Only without the space in the brackets.
In the long run, I agree, but that's exactly why Sora
1) chose his real Memories at the end - because he didn't want a lie,
and
2) Made the promise with Namine at the end, despite it not coming true, that they'll have it all for real when he woke up.
He saw what could be between them - and he wanted it.
It's called character development. Had he stayed the same, he'd have been a crap of a character. Like Kairi.
No. They remembered it because it was Namine that made them remember it. Them giving it so much importance was their own choices. And why the hell not? Look at what Sora remembered of Namine. It's not like she left him remembering her verbally abusing him or hitting him or something. He remembered promising he'd protect her until the end of time. It wasn't so much forcing importance on an irrelevant Memory, so much as pointing Sora's attention to said Memories.
Uh, no. Sora hardly looked for Riku because of his promise to Kairi - which, despite Sora later on showing he meant he promised Kairi he'd bring Riku to her (which is in fact further proof of my claim Sora is a Kairi/Riku shipper, which really kills SoKai right from the get go in Destiny Islands), was to Kairi herself that he'd be home.
Had Sora cared about his friends and what he promised to them, he'd have stayed with Kairi since that's what Riku told him to do. Take care of her.
Sora heard that, nodded, ran off to shake hands with Kairi, and ran off.
Arguably, yes, you can say he was taking care of Kairi by bringing her boyfriend (in Sora's mind at least) back. However, Riku is Sora's best friend. Sora said as much himself. Sora was back, and then he left - to find Riku. Riku's name wasn't mentioned in the scene where Sora and Kairi parted at the end of KH1.
Also, Sora bringing Riku back was always eternally in Sora's mind. Kairi never really cared. But that's straying from the point which is Sora debate, not Kairi.
Oh, I never denied she was - at least - at some point a friend. But that can be said because Sora's the kind of guy to make friends quickly. He even tried reaching out to Xemnas at the end. But for someone they wanted to sell as his most important person, they failed miserably.
Kairi'd either be Aqua, or Namine. Depending on whether they wanted her to be a fighter or a proper Princess character.
#1 argument as to why Namine never replaced Kairi in Sora's Memories. She started from being another girl with Kairi still there, and then went on creating new Memories Kairi never could've been a part of (even if we say Kairi used to draw, we know for a fact she couldn't have been there on the night of the Promise to Namine, since the Meteor Shower is the night Kairi reached the Islands to begin with. Sora didn't find her until the following morning).
She's the only Square PoH. Hence, related to Disney... at least by title. She was never there with the rest of them, after all. They fought without her.
And to be involved, she'd have to be concscious like in KH2, only kidnapped for a proper plot reason like in KH1. Namely - like Namine was in CoM. It's that simple.
