* The Player Character in their second life if one [[FridgeHorror thinks about it]]. They believed Xehanort was the "[[TheChosenOne Child of Destiny]]" mentioned in the Book of Prophecies, and raised him on the island Sora, Riku, and Kairi played on with the intent of keeping the darkness away from Xehanort. Then they die at an old age believing they were doing good by Ephemer as Xehanort is their friend's great-great-great grandson. DiedHappilyEverAfter, right? But not only do players ''know'' Xehanort would fall into darkness, kickstart a second Keyblade War, and hurt many people, but it's all but said that they were ''wrong'' about Xehanort being the child of destiny[[note]]If anything their description of the child of destiny better fits ''Sora'' than Xehanort[[/note]]. Meaning, not only was everything they did in their second life AllForNothing, they may have inadvertently ''helped lead Xehanort down his path''. Ouch.

Revising the page on the players reincarnation given that it is not Xehanort as shown in Dark Road's ending.


*** It doesn't even stop there. As the player character wonders if they will undergo the same fate, Chirithy tells them that they have a choice: if they do not go to sleep, their heart will melt into a new one. The player then sees flashes of the person their heart will melt into... '''''Xehanort''''', first being born in Scala ad Caelum and taken to Destiny Islands by a mysterious figure who watches him grow to adolescence, and him gaining a friend in Eraqus during their training. The Player then expresses that it isn't over yet and, after their Chirity gives them one last "Good night", fades away as the Player's heart begins its next journey... down the [[TitleDrop Dark Road]].

** Each of the Foretellers (with the exception of Aced) have an added element of sadness should you fight them.
*** Invi [[ApologeticAttacker apologizes for getting the player involved]] and promises to make the fight end quicker. When defeated, she's the only one who compliments her former allies on the warrior they raised, and urges the player to get through the war.
*** Gula asks the player if they're okay, before reminding them that they're on a battlefield. After the fight, he tells the player that he'll "see them around". He doesn't...
*** Ira offers to be merciful to the player out of respect, praising their growth and lamenting that he didn't have them in his union.
*** Ava's fight probably hits the hardest. After having heard the truth from Luxu, the despondent Foreteller marches into the battlefield and does battle with the player. After the fight, she pleads with the player to leave the fight and join the Dandelions, before walking off to her doom. Even worse is that this really is the last we see of Ava for now, as she [[spoiler:doesn't even appear in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII's'' epilogue]].

I hate this fanon, so much. The scene is very clear


** The trapped player bursts into laughter, saying it was so easy to trick the Darknesses into thinking they were possessed. But it only gets worse from here: the player locks the other end of the portal, trapping them inside with the Darknesses, after which they finally collapse from exhaustion. Hugging their Chirithy as their light shines, the player watches as all of the other Dandelions die and merge with their Chirithies, turning them into ''all the Dream Eaters from Dream Drop Distance''. The realization that player's allies throughout the game were resurrected children from the age of fairy tales stung many hearts.

* The ending of the first episode of the Dark Road has Xehanort visiting four graves... Which represents four of his fellow apprentices that went with him and Eraqus on the mission to find their older classmates, meaning that something terrible must have happened to them. Seeing the young Xehanort look so despondent and sad is quite sad, especially when Eraqus himself arrives and forlornly reminds Xehanort that it wasn't his fault, which indicates he had been blaming himself for years over their deaths. Say what you will of the Jerkass Xehanort became in the future, but it's quite easy to feel sympathetic towards him as at that moment he was just a young boy mourning the losses of four of his friends. It's quite likely this played a hand in his eventual turn to darkness and why he was so callous with Eraqus, as he's already lost four friends and probably had hardened himself so that losing one more wouldn't have affected him too much.

*** Worse, there's no indication that Ephemer never figured out later on it was all a ruse, and his friend pretended to have been turned to save all of them. The poor first Master of Scala Ad Caelum lived out his years and died thinking his friend had turned evil, and had been effectively destroyed by his hand.
*** And the worst part of THAT bit of FridgeHorror? Ultimately, the player ''did'' genuinely, though indirectly, fall to darkness and evil, because of his reincarnation as Xehanort.
