Is that right... So you don't care at all for all of those that were left behind. All of the souls that had been attached to yours, connected with yours... They mean nothing to you now that you have a different life and a different set of friends?

[ No different than Ventus then. This is a little disappointing, but not unexpected. Vanitas knows that the majority of people won't care... ]

What about your other fragments that do care about such things? That can feel the loss? It's not impossible that they can sense these things, after all.

[ Vanitas can. He can and he does. Fragments of memory, of who he used to be, come and go. Forgotten as soon as they reappear. Just because Ventus doesn't want any of that back doesn't mean that Vanitas shares the same sentiment. He wants to be whole, wants that life back.
