This releases his, Ventus's{{fact}}, and Kairi's hearts from Sora's body, reviving Kairi, but also completes the Keyhole and casts Sora into the darkness. Unbeknown to anyone, this act also produces Sora and Kairi's unique [[Nobody|Nobodies]], [[Roxas]] and [[Naminé]].{{storylink|Ansem Reports#Secret Ansem Report 10|Secret Ansem Report 10}} The Keyblade itself dissolves, releasing the Princesses' stolen hearts.<ref>'''''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''''', '''Leon''': "That’s right.
