Somehow I get the feeling she might've like...said something about that then?
Like "hey, Sora, I met someone inside your heart. Pretty weird, isn't it?" or so...
She tells Sora in KH1 that they've been "through a lot together", but never mentions meeting another entity. I don't think that's something she'd hide.
Like I said, I'm not saying it's true, just more of a "what if" scenario.
I'm sure Kairi would have mentioned something to Sora about meeting a person inside of him after she came out of her coma
Touche.
Ventus' heart was fractured and asleep at the time, so I doubt there was any real interaction between them (I also think it would be weird if there was and Kairi just never mentioned it? But then again, they're pulling the same thing with Mickey/Aqua lol).
Good point, but still, Kairi did meet Aqua and Mickey when she was very young at Radiant Garden back in
Birth by Sleep.
I just don't know what it would bring to the table. The Mickey/Aqua thing, while straining believabilty, at least has the extra purpose of explaining how they know where Aqua is. What does a hypothetical Kairi/Ven thing accomplish? We (and the characters) already know Ven is inside Sora.
I don't know, just speculating, that's all. It's more of a "what if" kind of thing, as opposed to a "did this actually happen or not" kind of thing.
Easiest way to have Kairi semi-interact with a character and pretend she's developed in sorts of relationships to anyone
No, seriously, I don't see much reason as to why they should've met.
I never said there was a reason at all, I just asked what if.
What if, keep that in mind.
She seems to have been pretty aware. I'm pretty sure we're meant to take her ghost-like appearances as actually being her.
When Sora references seeing her Grandma's story, Kairi goes "That's right. We were together" and she says "We made it this far by sticking together." So I think we can take that as being her being aware of everything that was going on with Sora (she even warns him when Rikunort is about to strike).
Aware of Ven tho... again I don't think so. It's heart was pretty broken and dormant.
Then again, what happened to Ventus' heart when Sora stabbed himself with the Key of People's Hearts back in KH1?
Maybe somehow Ventus had saw Kairi, but didn't say anything to her. He probably wouldn't have been able to speak to her, or he felt he shouldn't. I'm surprised when Sora went to Castle Oblivion in Chain of Memories, that Ventus didn't do anything like lead Sora to the chamber Ventus's body is at, or give Sora the feeling of familiarity like he does with Roxas. Maybe Ventus just wants to remain hidden and not found. Or since Ventus's heart is sleeping, he can't give Sora feelings or couldn't talk to Kairi. Who knows?
Maybe when Sora stabbed himself with the Key of People's Hearts back in KH1, Ventus' heart left to become a part of Roxas, who knows?
You already have the answer in your own statement. ;D
Ventus could not do all these things because his heart was still injured and sleeping during the times of KH 1, CoM, Days & KH 2. Coma patients tend to be not very chatty or give other people feelings/hints or whatever.
He was busy recuperating from his wounds so there was zero contact with Kairi, Sora or anyone else for that matter.
The only one who made (very short) contact with Ventus' heart during the time of Days was Roxas after the final battle with Xion and that was also "only" to unseal Ven's Keyblade granting Roxas the dual-wield ability.
Ventus' heart itself began only to stir during the events of Dream Drop Distance, not earlier.
Okay. But still, nearly a decade of slow healing, blimey.
Which would make you think she would be an excellent character to expand upon and show more often; having the crazy unique experience of being inside the heart of her best friend/love interest on his first adventure, while he was searching for her heart/body and having their other best friend turn on him over it; but no. That's not interesting enough to make her character develop out of at all.
Seriously, she's so underused that I completely forgot that happened.
Yeah, I want to see Kairi get her chance in the action in KHIII.
