You're not worthless, Mira. If you ever question how worthwhile you are, remember that your worth isn't based on how people benefit from you or your actions. Though if you need that something.
[ Vanitas nudges her again. Something a little less mean than grabbing her face. ]
I was thinking about asking you this for a while - to Bond with me, that is. The Coven said that having Bonds could repair my heart over time. It wouldn't be too different from what Sora did for Ventus all these years. So the Bonds that I choose are because those are the type of people I want to become a part of me. Brand new pieces of my heart to be forever linked with the person who gave it to me.
[ Surely Mira should know the importance of what he's saying. To anyone else it may sound selfish, like Vanitas is using people. It isn't that, of course. The matter of his fractured heart is something that is very sensitive to him. He's not going to just allow anyone to forge that kind of connection with him. ]
Mira. You're important. You matter and you matter, specifically, to me. I wouldn't be this version of me if it hadn't been for you. So don't ever think you're just a weapon. You're much more than that.
[ He huffs, embarrassed and going to change the subject. Vanitas rubs the back of his neck to make that emotion go away. ]
So let me tell you something... Hades and I aren't too different and if you break it off? Right now because of this? In his mind that will only prove the lies that he tells himself to be true. It's taken me months to get to this point after being the same way for years. Hades has been this way for eons.
[ Van tilts his head a little. ]
So it's not going to be easy. He's got to want it, Mira. You can't do that for him. If you break it off, then it has to be for you. It can't be because of him.
