[Video or Agrabah Action if you want to save her]

[Hotaru removed the bow she had been wearing around her neck and she ran her hand over the spot. The bite mark was almost entirely gone now but she still felt like hiding the place it had been from everyone.
Why had that happened? What did it mean? Everything was still so confusing even weeks later.
Maybe that was why the heartless had been able to get so close to her without her realizing it. The creature slithered over the ground creeping ever nearer to the bed the young girl was sitting on. This wonderful sadness was something the heartless wanted for itself! ]

I don’t think I will be going out today.

[No, staying here in this dark room surrounded by the pale light of a single lamp fit her mood a little better. ]

There really is no point to it anyway.

[Go away Heartless! You aren't wanted!]

It will make you smile, at least. And even if things aren't perfect, they're always better when you smile.

[So she tries that suggestion too. A simple smile that gradually becomes more bright. Things really weren't so bad here after all!

The heartless slides entire out of the room... defeated. ]

Thank you! I should have tried that sooner!

It's okay - sometimes it can be hard to remember. [She's smiling herself, too, because it's good to see someone overcoming adversity.] You just have to remember, it's always darkest just before the dawn.

Mm! I really will try to remember that from now on.

[She nods, still smiling.] I know you'll do good.
