I thought I was. Beating him destroyed my heart - how can you live without a heart? [Rhetorical question, but still.] But when I got here, Aqua said that I didn't die. She said that I lost my heart, and my body was asleep, waiting for it to come back. I don't really care which one it is, so long as I kept her and Terra safe. That's all that matters.

[No, Isa, Ven's not suicidal. He's just prepared to do what has to be done if he needs to do it. He picks up his drink pouch again, taking a sip and making a face after he swallows.]

That's really sweet. And we have Keyblades to... well, do what we were doing when we met. Me, Aqua, and Terra were fighting those monsters that popped up - they were called the Unversed. Keyblade users protect the worlds and the people in them, and fight the Darkness where it threatens to take over. Sometimes bad things happen because we put ourselves in the line of fire, but I don't think any of us would change our minds about being one.
