As they wait for Cid to modify their ship, Sora stares at the ground sadly
Donald: Sora!
Goofy: Now, just remember what Donald said to ya: no frowning, no sad
faces.
Sora: How can you be so cheerful? There’s still no sign of your king.
Aren’t you worried?
Donald: Aw, phooey.
Goofy: The king told us to go out and find the key bearer, and we
found you. So as long as we stick together, it’ll all work out okay. Ya just gotta
believe in yourself, that’s all.
Sora: Just believe...
Sora closes his eyes and hears a voice
Kairi: I believe in you.
Sora finds himself flying toward a great shining light, which envelops everything.
Slowly, a room began to fade in around him, filled with bookshelves and stained glass
windows. He floats in the air, watching
Sora: Where am I?
He sees an old woman sitting on a chair under a long staircase. A young girl with red
hair runs up to the woman, who smiles down at her
Grandmother: Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of
light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted to keep
it for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts. The darkness spread,
swallowing the light and many people’s hearts. It covered everything, and the world
disappeared. But small fragments of light survived...in the hearts of children. With
these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world. It’s the world we live in
now. But the true light sleeps, deep within the darkness. That’s why the worlds are
still scattered, divided from each other. But someday, a door to the innermost darkness
will open. And the true light will return. So, listen, child. Even in the deepest
darkness, there will always be a light to guide you. Believe in the light, and the
darkness will never defeat you. Your heart will shine with its power and push the
darkness away. Do you understand, Kairi?
Sora blinks and the woman disappears
Sora: Kairi!?
He scans the room, seeing no one for a second. Blinking again, he is back floating in
the air, seeing the 4 year-old Kairi, who looks around. He bends forward, trying to
reach her, but she disappears and he is thrown back to reality
Sora (shocked): Huh?
Goofy: What’s the matter?
Sora: Um, nothing. Kairi... Did you call me?
