I just found a neat parallel~
"Together, let's save Kairi!"
"Together, let's save Naminé!"
Sora rejects Riku's offer in KH1 b/c he doesn't want to hurt the puppet.
"Riku" reject's Sora's offer in CoM...but this time HE'S the puppet... Sora still doesn't want to hurt the puppet.🙃

Axel strangely makes it sound as though Vexen should be happy that both his "memories and existence will be put to an end here." On the contrary, Vexen pleads with him, but to his horror—and Sora's pity—Axel kills Vexen to keep him from spilling all the beans about Naminé.

...if he continues to fall further into the illusions of his memory. Vexen warns Sora that following those "memories" of Naminé will only lead him into the trap set by Marluxia. But just as Sora's about to inquire about this person, Axel cuts them off—with his chakram.

There's no way Sora could trust someone like this, someone who's hurt his & Riku's friendship, who's hurt Riku that way. Sora doesn't know his own heart? Nonsense! He knows exactly what his heart wants—Riku's AND Naminé's safety—he's not gonna let this liar hinder him from that.

In the images are the outline of the Chain of Events showing how Sora and Repliku got their respective star charms, and when those charms became connected in their memory to the *promise*.

For both Sora and Repliku, Naminé used objects that were conveniently on hand to change

The *Promise* ~ Some thoughts about meteor shower memory, its potential basis in reality (w/o going into CoM novel)
In addition to Sora & Repliku sharing a memory:
(clipping some points below)
~ The *promise* is one Marluxia & Naminé /have known about/. (see scene analysis above)

Despite this rapid turn of events, the cunning Marluxia has a plan already in mind, something he seems to have known about and has been sitting on. He stalks over to Naminé, glumly sitting alone, so absorbed in...could it be worry?...that he startles her on touching her shoulder.

They manage to find Maleficent and Belle; Beast arrives shortly after. However, Belle still has some awful things to say (but she doesn't TRULY mean them, right?).
"I don't want to see your face anymore!"
//"Naminé's not the only one who doesn't want to see your face. Me too!"//

After his 2nd fight with Riku, Sora gloomily walks up to F9 as Donald & Goofy exchange concerned looks. Sora wonders aloud at these events: The two both want to save Naminé, right?
"But then, why are we quarreling/fighting?"
They've clashed lots in the past, but this is...hmm...

Elsewhere in the Castle, Naminé is sitting sadly by herself when Axel visits her. From his pointed questions, it seems her sadness is coming from the strife going on between Sora and "Riku." Note again that pushing of blame: It's "all because of Naminé" that this is happening.

Time for another round of the Inconsistency Game! Yay!
Before: Protecting Naminé is the only thing that matters to me.
Sora: But, I matter...
Riku: Pft, yeah right.

After: Sora, I can't believe my feelings don't matter to you! Jerk! (subtext: "You still matter shootgottarunnow")

As Sora is lost in gloomy thoughts, Riku chuckles at him as he instead revels at how great it is to forget things not worth caring about in order to "remember what is truly important (大切な)." And for Riku, that "most important (いちばん大事な) thing" is protecting Naminé.

Unfortunately for Sora, now bewildered (& lacking insight to his own inconsistency) "Riku" won't let him get away w/ his "affront."
"You never gave thought to MY feelings either!"
To add even more emotional pain to the idea of Naminé not caring for him, he says same goes for him.

[That which became, princess of fate.]

After everyone regained their memories now that the curse was done, a very emotional reunion between the three sisters, Naminé, Kairi and Xion finally happened. Daylight, sunset and moonlight.
