Oh.

[ Ugh. Stuff like "put keys in keyholes," "add light," and "explore and learn" are universal good things in heart games, but if this is a link to something important, I am sure not qualified to be screwing too much with it. But also! Want to know things! That is the good part of heart exploradora! ]

Can you just talk to me about yourself?

I'm Swift. I'm the Swift that exists when all the layers and masks and delusions have been peeled away. I'm the person at the center of this heart.

Seriously, did you want anything? It gets rather boring being stuck in here.

[ Gosh you're prickly even with the layers gone, hahaha. ]

I want to fix things the normal way. A direct line to his real heart's cheating -- plus, the bird's right. I dunno enough to not make a mess.

But hey, I'll be around if you want to peel away the masks and layers and delusions sometime when he's awake.

A sigh. I doubt that'll happen. But all right.

Re: center: the spyglass rooms

I can hope.

[ And in the end, this is the best way to show I've learned a lesson about not making fast judgement calls that end up starting a chain of events that screw people -- people being Jasper, yes -- over. Even though Swift won't remember it when he wakes up. ]

I'm going to go back to looking around and small-time stuff, okay?

Re: center: the spyglass rooms

Go ahead.

What will you do?

Re: center: the spyglass rooms

Bye, Swift.

[ Pulls his hand away from the red panel and steps back, re-evaluating the room with damn if this is the true heart I guess I should look at the rest of it closer in mind. ]

No comment on that narration.

There's four picture windows in this room, two on each side; through each of the windows is a large set of silver and glass scales.

Through the near left window is a scale with multicolored marbles on one side, balanced against . . . blood . . . on the other. Through the near right window is a scale with black marbles on one side, balanced against--a rock and a ruby? on the other. This window has clouded up a bit, and its scale shakes precariously, weighted towards the marbles.

The far left window's scale has a few feathers on one side, with something like coal on the other . . . strangely, it's balanced, although it doesn't look like it should be. It's also a bit smudged. The scale on the far right has clear marbles on one side and painted ones on the other, and it's tilted heavily towards the painted side.

[ I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF THAT MEANS but sure let's stash that for a rainy day when I need to fake-psychoanalyze Swift. AATHER TEAMS BLOOD? DARKNESS VERSUS ROCK? ... feathers versus idk and pre-aather versus aather, yeah, who knows, time to bail with Riku. ]
