[In the early hours of the morning, what people will see over their SFCs is a very large room that takes on the appearance of an art studio. Despite the many artistic supplies spread in various locations, the room does house a single man in it. This man is sitting in front of a canvas that doesn't have much on it, yet he's staring very intently at the canvas before setting the brush down. What can be seen is a painting of three hearts; one white, one black, and one gray. After a few moments of staring at his creation, he picks up the SFC which was already switched on prior to him painting this odd picture, the expression on his face rather neutral. Not happy or sad, simply neutral.]

Do call me curious dear Vatheon, but this is something I have been pondering for some time now. Why should we celebrate holidays we don't celebrate back home? Certainly some have been for the amusement of it, but take for instance this one we currently celebrated. For those who don't believe in love, a holiday entirely dedicated to it is seen as ridiculous. But that can be said of all people who don't believe in certain holidays, doesn't it?

Though this holiday especially can also arouse questions within us, particularly to matters of the heart as that seems to be its theme. A few I can think of are: Is there such a thing as true happiness or love? Is the feeling truly there or not? Can the supposed happiness and love gained with another who said they felt the same remain always? Or will it fade away like sand being washed away by the ocean?

Just because something won't last, that doesn't mean it wasn't real or important.

And why do you believe that? You're not giving a very good reason as to the why.

Because I decided to believe it.

The things I feel, the connections I have with people... They make me me. That's important, at least to me.

So you're saying that you let people control who you are and your actions as a person? That's a pretty sad life.

[Roxas frowns sharply, offended by the interpretation.]

That's not it at all.

You... react to someone and they react to you, and you learn things about yourself. And- it changes both of you.

[Angelo sees that sharp frown and can hear the tone of Roxas's voice.]

I'm no stranger to reactions, but learning about yourself is not something I quite picked up from meeting with others.
