("I didn't want to just forget about you, Sora. I couldn't.")

("Come on, Sora. We made it this far by sticking together. You can't go alone.")

("Take this. It's my lucky charm. Be sure to bring it back to me.")

("Don't ever forget. Wherever you go, I'm always with you.")

Sora's mind filled him with memories of what Kairi said to him before he finally awakened in an unknown area, noticing Beatrice looking hostile towards Elsa and Meili while also holding Subaru's arm. Sora gets his mind back to focus and begins to look around, feeling like he is back on the gummi ship. He gets up and asks Beatrice,

"What is going on?"

"Protecting Betty's Subaru from this threat, I suppose."

"Now come on little one, I'm not a threat anymore."

"I don't believe you!"

Sora looks at Subaru, seeing that he is unsure on how to deal with the situation since Beatrice is not only hostile towards both Elsa and Meili but also overprotective towards her Subaru. Now that she accepted the boy, she is Subaru's contracted spirit.

"You won't hurt Betty's Subaru!"

"Beatrice...they are our allies." Sora spoke which made everyone turn their attention towards the boy, seeing that he finally awakened from his slumber. Elsa smiled and went to pat Sora in the head which only infuriated Beatrice.

"How dare you! Side with these filth, I suppose! You dare side against Betty and Subaru?!"

"I'm not against anyone here Beatrice, you just have to have faith in people, even when it seems like they are a lost cause."

Sora says this while thinking about Cloud, Iago, and Maleficent. In the case of Maleficent, the two are still enemies yet she still chose to help them against the Organization in his second journey. In Cloud's case, he had been against the heroes because he was after something yet he eventually turned towards their side, the side of light because of their encounter and those from Radiant Garden.

And lastly on Iago's case, he was an enemy to the group but after the events of the first journey, he had a change of heart and although he had betrayed them once out of fear of Jafar, he still proved that someone bad could change for the better. This was enough to help him think that Elsa could have a chance at redemption, even if the chances are extremely slim. He looked at Beatrice with determination and continued to speak.

"I know that they have done bad things and you are right to distrust them but I have met people in my life that were once adversaries...that did bad things yet they had a chance to redeem themselves and fight for the light. Elsa has a chance to redeem herself too, even if it is slim she still can change for the better."

"...I suppose..." 

Beatrice looks at Sora with some annoyance and anger but she eventually calms down as she sees just how pure Sora's heart is. She sees that he wants to save everyone and how he sees the good in people like Elsa.
