Actually, Vanitas not only Ven's darkness but also half of his heart ?
Exactly, maybe not exactly half (the broken off part we see in Ven's station isn't the half of it), but the heart of Vanitas was a part of Ven's heart before, yes.
One could say Vanitas's heart "evolved" out of a cut-off-part from Ventus's heart.
In essence MX created a heart out of another heart.
