[On Destiny Islands, Xehanort wakes up with a tear running down his face.]
- Xehanort: "I never really thought about who I was."
[A robed figure approaches Xehanort.]
- Xehanort: "Not until I began to wonder who others were."
[The scene moves to the classroom in Scala ad Caelum.]
- Xehanort: "Day after day, I spend my time with the same classmates in the same classroom. The days are peaceful and a little boring, but they're also familiar and comfortable."
[The screen turns black.]
- Xehanort: "Even so, my new life is just like the old."
[The scene goes back to the Destiny Islands, with Xehanort entering a Corridor of Darkness.]
- Xehanort: "A different world, but with the same days playing out over and over again. I left the island behind to come here, and yet..."
[The scene moves to Scala ad Caelum, where Xehanort sits on a bench and Eraqus walks up and joins him.]
- Xehanort: "Maybe it's not about the place. Maybe it's about me... ...and how I engage with others. How we influence one another and the world around us."
- Xehanort: "Maybe that's what shapes our hearts and who we are...and who we will become."
[The scene moves to Wonderland, where Xehanort stand leaning against a tree.]
- Xehanort: "All kinds of things can influence the growth of a heart. Change can come from anywhere, from the smallest, simplest thing. From light, or from darkness."
- Eraqus: "They should be here by now."
- <Party member>: "What? YOU'RE late all the time."
- Eraqus: "Fashionably late!"
- <Party member>: "Says you!"
- Eraqus: "Hey, there's an art to my—"
- Xehanort: "Shh. We're being watched."
- Eraqus: "It's about time they showed up!"
- Eraqus: "Agh!"
- Xehanort: "What is it?"
- <Party member>: "What's wrong?"
[Eraqus points to a pair of eyes in a tree, and the Cheshire Cat appears.]
- Cheshire Cat: "♪'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves...♪"
- <Party member>: "Where did—?"
- Xehanort: "Who are you?"
- Cheshire Cat: "A cheshire cat, if you please. Or if you don't."
- Eraqus: "A cat? Man, you scared me!"
- Cheshire Cat: "Hmm...there's no point waiting around for your friends to arrive."
- Xehanort: "How did you know we're waiting for our friends?"
- Cheshire Cat: "Mmm... I'll never tell."
- Eraqus: "Can you help us? Do you know where they are?"
- Cheshire Cat: "Why, they're under lock... And, of course, key, too."
- Xehanort, Eraqus, and <Party member>: "!"
- Xehanort: "What!? Where?"
- Cheshire Cat: "Exactly? What or where?"
[The Cheshire Cat disappears.]
- Eraqus: "Hey, wait!"
- <Party member>: "So what's the plan?"
- Xehanort: "Well, we don't have much to go off of."
- Eraqus: "But we have to do something! Start looking for— Agh!"
[The Cheshire Cat's head appears in a different tree.]
- Cheshire Cat: "Or just wait. The answer will be here rather soon."
[The Cheshire Cat disappears again.]
- Eraqus: "Is he really gone this time...?"
- <Party member>: "What did he mean anyway?"
- Xehanort: "Beats me."
- Xehanort: "Ah, that might be our answer."
[Three Playing Cards surround the trio.]
- <Party member>: "What now?"
- Ace of Spades: "More intruders?! It's not good to cause a ruckus in Her Majesty's kingdom, you know."
- Eraqus: "We're just looking for our friends."
- Three of Spades: "Not that that would matter."
- Two of Spades: "We'd best seize them."
- Eraqus: "Hey, listen to me!"
- ???: "Hurry!"
[The Ace of Hearts walks up.]
- Ace of Hearts: "The trial's about to begin!"
- Three of Spades: "But we spotted some suspicious—"
- Ace of Hearts: "No time for that! If you're late, you'll lose your heads!"
[The Playing Cards run off.]
- Eraqus: "So...that's it?"
- <Party member>: "I guess we're off the hook."
- Xehanort: "For now. But I'm not so sure about the others."
- <Party member>: "What do you mean?"
- Xehanort: ""More intruders," he said— which means he must've run into people who looked like us before."
- Eraqus: "That's it!"
- Eraqus: "The cat said our friends were under lock and key, and those soldiers were talking about a trial. That's gotta be where they are."
- <Party member>: "Wait, a trial? For what?"
- Xehanort: ""I don't know. Seems like this worlds has its own weird set of rules."
- <Party member>: "At least now we know where to go."
- Eraqus: "Then what are we waiting for?"
