  Summary

  The Light defined the Darkness. Ventus defined Vanitas in the present just as he did in the past, which was what allowed Vanitas to exist as an individual in the first place.

  The Keyblade War would never end as things currently stood, Darkness and Light always standing in opposition to one another. Ventus had seen proof of that.

  But what if Vanitas could see proof of that?

  Or, Ventus does something reckless and awakens Vanitas while they're still slumbering in Sora's heart.
