To reinforce the dreamlike setting of the Dive to the Heart, [[Sora]], [[Roxas]], and [[Ventus]] each reach it by falling into an ocean. However, instead of drowning, they find that they can breathe, and land upon an ocean floor which erupts into doves, revealing the Dive to the Heart. In Roxas's case, this first Dive to the Heart is merely a memory of Sora's, and he enters his true dive three days later. The Dive to the Heart is composed of several enormous, illuminated stained-glass pillars known as "Stations", rising from unseen depths. Each Station has a unique shade, depicts a specific set of characters, and has its own specific part in the tutorial. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', there is an additional area of the Dive to the Heart based on [[Destiny Islands]]. The background music, "Dive Into the Heart (Destati)", initially begins quietly and hard to hear, but grows in intensity as Sora or Roxas approaches the final pillar, where they fight a manifestation of the [[darkness]] within them. At the end of their battle with the creature, the Dive to the Heart is consumed by the darkness emanating from it, dragging Sora or Roxas with it, but they either wake up or are rescued. | To reinforce the dreamlike setting of the Dive to the Heart, [[Sora]], [[Roxas]], and [[Ventus]] each reach it by falling into an ocean.

It is here that Ventus comes in contact with the newborn Sora's heart, and his Station is restored. Ventus does not return to the Dive to the Heart until he involuntarily fuses with [[Vanitas]], his pillar changing appearance with the sudden presence of darkness in his heart, and is renamed {{nihongo|"'''{{a|Soul World}}'''"|精神世界|Seishin Sekai}}.<!--WHAT HAPPENS?? ADD PLOT SYNOPSIS HERE--> | ||
Ventus's Station is quite similar to Roxas's, but features a sleeping Ventus without his [[Wayward Wind]] at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], rather than Sora with his [[Kingdom Key]] at Destiny Islands. The inner circle of emblems, which usually contains images of the sleeper's loved ones, only contains a stylized ''fleur-de-lis'', which also appears on the edges of the pillar. When Ventus is fused with Vanitas, Ventus's Station is modified—Vanitas himself now appears opposite Ventus, and both have their [[Keyblades]]. Half of the outer ring of symbols is replaced with the [[Unversed]] emblem representing darkness, while the other half is replaced with the [[Terra's Mark]] emblem representing [[light]]. The two symbols meet in the middle representing the twilight. The field of the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] is now filled with the abandoned Keyblades. The inner circle of emblems is replaced with silhouettes of Keychains for the [[χ-blade]], the Wayward Wind, and the [[Void Gear]]. After Ven defeats Vanitas, his station changes to a form similar to its original appearance, with some modifications. Ventus is now holding the Wayward Wind and wearing both his [[Keyblade Armor]] pauldron and his silver Terra's Mark charm, while the outer circle of emblems is filled with the Terra's Mark emblem and the inner circle of emblems is filled with his friends' [[Wayfinder]]s, possibly signifying that he has regained control of his completed heart. | Ventus's Station is quite similar to Roxas's, but features a sleeping Ventus without his [[Wayward Wind]] at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], rather than Sora with his [[Kingdom Key]] at Destiny Islands.

After bringing the comatose Sora back to the [[Mysterious Tower]], Riku dives into {{nihongo|"'''{{a|Sora's Soul World}}'''"|ソラの精神世界|Sora no Seishin Sekai}}, drifting past memories and various floating Soras. Upon landing, he finds the stained glass window floor consumed by inky darkness, from which emerges the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]]—Sora trapped inside [[Ventus]]'s [[Nightmare]]-possessed [[Keyblade Armor]]. When Riku defeats the Nightmare, the armor shatters, releasing Sora. The darkness envelopes Sora as it dissipates. Riku picks up Sora's dropped Keyblade and uses it to unlock the [[Sleeping Keyhole]] of Sora's heart. | |||

After Riku answers each of their questions, there is another bright flash of light, and Riku finds himself back on the beach, where he sees a message in a bottle drifting ashore. When Riku picks it up, a digitized version of [[Ansem the Wise]] appears, placed inside Sora's heart along with his research data [[Ansem's Code]]. Ansem the Wise reflects upon the strength of Sora's heart and theorizes that Sora may have the power to recreate people long thought lost forever. All Sora needs to do is be himself and follow wherever it is that his heart takes him.
