Quest No. 41
Before quest
Xehanort: "I took the first step of my long journey."
[Xehanort is seen walking through a Corridor of Darkness.]
Xehanort: "As I walked along the path, darkness whispered to me from all around. Though I couldn't understand what it said, it stirred emotions deep within my heart."
Xehanort: "These emotions manifested in my mind as words. Was this someone else's darkness? Their emotions? Hatred, jealousy, doubt—things I'd never felt before."
Xehanort: "I didn't know it at the time, but these belonged to people I had yet to meet. Some were even directed at me. Would I be able to handle that? Being the focus of someone's darkness? Someone's heart?"
Xehanort: "That was the moment something began to grow inside my own heart."
Xehanort: "I'd soon learn that in keeping to this path, this corridor of darkness, no heart could help but become drenched in darkness."
Xehanort: "Regardless of where these foul emotions were coming from, they gave me comfort. They helped me realize that my heart could still feel. But I had no idea what lay ahead. Something more terrifying than darkness—emptiness."
[The scene moves to Wonderland, where Xehanort's party finishes off some Heartless.]
Tweedledum & Tweedledee: "How d'ye do and shake hands! How d'ya do and shake hands!"
Eraqus: "Tweedledum and Tweedledee...?"
Tweedledum & Tweedledee: "How d'ye do and shake hands! How d'ya do and shake hands!"
Xehanort: "C'mon, let's go."
Tweedledum: "Oh, you can't go yet."
Xehanort: "But we're in a hurry."
Tweedledum & Tweedledee: "Why?"
Eraqus: "We're looking into something."
Tweedledum: "Oh, you're curious! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"
Tweedledee: "The oysters were curious too, weren't they?"
Tweedledum: "Aye, and you remember what happened to them..."
Tweedledum & Tweedledee: "Poor things!"
Eraqus: "What happened to the oysters?"
Xehanort: "Eraqus, don't."
Tweedledee: "Oh, you wouldn't be interested."
Eraqus: "Try me."
Tweedledum: "No, no. You're in much too much of a hurry."
Eraqus: "I can spare a little time."
Tweedledum & Tweedledee: "You can? Well..."
Xehanort: "Eraqus..."
Tweedledum & Tweedledee: ""The Walrus and the Carpenter"!"
<Party member>: "What was that about?"
Eraqus: "So the moral of the story is that curiosity leads to danger?"
<Party member>: "That's pretty grim."
Eraqus: "Yeah. Too bad we'll never know what happened to "Father William.""
<Party member>: "Actually, I'm okay with that. There's something weird about this place."
Eraqus: "That's an understatement."
Xehanort: "A warning for the curious, huh? Maybe they were trying to warn Eraqus."
Eraqus: "Me? Look who's talking!"
Xehanort: "What? You're the one who just HAD to stop and listen."
Eraqus: "Says the one who just HAD to leave home and see what else was out there."
<Party member>: "You guys are both curious. End of story."
Eraqus: "And what's wrong with that? Curiosity can give you the courage to dive right into any situation, even if you have no idea what's gonna happen."
Xehanort: "Here's hoping we don't dive right into a pool of darkness."
