Words echo down a dark and lonely road
Riku: Sora... Kairi... I’m sorry...
Riku walks alone in the darkness
Riku: Is this the afterworld?
He stumbles forward and his form shimmers
Riku: I’m not ready. Not yet. Not until I see Sora and Kairi one last
time...
He hears a voice in the abyss
?????: Riku, can you hear me? I’ll be there soon.
He whirls around
Riku: Who is that?
?????: I have the other Keyblade—the one that belongs to this
world.
Riku looks around, confused
?????: I’ve been trying to get through to you, but the darkness in
your heart kept me away.
Riku: Who are you? What’s happened to me?
?????: Your heart won the battle against the darkness, but it was too
late for your body. That’s why you’re here—in this place of darkness where hearts are
gathered.
Riku: So what do I do?
He looks ahead down the winding road
?????: The Door of Darkness will open soon, but it’s a door we can’t
enter. It has to be closed from both sides. To do this, you need two keys and two
hearts. Maybe you’re here for the same reason I am. Maybe it was fate.
Riku: Fate, huh? You seem to know everything, don’t you? Then tell
me: Are Sora and Kairi okay?
An image of Sora runs toward him out of the darkness
?????: Don’t you feel the echoes of their hearts? You already know
the answer. Look inside your own heart.
Riku opens his eyes
Riku: Okay.
