Marlena stood with her back to the door; her head hung low and tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry guys…" Lifting her head, she saw hundreds of heartless clawing away, and massive humanoid heartless forming in front of her. "I fight for my friends…" talking to herself, she threw herself at her foes, attacking with all of her might. Slicing through them, she swung her key blade left and right, knocking the heartless away from the pulsing ground, the humanoid heartless battered her with their fists, finally knocking her to the ground…
She opened her eyes to darkness again; she slowly rose from the ground, and saw the stained glass. "Namine?" Marlena asked the darkness, looking around, then a brilliant white light came from only a few feet away from her, trying to block the light, she put a hand over her eyes. Suddenly the light faded, and revealed Namine, "What is it Marlena?" the witch asked, she turned and said, "how hard would it be to hide some memories?" Namine put a hand to her chin and said, "well…it depends on the memory…strong ones I can only mask as another, and while weaker ones I can make people forget. Why?" Marlena hung her head low and said, "my friends will always worry about me while I'm still behind the door. Could you make them forget that I existed?" Namine looked at her, shocked, "Marlena why would you want something like that?" she gave a weak smile and said, "Its not because I don't care about my friends… But I don't want them to worry about me. Also they know that there are other worlds out there too…"
Namine stared off into the darkness and said, "I can do it, but it they might have a small memory, I can't totally hide or destroy a memory, then the heart would collapse, killing the person." Marlena nodded, understanding then said, "All right. I know this will be hard…with my friends forgetting who I am…but its for the best." Namine simply nodded her head, and said, "You know…Sora is in a chamber in Castle Oblivion, getting all of his memories back." This surprised Marlena, "What! Sora's alive?" the witch simply nodded and said, "Ansem was just trying to scare you with his talk of torturing Sora. He's safe." This came a breath of fresh air to Marlena who said, "Namine…" she turned, "could I see Sora?" the witch simply nodded, and held out her hand, which Marlena took, and suddenly they were enveloped in a brilliant white light…
