Preparing to kill them, Demyx summons a huge wave of water; however, Donald freezes it right above him. The ice collapses and crushes Demyx. Fading, Demyx meekly begs "Roxas" to save him from fading away. Sora begins to question if Nobodies are truly emotionless as both Axel and Demyx have just shown emotion when they couldn't have been faking.
Elsewhere, Riku reveals to Kairi why he is in Ansem's form. Back when they fought, Roxas was too strong for him, so he had to tap into the lingering power Ansem left in his heart. For now, he's stuck this way. | ||||
