Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days2009

[Roxas and Xaldin arrive in Beast's Castle]

Xaldin:
Hmph, still as dark and empty as ever. It's practically a cave. A fitting home for a beast.

Roxas:
The castle's master?

Xaldin:
You've seen him haven't you? Every inch a monster.

Roxas:
So you've done a little exploring here on your own, then.

Xaldin:
Yes... I suspect it was some kind of spell that left him in that state.

Roxas:
A spell?

Xaldin:
The data we've collected suggests he was human, originally. The exact sequence of events is unclear, but it was a spell that forced him to live as that... thing.

Roxas:
Wow... That can't be fun.

Xaldin:
We're here to analyze, not to sympathize.
