There is much mystery surrounding Xemnas' activity in the Chamber of Repose and the conversations that Xigbar claimed went on in there as he eavesdropped on them. We've been unsure whether Aqua's armor actually spoke back or if someone else might have been there.
Just a small theory regarding something I just thought of: we know that Young Xehanort brought Xemnas and Ansem, Seeker of Darkness to the present via time travel during Dream Drop Distance. While we speak often here on this forum about their presence at the end of the game and what it means, I'm focusing here on their resulting absence caused by them traveling to the future with Young Xehanort.
Ansem SOD worked alone for the most part during Kingdom Hearts 1, so I can't imagine it was likely for anyone to notice that he was missing.
Xemnas, however, led the Organization, so he was surrounded by others who would have noticed that he was gone, which leads me to this question and theory: What if the Chamber of Repose was not only the place Xemnas sat to recover his memories as Master Xehanort and Terra, but also where he locked himself into (and isolate himself from the other members) in order to meet Young Xehanort and travel into the future with him to the time of DDD? That would certainly explain who Xigbar heard talking back to Xemnas when he was eavesdropping on him, which is the story he later recalled to Zexion in that KH2 FM scene.
It almost seems so obvious now that I think of it, that I almost feel like I must be missing something (and certainly I apologize if this explanation has already been discussed or deemed common knowledge!) So what does everyone think: does it seem plausible or am I leaving something out?
