Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', [[Kairi]] wrote a letter to Sora. She wrote it the day before Roxas's mind made contact with Kairi's. She put it in the water at the coast of the mainland, explaining to her friend, [[Selphie]], that she started to remember Sora's name.

==Story==
==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
On the fourth day, after [[Roxas]] makes contact with [[Kairi]]'s heart, she goes to the shore and releases a letter in a bottle into the surf. As it drifts away, she tells [[Selphie]] she wrote it to the boy she can't remember, telling him she'd find him one day.
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] are stranded in the [[Dark Meridian]] and receive a letter in a bottle from [[Kairi]]. Riku takes it out of the bottle, looks over it quickly, and says to Sora, "I think it's for you." Sora then reads it aloud.


After defeating [[Xemnas]], [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] are stranded at the [[Dark Margin]]. While sitting on the shore, they find the bottle washed up on the shore. Riku takes out the letter, looks it over, and realizing its for Sora, hands it over to him. Sora reads the letter out loud, and the Door to Light appears before them. Sora stands up and offers a hand to Riku, who gets to his feet. They walk into the light and suddenly find themselves falling through the sky over [[Destiny Islands]]. They splash down into the water, and they are met at the shore by Kairi, along with [[Donald Duck]], [[Goofy]], and [[Mickey Mouse]].
:"''Thinking of you, wherever you are.<br />''
:''We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.''<br />
:''Now I will step forward to realize this wish.''<br />
:''And who knows:''<br />
:''starting a new journey may not be so hard,''<br />
:''or maybe it has already begun.''<br />
:''There are many worlds, but they share the same sky —''<br />
:''one sky, one destiny.''"
:''-Kairi''


After this, the "Door to Light" appears before them. Sora stands up and turns to Riku, who has an injured leg. "We'll go together," he says, and holds out a hand. "Yeah," Riku replies, and gets up. They walk through the light and are suddenly falling through the sky over [[Destiny Islands]]. They crash into the water and are greeted by Kairi herself.

==Trivia==
==Other appearances==
*Strangely enough, if the player waits at the main menu screen of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' long enough, a small cutscene starts playing in which this poem is shown in with "''[[Hikari]]''"'s instrumental orchestral version playing as background music. The same poem is shown when one waits long enough at the main menu screen of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', only this time, an orchestrated version of "[[Passion]]" is used as the background music. This shows some level of continuity planning for the sequel on Square's part. The letter also appears at the front of the game manual for ''Kingdom Hearts'', again showing that maybe the letter is a sort of slogan verse for the series.
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
If the player waits at the main menu screen of ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', a cutscene starts playing with the letter's content shown, while "''[[Hikari]]''"'s instrumental orchestral version playing in the background before transitioning to the opening cinematic.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
If the player waits at the main menu screen of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', a cutscene starts playing with the letter's content shown, while an orchestrated version of "''[[Passion]]''" playing in the background before transitioning to the opening cinematic.
