Ansem Report. 8

There is no doubt that the Heartless are deeply connected to the people's

hearts. Further study may unravel both their motivations and the mysteries

shrouding the heart.

As a start, I have built a device that artificially creates Heartless. By

recreating the conditions that spawn the Heartless naturally, I should be able

to produce them artificially. This device is the culmination of all my

research thus far. The machine's test run successfully created a Heartless.

This may be a step toward creating a heart from nothing. The artificially and

naturally created Heartless showed nearly identical traits. But the two types

remain distinct for the purpose of the experiment. So, I will mark the ones

that are created artificially.
