Oh its totally sora's dream (or something like it)

Like. Not just a dream the way we think of them, but a dream where it's like, more. Almost like a plane of shared consciousness. And ya basically not fully a dream bc it is being impacted by the world he's actually in, hence why everything looks realistic and not kh style, which is how you would expect him to dream (like in ddd, which was also more than just a dream. But sora was alive and in his own world)

So when i said before that there might be two versions of quadratum, or two planes of existence that we could see, one Alive and one Dead, i would almost compare them to one being a Waking world and one being a Sleeping world. (I dont necessarily mean like in ddd)

Sora is in the sleeping world, or some kind of sleeping/death world (since sleep and death are like one step apart). Or, at least the sora we see in the trailer. Thats him, in his own head, almost. His body is still in crytal as we saw it last, perhaps even in that blended kh/verum rex style from the Remind Secret Episode.

And that would be the realm/plane of existence riku is in. He could still just, find sora, his statue. Asleep. (Like he does at the end of CoM and HERE I GO AGAIN—)

So that huge shift in appearance/style could also just play into the actual plot of sora not being in his real world (the kh world, and stuff adjacent to it ig) and therefore even his dream looking different

Like, him "waking up" obvs isnt him waking up from the crystal stasis.

And (one of the many) reasons i dont say this is ONLY, STRICTLY "Sora's" dream specifically, is bc. Strelitzia is there. Somehow. To some degree. And so, ya, maybe she just has some ability to pop into his dream, assuming she's been in "afterworld quadratum" for a decent while and knows how it works. But if sora's "dream" is somehow some kind of shared space, and that's how strelitzia manages to be there, then i dont wanna completely close off that possibility.

Also maybe the darkside thing is a hint of how sora will be facing his own darkness?

All guesswork ofc.

kh3 spoilers:

This is purely part of my brainrot about the next game. Regarding Sora and Naminé. (links to my other two rambles)

Because— “Thank Naminé.”

Thank Naminé.

I know in-game, they made that note in the journal a year ago. And that since waking up, it hasn’t been that long between Kh2 and Kh3. So for sora to be holding onto that, to keep that in the back of his mind, isn’t completely out of the question.

But if i can clown for a moment—just for a second. In the grand scheme of things, why is sora holding onto that? Why is the /game/ holding onto that? So prevalently?

I’ve spammed about this before but i just have to wonder 😭😭😭

I’m guessing sora wants to thank naminé for helping him with his memories (or at least, telling him the truth after she fucked them up lol).

But like. Aside from just fixing his memories and telling him the truth ig, what else did namine do for sora? or what was she trying to do?

By telling sora the truth about how she had replaced his precious person, she consequently also had to tell him he’d have to remember—figure out—for himself, /who/ his precious person truly /was/ the whole time.

CoM as a whole had the theme/purpose of making Sora question himself and his memories. But naminé’s existence and actions in the story are what really focus this theme. She /embodies/ the purpose of the game: making Sora question who his precious person really is.

So when i think about how “Thank Naminé” has been carried over for so long—in kh2, in recoded, in kh3–

and when i think about CoM and its semi-unaddressed theme of “True Memories”—(oml i’d have to make a whole separate true memories post)

i have to wonder. if sora regains the memories of what naminé told him at the end of CoM. if naminé’s final message to him (plus whatever other factors come into play) are part of what help sora figure out, realize, who his precious person was all along—

if she ends up helping him in this way—

like could that end up being part of what he thanks her for??? i just—thank naminé lingers in the game and it lingers in my mind
