Up in Flames (Joker/Crystal/Heart no Kuni no Alice)

Prologue: A Message from Nobody...

Hello, readers. Welcome to my humble home. I would like to tell you a bit about Myself, if you don't mind listening.

My name... Has been long forgotten. I am a shadow within a shadow, nobody knows I'm there.

My soul was brutally ripped from me, split in two, then placed in two seperate bodies, which neither were my original.

I am a Role Holder for the strange and mysterious Wonderland, and even I have secrets.

I am different. Instead of clocks, inside of my bodies' chests are beating hearts. I am irreplacible, but only if both halves of me ar to die. I'm not sure what would happen if both were killed, nor would I like to find out.

Everyone has forgotten me. It's like my existance has been erased from the minds of everyone else.

I... AM ALONE... But It doesn't bother me. I am alone, as have I always been. I will always have myself, though.

Thank you for caring enough about me to listen.

Sincerely, Nobody...
