[Video] Chess

[geniustheveil]

[The heartless have been getting to quite a few people lately. It's hard to tell at first whether Ami is one of them. She's inside, seated at a small table and playing chess against herself. Masters of the game would note the arrangement of the board as a very famous end game maneuver. She's testing it again, noting its weaknesses and the ways to defend against it.

It's keeping her mind off the shadows, and the things that always seem to not-quite-be-there when she looks. It's keeping her mind off the doubts, the worries, the insecurities. But there's very little of her usual gentle smile despite the seeming calm. She has a perhaps not-so-incongruous question.]

What are the things you do to relax and unwind your mind?

No. [There's something closed about her own expression, too, in the disapproval she feels for King Mickey's choices.] Nothing.

There won't be help from the light or the darkness. We can only help ourselves.

I can understand that clearly. if someone seems wrong, one would go about solving the problem yourself.

[Even though the heartless may be affecting her, that core of searching and seeking out the truth and knowledge hasn't changed. Ami nods.]

Good luck to us both, then.

[Naoto gives a reassuring nod and smile. She liked talking to you.]

Indeed, good luck. I hope you find the truth that you want.
