Poem/Intro: Light Rain (Hikari Ame)
A bottle with a letter in it, was sent into a long ocean voyage. It floated in this stream for a very long time until someone finally received it. It had no addressee and it had no return name either. A long with the return name most of the letter had already faded because the water washed it away. The receiver of the letter began to read it with understanding, but it was more like a concrete poem than a letter.
Dreaming of you,
no matter where you are.
Hoping someday we'll
meet again,
and that
love
will
bring us back together.
Now I will take the first
step to reach out to you.
And who knows: Beginning
this journey may lead
back to you or not at all.
There are lots of worlds,
but they are all
connected
by the same routes——
one route,
one path.
It ended there without a return name, because the rest of the letters were too blurry to read or hard to make out. The opening sequence begins with a girl standing at the shoreline of Destiny Islands. She says her thoughts out loud,
A dream
that's become a memory.
A memory
that's become a dream.
I want to put the pieces together—
allowing them to reach,
you and me.
The opening sequence's song lyrics begins to play "Ame Hikari" a.k.a. "Light Rain" (For the theme song go to Bonus Features).. As it plays through, the screen begins to flash with the music. The first scene shows her with wind bellowing through her long hair concealing her face from being seen. Next Riku appears onto the scene with his long silver hair changing into his new short hair cut. That's when he turns to face her with unsureness in his eyes and face that turn into a smile. The scene changes after Riku begins to run towards her with the same scenes of Sora and Roxas running to Kairi and Naminé. Then a break-up or scattered scene with some stuff from Dream, Drift, Distance and the scene where Sora fell into the ocean and Kairi grabbing for him changes into Riku grabbing for her who was falling. This scene ends with her falling into Dive into the Heart moment. First off the dream and then the Station.
The end of Introduction.
