However, Riku's spirit holds him back, as he tells Kairi to run. Donald and Goofy lead Kairi away, as darkness erupts from the Keyhole. Elsewhere in the castle, Beast sees the darkness. As Donald, Goofy, and Kairi reach the, they notice a single Shadow following them. Kairi recognizes it as Sora, and hugs it, giving Sora back his body.
