Darkness.
I had surrendered to it; there was no escape.
I knew this; as soon as I realized what I had done, I knew I would be consumed with no hope of escape.
I had let Maleficent trick me into thinking that my friends had left me.
I had let her open my heart to the darkness.
I had let her convince me I was alone, when...
In all truth...
I wasn't.
I had true friends.
It took me forever to realize it.
Friendship is forever.
There is always hope and light when you have friendship.
Unfortunately, I had realized this too late.
I am now in Kingdom Hearts,
Struggling to close the door.
Hordes, swarms, and masses of Heartless surround me,
Ready to consume my heart the instant I yield,
Or if I do not,
Consume it by force.
I know I can't fight them all,
But rather me than anyone else.
-...?-
Of course I'm scared.
But I have caused everyone enough pain.
This is where I belong.
After all, I'm part of the darkness now.
On the other side of this door is my rival and best friend Sora.
He's helping to close me into Kingdom Hearts.
He didn't realize I was inside, and I know he isn't imprisoning me purposely, but that's okay.
Just as long as we shut this door.
-......?-
Inside, where I am, is the darkness, the Heartless.
They'll hurt more people if we don't close it.
And I know one of those people would be Kairi.
I can't protect her anymore; I realized this after I had realized my heart's consumption.
The only way I can help her, or anyone now, is to seal this place.
-.........?-
The crack in the door is too narrow to escape through.
So I am closing myself in.
As long as we shut this door.
I hope she'll remember me.
And my last act of heroism-
Laying my heart, freedom, and life on the line-
All for her.
-............?-
I know I'll never see any of my friends again.
But that's the price I pay for giving in, for not trusting in my friends, in myself.
Darkside Heartless are rising behind me, getting ready to consume my vulnerable heart, or what's left of it.
Before the door is closed, I have one final request of you, Sora.
"Take care of her."
Sora nodded.
The door was closed.
I never saw the light again.
