[she's sitting in one of the quiet rooms, up to her elbows in glitter, probably best not to ask]
Hallo! I'm the Doctor. [she scrunches her nose] Sorry if that's awkward for some people. [she'd deal with that later]
But! Well! That was a bit of a question, wasn't it? What will make us happy. I mean, avoiding the existentiality of it because that is a broad spectrum requiring much deep thought and lots of poor decision making skills--
There are a lot of choices, and I don't know how to choose.
A lab would be nice. More labs. All the labs. A pool. Love a good pool. Good for barbeques and catching your falling wife from a fifty foot drop. ... er... that might be awkward too. Sorry. Plants. Could always use more of those. Double rooms well-- I'd rather be able to stay up as late as I like.
But clocks! Now, clocks are intriguing. What does that mean? Does it mean a room with clocks? Does it mean clocks throughout the train? And what kind of clocks? Wall clocks? Grandfather Clocks? Kicksey-Winseys? I had a Kicksey-Winsey once made by ...Bloody Stupid Johnson, I think is name was. Never did tell the time but every hour on the hour it would hunt you down and give you a boot in the rear. A great way to get things done if you get settled in one particular task.
Oh but I like art, and I love games.
D'you think I can choose all of them?
I think we deserve all of them.
What do you think?

[And grinning about it too.]
It's a pretty interesting place if you don't mind a little craziness. ...Or, OK, a lot of craziness. Just watch out for Heartless if you do make it there. I think they've been mostly cleared out of that world, but it's hard to tell.

About the only good think about them is that they're stupid; they can't really think, only act on instinct like wild animals. Unfortunately, that instinct is to make more Heartless, which means attacking people and ripping out their hearts so those hearts will be consumed by darkness. So you can see why having them around is a bad thing.

[a faint smile]
There's got to be a way to help them, though, isn't there? Is finding their hearts possible?

[Lea sighs slightly; clearly this isn't the first time he's had to explain this.]
'Heartless' is actually kind of a misnomer; they basically are the hearts, or at least what's left of them. What's left behind is... another thing entirely.
See, with most people, if their heart is taken, the rest of them just fades away since there's nothing holding them to the Realm of Light any more. But if a person's heart and will were strong enough, sometimes the body and soul that were left behind can stick around and create what's called a Nobody; that's with a capital 'N', by the way. Unlike Heartless, Nobodies can think, though between you and me, the weaker ones are dumb enough to be mostly useless without someone directing them.
Nobodies are a whole barrel of weird on their own, but suffice to say that only the strongest Nobodies retain their memories and something close to their original form. The rest of them just look like empty, grayish-white husks.
With Heartless, though... counter intuitive as it might sound, the kindest thing you can do for them is to destroy them with a weapon called a Keyblade. Only a Keyblade can purify and release the hearts. Destroy them any other way, and the hearts are still dark; they'll be out of your hair for the time being, yeah, but the hearts will just reform into new Heartless a little later.
With people that left behind a Nobody, if both the Heartless and Nobody are destroyed- for the Nobody at least, it doesn't matter how- there's a chance that the whole person might be recompleted. For people who didn't leave behind Nobodies though.... I don't know. They might go back to being people if their Heartless is destroyed, or they might just... move on.
