True Light
At one point, near the middle of the game, Sora has a Flashback involving Kairi and her grandmother. The scene is believed to have taken place in the library, whithin the Hollow Bastion. Sora listens as Kairi's Grandmother tells the story of how darkness first made it's way into the hearts of the people. Available in this section is the script of that story.

"Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted to keep it for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts. The darkness spread, swallowing the light and many people's hearts. It covered everything, and the world disappeared.

"But small fragments of light survived...in the hearts of children. With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world. It's the world we live in now. But the true light sleeps, deep within the darkness. That's why the worlds are still scattered, divided from each other.

"But someday, a door to the innermost darkness will open. And the true light will return. So, listen, child. Even in the deepest darkness, there will always be a light to guide you. Believe in the light, and the darkness will never defeat you. Your heart will shine with its power and push the darkness away.

"Do you understand, Kairi? "
