So @our-happygirl500-fan left a very nice comment with some questions (that I was all to happy to answer) so I figured I’d share them with you all too! I’ll split the individual questions and answers up so it’s more like a Q&A thing. ~<3
Q:I just had a thought Vanitas was hit with sleep last chapter so Aqua didn't straight up attack or try to kill him so that means Sora and Ventus probably told her about Vanitas and how he's not the replica that attacked them when they woke Ventus up. What was that conversation like?
A: There probably wasn’t enough time between saving Aqua and Ven for Sora (and/or Ven) to explain the whole replica thing to Aqua. The sleep spell was more of a reflexive shot than intentional. The combined information of: not attacking, dangerous, and holding someone (hostage?) lead to the ‘incapasatate as fast as possible’ option. Then Sora (and Ven) could calm everyone down and explain the whole Replica Van vs Vani thing.
The keyblade wielder’s first intentions would be to get the ‘hostage’ (Cole) away from the ‘bad guy’. So Sora/Ven would have time to explain things before someone smacked Vani with a keyblade (or magic).
Q:When did Sora or Ven explain everything, like right after Monstropolis to explain that he found out about Ven's heart in him or did he just leave everything to the last minute.
A: Sora probably did mention Vani and Cole to Riku, Mickey, and Yen Sid the next time they went to the mysterious tower after the monster world. Or he may have called Riku+Mickey to tell them to not attack Vani and/or help him and Cole if they needed it.
Q:Also I'm curious about Ven's thoughts on the Vanitas Replica is it hate because he's acting like Vanitas used to or is it sadness over the fact that he knows how much Vanitas replica could change?
A: Ven probably has mixed feelings about ~Replivan~ (snort no XD) *Replica Van*. He’s probably worried what he’ll do, because he knows what Vani was capable of, but he’s also sad that Replica Van had to exist and how horrible it must be to exist like that (as a copy of a broken heart that was in enough pain in the first place). He’d probably feel more sympathy and want to help more than he’d hate him right off the bat, since *Ven*.
Q:Also does the Replica Vanitas know it's a replica and what does it think about the real Vanitas
A: Replica Van knows he’s a Replica. And, a lot like how Repliku started, he thinks he’s better, the ‘perfected’ Vanitas. Xehanort told him that Vani failed and abandoned the organization. So he sees himself as stronger and better than his ‘original’.
But that’s something for later~ :}c
Thank you very much for the questions! And thank you all for being so patient and supportive! I’m so happy you all are enjoying my story so much! \ ;v; / The next chapter should be out tonight or tomorrow! Thank you for waiting so patiently!
