Thirteenth

[Lost, as the castle has condemned him to be, Sora slipped from an unknown room to wander the halls. He wears his Paradisa High sweat jacket over a matching tee, which dangle off his frame like a tent. As he wanders he hugs the journal to his chest and rubs his eyes dazedly with his free hand. His voice is groggy and weak- after all, he had been ill before this growing-up business had reared its ugly head.]

...Is everything over now?

[Has been reading up on this kind of stuff!]

All the more reason to be strong, no?

[Fidgetting.]

And if the genes or body are unfit for the gene pool?

[oneasthousand.livejournal.com]

These things are not entirely set in stone. A weak body can still be trained.

[colorlesschild.livejournal.com]

But the genes and the deformed body cannot change.

[oneasthousand.livejournal.com]

They can't change, but there's a certain range of possibilities for each body. Look at these arms.

[Holds them out.]

They're thin, but I can wield a sword with them as well as anybody.

[Not mentioning how he USED to be able to wield a heavy axe, too.]

[He matches his stance, but years of malnourishment made him look much like a toothpick.] But doesn't it make sense to remove faulty genetics from the gene pool?

[oneasthousand.livejournal.com]

If your body isn't strong enough to withstand, that will happen anyway. If you manage to survive, your genes aren't that faulty.

[Eyes dart a bit.] Oh.

[oneasthousand.livejournal.com]

[Looks at him with that ridiculously intense stare of his.]

What?

[colorlesschild.livejournal.com]

[Shrink!] Nothing.

[oneasthousand.livejournal.com]

[Oh well. Starts to turn around, in the direction he was originally going.]

Mark my words. Your life is in your hands.

[Aaand starts to walk away!]

[He'll let him because oh god that is a TERRIFYING realization.]
