[Reading Dante's text is like flipping a switch in Sora's head. It's impossible to describe the feeling one gets when seeing one of these memories, but it's like being in two places at once. On the one hand, Sora is aware that, physically, he's in his room, sitting on his bed, staring at his phone. On the other, it's like the memory is playing in front of his eyes like a movie, reliving the experience for half a moment.

Sora sees Dante again, but this time they're on what seems to be the deck of a ship, but this time the other boy is watching him with the utmost contempt. He nearly jumps out of his skin when a creepy, shadowy version of himself pops up, and it startles him out of the vision when he almost falls off the bed.

It's the most intense memory he's had yet, and he doesn't even know what to make of it. Not for the first time, he wonders what he did to Dante in that past life to make him hate him. It's almost frightening to think about. It takes him a long several minutes before he can pick out any part of that to respond to.]

whats a heartless

[darkinferno]

they're monsters

[Why is Sora still talking to him? Dante's a little bit surprised (he'd thought that memory would have been enough to send him packing), but by this point he doesn't care, either.]

born of the darkness in people's hearts

looks to me like you must've had a lot of darkness, huh?

[He has no idea if that part's true or not--after all, he'd summoned that darkness up, he'd shaped it into Sora's form... hadn't he? But he knows it will cut at Sora again, and that's all that's important in this moment.]

[Again, Sora is unsure of how to respond to this. Is it true, that that Heartless from the memory was his darkness? Or is Dante just trying to hurt him? His brain feels like a jumbled mess, and suddenly he feels like he doesn't know anything at all.

His head hurts.

He wants to defend himself, but the icy feeling that's been sitting in the pit of his stomach since his most recent flashback is heavy and cold, and it's hard to think of a response when all you have is text. On the other hand, he probably wouldn't be able to say anything in person, either.]

i dont know

[That's a terrible response. Why did he even respond to begin with if he didn't have anything to say?]

[darkinferno]

you don't know

[Of course Dante's going to latch on to that. Why wouldn't he?]

well maybe you should figure THAT out first before getting bent out of shape that i'm telling you to leave me alone
