"I would like to see it as well. Apparently I become adept at splitting people into their component parts and keeping them alive and aware while doing so, which is of itself a feat." And one he will have to figure out how to replicate, else how will he ever figure out how to put them back together? "Repairing the damage to a broken being should be simpler than taking them apart and keeping them intelligent.. but getting that information may prove ... difficult. I've no doubt the train will provide it for me if I ask, but those from Radiant Garden will be very much opposed to me gaining any of that knowledge again."
After all, through that work worlds died.
He's been debating of late if it might be worth it anyway. It's not just him at stake anymore.
That was almost more important. It wasn't just for him. "If any question it, and I can restore your heart and your memories, if any complain, tell them it's easier to fight for a cause when you can remember why you started fighting to begin with, and who you're fighting for." His gaze shifts away. It's good advice but he can't apply it himself and he knows it. "I don't know this personally, but I have heard it many times and observed it as well. People fight harder when there's a face in their memory worth fighting for. And I think you and I have more than one face to fight for, if we could... ever recall it."
Xehanort's tone is morose. "I can only guess how you feel about the matter in truth. But I know how I feel, and I'm certain.. if I knew my friends, my family. Their faces, their voices. The world of my origin, the place I belong, then I would have countless new reasons to want it back. Maybe in time I do remember, and somehow the death of entire worlds is part of that goal. Perhaps not knowing simply drives me mad one day. But I like to think in the end, through all of it, these researches and papers and tormented lives and countless vessels, I'm just trying to reclaim what was lost. That.. is more understandable, I think. It's something we can all understand, and want."
