I've been having these weird thoughts lately.... Like, is any of this for real... or not? (opening movie plays, Simple and Clean plays in the background)
The darkness may destroy my body, but it can't touch my heart. My heart will stay with my friends. It'll never die!
Although my heart may be weak, it's not alone. It's grown with each new experience. And it's found a home with all the friends I've made. I've become a part of their heart, just as they've become a part of mine. And if they think of me now and then, if they don't forget me, then our hearts will be one. I don't need a weapon. My friends are my power!
The heart may be weak. And sometimes it may even give in. But I've learned... that deep down there's a light that never goes out!
I know now, without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts, is light!
Kairi, remember what you said before? I'm always with you, too! I'll come back to you. I promise!
Kairi... Kairi's inside me?
It doesn't matter how much we see each other, but how much we think of each other.
Forget it! There's no way you're taking Kairi's heart!
Woah! Don't sneak up on me like that Kairi!
