I agree. If this place is forbidden, why did Lauriam go down there? And his timing is impeccable, arriving there at the exact moment Maleficent might have hopped into the ark? Veeeery suspicious.
Maybe that isn't Lauriam?
The two Keyblade wielders seem to be in their teenage years in UX while they are adults by the time they turn into Nobodies,
I mean, it's possible they grew the same way Ienzo grew as Zexion. And we don't know what types of effects the Ark has on the person.
While I don't doubt that Luxu, knowing who they are, would turn them into Nobodies, he didnt have his Keyblade until after KH3, so that couldn't have happened.
Good point, but it's not like he could have used Darkness to make them Nobodies
or this is the moment that Luxigbar tells Xemnas about the Keyblade Legacy and the Superior turns them into Nobodies.
I wonder if this is relevant somehow.
Could just be a callback to KH1.
Of course, but I don't think we can condense his presence there down to just "he doesn't care about rules and is just trying to find his sister." This series of events is way too convenient, and his reaction is suspect.
Exactly. How would he even know of the place? The Thing is exactly the kind of thing I imagine the MoM wouldn't really want the Dandelions to know about.
Now in doing this his body will be torn to shreds
I'd like to propose that this could be a point where he turns into a Nobody. Assuming this is Lauriam, his strong will to keep looking for his sister could cause his body to not perish and immediately create his Nobody. Maleficent goes into a pod, so he decides to do the same thing.
The union leaders will realize Lauriam is missing and try to find him and that will lead them to getting Elrena involved. Ultimately she will use the arc because she will try to find Lauriam.
Makes perfect sense and can see it happening.
I think "forbidden" just mean that the regular Dandelions are not allowed to go inside the tower. It does not apply to the union leaders.
We're even assuming the Union Leaders know of the room's existence. By the way Darkness talks about it, it's as if only the MoM and him know about it. Perhaps not even Luxu nor the Foretellers know about it.
Also, remember that the Ark
is in the real Daybreak Town. Which is another reason as to why ask ourselves how and why does Lauriam know about that place, and again, I insist this may not be Lauriam.
Maleficent's trope is putting people into magical sleep, and Lauriam/Marluxia seems to have learned it from somewhere as well, because he used it on Sora. Perhaps it was from personal experience at the receiving end of it?
Nice observation, but it could be a reference to pollen = flowers.
Now, here is an interesting thought experiment: Let's undo the change Ava made and give the book and the list of names to Strelitzia like they were supposed to go. What happens, what will be different? I seem to have found something revealing, and I want to see if others come to the same conclusion...
Can't say, seeing as how, even though Ava deviated from the MoM's plan, I don't have a doubt in mind that he planned for a scenario where Ava would do that.
