(Context: I personally think that soras dad goes missing between bbs and the start of 1, particularly after Kairi arrives)
But anyway Riku and Kairi driving off the school bullies after sora loses his dad.
Also Riku breaking a kids nose after they blame Kairi for it (this is not the first time they’ve started a fight over this)
Wakka tidus and selphie can be present (or not) as u see fit. Maybe this is when the six of them become friends?? Tidus connecting with sora over their lost parents??? Wakka trying to mediate??? Selphie causing additional chaos????
Also just a little bit of warmth coming from ven, who’s usually quiet, and has a similar, and stil recent, memory of loss in his own heart
