Roxas wakes up, brushes his teeth, and runs to catch the school bus. Seriously though, he wakes up and makes his way to The Grey Area, which is essentially the base room from which you will venture out into the rest of the game. You're given a tutorial on how to move, in case anyone is not quite smart enough to guess that it's the D-pad, after which you can move around. Neither [[Xigbar]] nor Saïx has much of interest to say, and [[Larxene]] is just her usual rude self, so talk to Axel to proceed. Roxas is currently locked into the "silent protagonist" cliché, although he does manage to spare a few words. Since when is [[Castle That Never Was#Where Nothing Gathers|Where Nothing Gathers]] called the "Round Room"? Ugh, I hope they're not trying to make that the official English translation, because unlike "Where Nothing Gathers", it sucks as a name. The scene that follows is [[Xion]]'s inauguration, and it reminds Roxas of his. Xemnas seems strangely bored in the latter, but whatever. After a Roxiloquy (look it up in the [[../Glossary|Glossary]]), we begin the game's first proper day...

Not normally known for his generosity, Saïx is nonetheless issuing a week of training missions to break Roxas in gently. How kind. Your first one sees the blond paired up with Axel so that he can learn the really basic stuff. You're treated to a tutorial on saving, and a new entry is added to [[Roxas's Diary]]. You'll typically get a new entry every day, or at least every time you advance the story. Axel, Xion and Zexion have nothing especially useful to tell you, so just talk to Saïx when you're ready to begin the day's exercise. A brief cutscene ensues where Axel quizzes Roxas on a few members' names. I can agree that there's not really much of a chance that we're going to forget Xemnas's name, considering it's an anagram of Mansex <small><snigger></small>.

|guide=''Can't miss it, because it's the mission objective''

You start in the Underground Passage, where you're first given a tutorial on jumping. Your first task is to reach Axel, which requires you to use this newly-explained skill. One camera control tutorial later, you now have to look for a chest. Head out of the chamber into the corridor, and turn left to grab some Munny by attacking the crates. Now follow the only other open path all the way to the northernmost point in this area. On the way, you'll be tutorial'd on barricades. Once you find the chest, Roxas forgets the first rule of gaming: [[w:c:8bittheater:Thief|grab anything that isn't nailed down and on fire]]! Ever the voice of educative reason, Axel tells you to open the chest. You get a tutorial on treasure chests and the backpack, after which you should claim the chest's contents. Mission Complete! Head back to the dark corridor you arrived by. As you pass through the square room with the pillar in the middle, flip the glowing switch for a shortcut, then examine the dark corridor to RTC (Return To the Castle).
