"......Light and Darkness are 2 sides of the same coin. You think light to be better than darkness. You believe darkness to be evil. Every heart, and every world has darkness as well as light. Imagine, if you will, a sun dial. The light of the sun casts a shadow on the dial. Too much light or too much darkness ruin the effect. Same as too little of either."

"You may not like your existence, but it may be best to learn how to take control of it, instead of letting it have power over you."

*He listens to Silax speak. Her voice is soothing, and her metaphors paint pictures in his mind. She could very easily run an AM radio show back in his world.*

*For a few moments after she finishes speaking, the two stand in silence.*

"... People keep saying that. Light's not inherently good, and Darkness isn't inherently evil." *He sighs.*

"I've seen barely any evidence to corroborate that. There's no faceless light-aligned army of monsters destroying worlds. There's no..." *He pauses.*

"I've met a friendly Heartless. Two, actually. And Fiora was definitely doing evil with her light."

"At the same time, though, they seem like outliers. It seems like Darkness trends hard evil, and..." *He breathes in.* "I'm scared. I don't wanna be like Sunset, Maleficent, or any of the others. I don't wanna hurt people."

*His shoulders slump. He hasn't let himself be vulnerable like this since waking up in his old bed.*

"The witch is evil by nature. Born to cause trouble even without her knowledge of other worlds. You've seen how she treated even those she considered 'family'. The girl had a chance to do good but chose evil in the end."

*She turned to Darkdo and sighed.*

"I can explain the two for quite a long time. However it could be better if you experienced it yourself. Darkness corrupts very easily, and is more obvious. But think about how subtle light's corruption can be. You believe darkness to just be evil. Does that mean you will attack your friends who use it? Eradicate them so darkness doesn't have a chance? ....Remove the darkness from every child's heart?"

*She stopped to let Darkdo ponder it before continuing.*

"There is a place where you can answer these questions and more. Look for the sea of dead keys in a desolate world. If you truly wish to understand, seek that place out."

*She then stopped again, noticing Darkdo's vulnerability.*

"I apologize. As I am without a heart, it is harder to empathize and understand the emotions of others. Darkness can be scary... But will you let it win control over you? Will you let it hurt your friends?"
Helen
*How subtle light's corruption can be. He had never considered light a potentially corrupting force, and it being a subtle one would only make it more insidious.*

*He begins to rethink some things. Fiora was corrupted by light. Was his Other similarly corrupted? Telling him to... That was out of character for them. Was that from self-hate, or something more?*

*What about Louis' crew? They were blinded by their friendship with Sunset. Was that light corruption to?*

*A sea of dead keys in a desolate world... Probably dead Keyblades. He didn't know such a place existed.*

"Don't apologize. You... Thank you. I..." *He takes a few deep breaths. Too many thoughts are running around in his head. One thing at a time.*

"If I can help it, no. I won't let the darkness, mine or anyone else's, cause more harm."

"After I help the others defeat Pira, I'm gonna look for this 'Sea of Dead Keys'. If it has answers... Maybe I can figure shit out." *He clenches a gloved fist, determined.*
