If someone's hearts been stolen, then, in order to become whole again, their heartless must be defeated and then their nobody must be defeated, right? But, what happens if the nobody is defeated first?
I heard that if the nobody is defeated first, then it fades into darkness. In that case, could the process work in reverse? I know Vexen said in CoM that one cannot come out of darkness of their own volition, but Maleficient did it. Is she special because she has her heart or did she have some special way of coming back?
Also, if the nobody does fade into darkness, what happens if the corresponding heartless is defeated later? What happens to that heart? Could someone please explain this for me?
