Scherzo 🌠 Re:Mind to 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝒮𝑜𝓇𝒶さんのイラストまとめ

"Courage..." Sora thinks this over, and the thought gives him new resolve *cue puffed-out chest*. (Say, wasn't there another little puppet who felt trapped but then was encouraged to be brave so he could— Hey, it's a cute parallel, let me have my fun!)

Shortly after, Naminé humanely closes Repliku's unseeing eyes and moves him into a comfier position. She expresses deep regret over the hurt she caused him (WILL YOU STOP WITH THE GUILT TRIP T.T)
For some ~mysterious~ reason, Goofy says Sora is "nice" (やさしい-marked for later~)

Repliku had likewise claimed to "remember" what was most important to him (post Riku-memory-rewrite), i.e. protecting Naminé, after having forgotten the comparatively "unimportant" things.

Later, Sora affirms, "The important (大事な) feelings/thoughts/wishes (想い) etched in the

Among those memories Sora feels are etched in his heart is the *promise* he made to her. As he places his hand over his HEART/CHEST/NECKLACE *ahem*, he recalls, "I promised, 'I'll protect you so you don't cry,' and that memory remains."
Instead, "If you smile it'd make me happy."

To my Eng brain—with the knowledge that 大切な人 on its own can be translated depending on context into phrases like "special someone" and "precious one," or even, according to SENA, "the person I love most" (in Hercules' case)—"your 大切な人" almost sounds like that

Larxene's severity fades away in the final moments when she's fading away (but don't worry, Larxene, you'll get to reunite with all your besties in Organization Rehash soon enough...).
Sora and co. turn their attention to Naminé, seated on the floor next to the fallen Repliku.

Sora's weak plea to "Riku" goes unheeded—his opponent is set on "winning." He readies Soul Eater, deaf even to Naminé's plea to stop.
"Vanish, fake!!"
Naminé tightens momentarily as tho internally pained...and then she MAKES him stop.
A flash—Repliku collapses, expressionless.

Sora & "Riku" clash for a 4th time, & once more the latter loses the battle, collapsing to the ground. His Keyblade dismissed, Sora moves in to reach out to him, only to be blasted back by "Riku" who intends to finish the job. Naminé watches in terror as he stalks over to Sora.

Sora can't help but wonder how he could've forgotten "that girl/kid (あの子)" if she's his "most important person (いちばん大切な人)." Naminé is about to explain when a rough voice cuts in—Riku.
"Let ME tell/instruct you instead."
[Axel: "Would you like me to tell/instruct you?"]

In the halls of white, Sora finds the girl in white again.
"Naminé!" he calls. "My (俺の) important person (大切な人)... It's not you, right?"
"No," she responds sadly, "Your (ソラの) 大切な人, the one you were always together with… It's not me. It's her/that person (あの人)."
