"'''A Fragmentary Passage'''", also referred to as the {{nihongo|"'''Secret Episode'''"|シークレットエピソード|Shīkuretto Episōdo}}, is a secret ending exclusive to ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]''. Unlike other secret endings, "A Fragmentary Passage" is playable, much like the [[Final Episode]], rather than simply watching from the view of a bystander.<ref>'''''{{w|Weekly Famitsu}}'' Vol. 1144''' (11/18/2010); '''Interviewer''': "Will the Secret Episode be different to the Secret Movies we've seen so far?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "In the Secret Episode, you'll actually be able to control characters. I think you'll be able to relish a different kind of surprise to simply watching a movie."

In "A Fragmentary Passage", [[Aqua]] is playable, the main setting being the [[Realm of Darkness]], where Aqua fights several [[Pureblood Heartless]] while wielding [[Eraqus]]'s [[Master's Defender]]. As with the [[Final Episode]], the player's progress with Aqua is carried over; however, unlike with the Final Episode, the player cannot access the World Map due to Aqua being trapped in the Realm of Darkness.
