Y-Yeah, I remember. I wasn't always his student.

[ he clenches the wayfinder tightly in his hand. ]

Xehanort found me, and started my training. He wanted me to give into the darkness in my heart and use it to fight these monsters he summoned.

[ Heartless. Purebloods. He still has no clue what they are. ]

So he took the darkness out of me. It made a whole other person. My heart couldn't survive without it, and I wouldn't have if Sora's heart hadn't reached out. When he saw I was alive, he took me to stay with master Eraqus.

[ Looking back up at her. ] He didn't just train me. I was treated like I was part of his family. Like Terra and Aqua.

[ There's more to it, but. It's such a long story that it's impossible to explain in one go. ]
