 <!--insert second paragraph containing analysis of piece- music theory. Expand better/later.-->The slower nature of this piece creates a well-balanced combination of emotions, one that is spot-on for the character in which it is aptly named. Elements of [[Roxas (track)|Roxas's theme]] can be heard in the harmony; supporting the melody with a moving eighth note passage throughout the piece. The melody follows a simply rhythmic form and is diatonic. The melody mainly follows a step-wise manner, with no disturbing dissonances or intervals.

+"Aqua -Mirror Illusion-", in contrast, is a faster-paced, horrific rendition of "Aqua", befitting the [[phantom Aqua]]. It lasts three minutes and 39 seconds in ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''. This rendition adds in a countermelody of piano.
+"Aqua -Dark Dive-" is a more bombastic rendition that lasts four minutes in ''Kingdom Hearts III''. As with "Aqua -Mirror Illusion-", this piece is a faster rendition dominated by more strings and brass. The main melody is led by a female vocalist, with a second vocalist providing a countermelody. A reference to [[Sora (track)|Sora's theme]] is present during the song.
