Sora enters the Secret Place and walks through an underground tunnel, with roots
lining the walls. He reaches a room made of walled boulders with chalk drawings scrawled
on them. The only light is from a small hole in the ceiling. Sora sees the last mushroom
near a wooden board in the wall and plucks it from the ground. Behind the mushroom is an
old drawing of Kairi and Sora that brings memories flooding back to him. He kneels on
the ground, placing a hand on the drawing of Kairi with a soft smile. His mind flashes
back to the two of them as 5 year olds when they drew each other on the walls. Sora
sits, picking up a rock and begins carving. He stops and stares at his work. He is
giving Kairi a paopu fruit. Suddenly, he hears a noise behind him and stands up
swiftly
Sora: Wh-who’s there?
?????: I’ve come to see the door to this world.
Sora: Huh?
?????: This world has been connected.
Sora: Wh-What are you talking about?
?????: Tied to the darkness... Soon to be completely eclipsed.
Sora: Well, whoever you are, stop freaking me out like this.
Huh?
He notices a hooded figure standing in the shadows. An X is emblazoned upon its
chest
Sora: Wh-Where did you come from?
?????: You do not yet know what lies beyond the door.
Sora: So, you’re from another world!
?????: There is so very much to learn. You understand so little.
Sora (glaring): Oh, yeah? Well, you’ll see. I’m gonna
get out and learn what’s out there!
?????: A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand
nothing.
Sora looks toward the board in the wall. It resembles a door, but with no lock or
doorknob. As Sora turns back to the figure in the shadows, it has disappeared.
