There had been a few blissful minutes of silence, where everyone had been able to rest assured that the beast was asleep and no longer a problem, but in a place like Landel's that was never bound to last for long.

Even while unconscious, the darkness had took its hold on Sora, spreading over him like ink bleeding through water. And eventually, after his hands had turned into claws and every hint of color had disappeared from his body, he opened up bright yellow eyes, a monster once again.

The Heartless threw itself off the bed and found an empty room, but it could sense the hearts behind the door. It slammed into it and found only a strong resistance, but that was no obstacle for the Anti-Form. It leapt up and started to attack the door with its claws, intending to open up a hole large enough for it to get through.
