So I've got a bit of a problem. These memories we've been getting showed me there's these creatures I used to deal with called Nobodies. It's weird, but they don't have hearts, but they look human. Most of them. Some are really weird looking gray monsters. There was guys in black coats too that were Nobodies. They were the human kind. I don't get why they looked human but the monster ones didn't. I was good about ignoring the memories until I remembered that I'm apparently one of them??? And it's making me wonder how we can tell if we have hearts in the first place? Not the beating in your chest to keep you alive kind. What's the point of a heart since emotions are chemical reactions? Is not having one okay? My biggest question is: how do I tell my twin that I'm not human and we're not related in a way that won't make them have a complete breakdown???

it sounds more like you're talking about a soul than a heart maybe
the sort of thing that makes you human
separates us from the dogs, i think it's said?
if that's the case then i think it's what you make of it
whether you officially have one or not isn't really anyone's business
except yours i guess
if it upsets you that's a different thing maybe
does it?

[missingache]

No, I really mean a heart.
Nobodies are beings that are just the shell of their former selves without a heart, which is why they try and collect hearts to get theirs back.

It's upsetting to think what I'm feeling is fake, but at the same time it can't be fake since, right?

I think I'm more confused.

[diamant]

it sounds confusing to be fair
but if you're feeling things then i think you're probably okay
assuming you want to feel things
from the sound of it you do
i suppose i just don't see much reason to argue it too much
if you're feeling things and okay with that does it really matter why
whether it's a heart or otherwise

[missingache]

Not really.
I guess in some cultures and religion souls and hearts are interchangeable, but I've always thought the the soul was "who you are" and the heart is "how you feel".
That's just weird because that means Nobodies are just souls without hearts, so I'm happy I can feel things.

It's really depressing to think about people not people able to feel whether they're human or not.

[diamant]

no that does sound painful
if we're going to be fair to them i think that if i couldn't feel anything anymore
i'd be trying to collect hearts too
do you know how it happens to people, that they end up like that

[missingache]

No, I don't remember that part yet, just that they want hearts.

[diamant]

again i don't really blame them
good luck with your twin by the way
i'm not sure what i think of that whole thing myself
about people being related or not because of all of this going on i mean

[missingache]

I think, after talking to all the people here, I don't mind not being related by blood.
He's still my brother.
I'm just worried he won't feel the same, but we'll see.

[diamant]

i mean you do still have all your memories of being twins
maybe it won't change all that much

[missingache]

True.
My twin's just really emotional and he might take this all the wrong way.
