"I hope so..." I say, unsure myself. When Mephiles goes to check on Michael and Ventus' condition, he sees they're fine on the outside, but once he peers at their hearts, he finds that they're struggling to fight the darkness within themselves. In fact, a faint, yet visible dark aura envelopes the two as he investigates their conditions.

Mephiles decides to keep this to himself as there is very loud knocking at the door, almost ominous for some reason.
