Somehow this isn’t discussed enough but I never let this go unnoticed.
Kairi starts off with this complete arbitrary trail of thought upon gazing the mural, so when Sora catches the same thought as hers, she gives him this mesmerized look.
Like she can’t believe he recalls her grandmother’s stories– or that he listens when she rambles about it, or that he could be so quick to catch on her thoughts. Like completing each other’s sentences.
Now, we know Sora is the biggest empathizer there is, so really this shouldn’t be all that suprising to grasp, but to Kairi, it is. Not because she thinks it to be something unexpected coming from him, but that her values are valued.
She’s probably lived off thinking that her grandmother’s stories were just that: stories– tales that don’t hold much significance even though she cherishes them as if they were her lasting memories of her grandma and her life back home.
Maybe her stories were heard, but not listened to, so she thought.
I noticed that a few people were doing lots of ideas about the lanterns in Tangled. So I gave it a go as well. I gathered all the cheesiness I could muster. I hope you guys like it.
EDIT (01/07/18) : I changed kairi’s dialogue a bit on page 1 and redid the lanterns in page 7.
