these buildings appeared to have pipes extending through. Sort of... steampunk-esque.
And nowhere immediately familiar to me. I could be anywhere.
Worse, I could be literally anywhere, considering that Heartless were from Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts was, by nature, a massive multi-crossover...
And... what did that mean for me? Was I now... somehow, inside of Kingdom Hearts as a cosmology?
If I was, then I'd have to ask when I was, in addition to where... Birth by Sleep, Dream Drop Distance? Somewhere in between, outside of both?
Was Xehanort still around? Had he even been born yet?
I held my claw in front of my eyes.
If I was a Heartless, how was I thinking? It was Nobodies that thought and planned, and Heartless that acted upon base instinct. Did it mean that I would hunger for Hearts? What about the Darkness, would it consume me? Was I going to end up like any other Shadow, doomed to nothing but primal hunger for the Hearts of others?
Could I use the power of Darkness? Could I travel the Worlds?
So many questions, so little answers.
Perhaps I should wait until the rain stops before I head out.
I need to start finding some answers, too.
