- [Riku's story - Reverse / Rebirth]
- King Mickey Mouse: Your darkness belongs to you, just the same way your light does. Up till now, I thought darkness was something that should never exist. Then I spent time with you and changed my mind. The road you chose - I didn't know. Light and dark, back to back. With you, I think they might meet in a way nobody's seen before. Wonder where that road leads. I'd like to see myself.
- Riku: Hm?
- King Mickey Mouse: I'd like to walk the road with ya'.
- Riku: Eh heh.
- [They shake on it]
- Riku: Your majesty, I'm really flattered. I don't know what to say.
- King Mickey Mouse: Gosh, Riku. Ya' know, you don't have to call me that now. We're pals.
- Riku: Fair enough, Mickey.
- [the two exit Castle Oblivion and walk along a grassy path, finding two roads and Diz]
- Riku: What are you making me choose now?
- DiZ: Between the road to light and the road to darkness.
- Riku: Neither suits me. I'm taking the middle road.
- DiZ: Do you mean the twilight road to nightfall?
- Riku: No. It's the road to dawn.
- Marluxia: In this place, to find is to lose, and to lose is to find. That is the way in Castle Oblivion.
- [Riku's story -Reverse/Rebirth]
- Ansem: [as a disembodied voice] Here blanketed by the darkness, sleep is safety. Sleep is eternal. But...
- [a mysterious card appears in front of Riku]
- Riku: What's this?
- Ansem: It is a door to the truth. Take it and your sleep ends as you take your first step toward the truth. But know this: the truth will bring you pain. Will you still go? Their is no return to the security of sleep.
- Riku: [Grabs the card] This seemed like a boring place to take a nap anyway.
- Sora: Oh! It was when I turned into a Heartless! Wait. That happened... in a castle?
- Donald Duck: Aww... You forgot that? 'Cause I remember perfectly.
- Sora: Then what's it called?
- Donald Duck: That's easy! It was...
- [Donald doesn't remember]
- Donald Duck: Jiminy, help me... Is it in your journal?
- Jiminy Cricket: Every word! I finished the first volume right before we got to this castle. Now then, if I can just find it... Oh, here we go! Let's have a look...
- [Jiminy sees that his journal is suddenly blank]
- Jiminy Cricket: Oh! How could it be?
- Goofy: What's the matter?
- Jiminy Cricket: All my entries--- They're gone! Every page is blank!
- Donald Duck: What'll we do?
