They race out of the castle and back to Traverse Town. They gather with Leon, Aerith,
and Yuffie in the Small House in the Third District
Leon: Tell me what happened.
They recount the events of Hollow Bastion
Leon: So the darkness is flowing out of that Keyhole...
Aerith: No wonder there are more and more Heartless everywhere. The
only way to stop them is—
Sora (holding up his Keyblade): Seal the Keyhole,
right?
Leon: Maybe. But no one knows what will happen once it’s sealed.
Sora (concerned): Well, we can’t just stay here. We have
to do something. I’ve got a friend back there.
Leon: That’s right. You have one more friend to worry about. Riku’s
Keyblade must have been born of the captive princesses’ hearts—just like that Keyhole
you saw.
He looks up at Kairi
Leon: Of course, without Kairi’s heart, it remained incomplete. Once
that Keyblade was destroyed, the princesses’ hearts should have been freed. Don’t worry,
Sora. If anyone can save your friend, you can.
