* Mickey mentions that he doesn't know a way out - the mouse has no way back to his wife! And, given that he ''ran off in the dead of night, leaving just a note behind'', he probably feels real bad about it too.

** Actually she couldn't have escaped during that time as only hearts filled with Darkness AKA Heartless could pass through that door from the Realm of Darkness to the Realm of Light. Aqua having a heart of Light would not have been able to pass through it. Still tearjerking though.

* When the two meet, Mickey tries to explain as best as he could about the current affairs in the Realm of Light, but he just happens to pick the subject about how long Aqua has been missing first: [[YearOutsideHourInside 10 years. A time period she couldn't imagine even after she accepted the fact that keeping track of time in the Realm of Darkness is impossible]]. It's easy to image Aqua lamenting how much years she has missed afterward and fearing for the Realm of Light's safety, considering that the last time she was there, she's literally the ''only'' active Keyblade Master left; Eraqus is dead, Yen Sid is retiring, while Mickey is still a novice. Thankfully, Mickey quickly dispels the thought by revealing that [[MessianicArchetype someone else]] has been taking her job.

* The multiple HopeSpot Aqua encounters in the Realm of Darkness. When she reaches the Castle of Dreams, she suddenly meets with Terra and is overjoyed...only to realize that he wouldn't respond to any of her questions and fades away once she recognizes the illusion. Then in the courtyard, she sees Snow White's glass casket with a sleeping Ventus inside...that she can't open up. Finally, at the end of the thorn forest, she meets with Terra and Ventus, and this time the former can speak with her...but it turns out that he can do that because Xehanort wants him to. Gosh...

** When Mickey finishes revealing this to Riku in the present, the latter feels remorseful and ''upset'' that Mickey could have hidden this information from him for so long.

* Given that the game takes place after the DownerEnding of ''Birth by Sleep'', the very premise of the game is already gut-wrenching since Aqua is all alone in the hellish Realm of Darkness and pining to see her friends again.
* From the opening cinematic, Aqua reaching out to Ven and Terra, only for them to turn to her as Ventus-Vanitas and Terra-Xehanort, and she's blasted away.
** The end of the opening cinematic where Aqua casts a defensive spell over Terra and Ven to keep them from falling with her. The only thing she can do is give them a sad smile when they reach out for her as she falls.
* At one point Aqua appears to cross the DespairEventHorizon once again and quietly accepts her end. Thankfully, Mickey arrives.
