But Sora... do you feel like something's missing? Even the slightest bit? But when you were fighting him, did it seem like it was almost there?" Riku leaned forwards somewhat again, gesturing to where they had been fighting earlier.

Biting at his lip, he thought for a minute before giving a slight nod. "I haven't... Well..." he stopped, staring down at the ground and frowning even more. "Ansem hasn't felt any Heartless. I think if either of us did, we would be able to tell." Sora already knew, and while Kairi didn't, there would be no use in hiding it anymore.

"This Paixao place... it should be safe from the Heartless, but why are the Nobody here?"
