Ice cream, a soft frozen food made with sweetened and flavored milk fat. A treat that is popular amongst children and adults. A sweet treat shared by lovers, friends, and family alike. A magical treat that chased the blues away. A magical treat that made you feel happiness.
Zexion stood in front of the candy shop in Twilight Town. Remembering when he was little, a Somebody, Ienzo, would go to the shop in Radiant Garden with Ansem and buy an ice cream to eat. Lord Ansem always used Ienzo as an excuse to take a break from his work to get sea salt ice cream and the young boy didn’t mind. He liked spending time with his father figure and tasting the salty but sweet ice cream.
From what he remembered he liked it.
Zexion looked around to make sure there was no one around and went into the shop.
“Hello, welcome.” An older husky woman said, giving him a bright smile.
The teen blushed awkwardly and looked away shyly, he wasn’t used to people talking to him outside the castle, mostly because he was supposed to be hidden from the public. He quickly looked around, avoiding the cookies and candy around him before finding a small freezer that had all sorts of ice cream. Zexion spotted the one he wanted, the sky blue popsicle. He took it and went to the counter to pay for it. When he left the shop he had a memory of holding hands with Ansem while they walked back home to the castle, eating their ice creams. The teen knew he couldn’t do that anymore, there was no one here for him to walk with or to hold hands.
The Nobody then sighed. He supposed he was too old for such things, or didn’t deserved it rather. Nobodies had no right to little moments of happiness such as those, only Somebodies could.
But… He looked at the cold treat. He really wanted to experience that little bit of happiness again.
A chiming bell was heard throughout the town, signalling the new hour.
“Maybe I can eat this by the bell tower..?” He thought to himself as he headed towards that destination.
Civilians walked by him, one in particular caught his eye. A little boy holding his mother’s hand as they walked down the sidewalk. Zexion could’ve sworn that he saw his younger self and his deceased mother, but it was only his imagination. He watched them walk away before heading to the tower. He found a staircase that led up to the tower.
When he climbed he saw Master Ansem walk in front of him before turning around and reached his arm back, “Need help catching up Ienzo?”
Zexion’s eyes widened as he reached for the man’s hand, but he disappeared. The Nobody’s mind played tricks on him again. He just sighed and continued up the stairs till he reached the top. The view from the tower was rather nice, a perfect place to watch the sunset.
He walked to the ledge and sat down, letting his feet dangle over. He felt small again, like when he was Ienzo sitting on a bench with Ansem.
Now was the time he was waiting for. The taste of happiness.
He unwrapped his ice cream from the wrapper, revealing slightly melted ice cream from not being eaten right away. Zexion moved it towards his mouth, he wanted to remember this emotion, and took a bite.
…
…
…
He spit it out, it was nothing but a salty flavor. He looked at the ice cream frustrated as hot tears streamed down his face.
Disgusting!
He then threw the popsicle as hard as he could off of the tower and gave out a scream of frustration. When he was Ienzo, he loved eating that ice cream.
Zexion heaved and sobbed some more.
Why couldn’t he enjoy it now? Why didn’t it give him happiness?
It only made him feel terrible.
“Oh…” The teen mumbled as he realized, “I cannot enjoy it because I am a Nobody… Of course.” He then stood up from the ledge as his tears stopped, “Nobodies can’t enjoy human pleasures. That is one of the reasons we strive for a heart…” He wiped his tears away nonchalantly.
“Yes… That’s it…”
Zexion then lifted his hand up to summon a dark vortex so he could return to the castle and left the clock tower behind with the bitter ice cream.
Overhead map of Twilight Town pieced together using KH3′s out of bounds Data Greeting glitch and a KH2 map viewer. None of the KH2 maps had the entire town rendered at once so I had to put some on top of others to get the whole thing.
It’s the gang! oh, it’s so good to see them again! The Beautiful Sunset town + the Unreal Engine Just by the few shots we got, Twilight Town is gonna look SO breathtaking!!
