It would be preferable if someone could just give me a heart but that seems to be outside the capabilities of most individuals both in my universe and others.
For how it works, that's simple enough. In my universe an individual is composed of three things: the Heart, the body, and the mind. Creatures created out of Darkness called Heartless hunger for the Hearts of people and even entire Worlds. When they take it from a World, it is lost. When they take it from a person, the Heart becomes corrupted by Darkness and transforms into a Heartless itself.
If the will of the mind and body left behind is strong enough, than it creates something called a Nobody. Most of the time their body becomes twisted into lesser creatures. On occasion, however, the body remains looking human. Those Nobodies can remember how it felt to have a Heart and can remember their past. However, they do not truly feel and are just hollow shells missing a vital part of themselves. That is what I am.
I am volunteering myself for it because I have been lead to believe something strange is happening. Another Nobody has somehow managed to retrieve his heart, at least so I think, but does not know how this came to be. Coincidentally, there is something wrong with my body. I need someone who knows about hearts. I believe it is just the natural accumulation of Darkness inside of me, but I don't want to overlook anything.
