Maybe, waiting isn’t good enough.

The Nameless Star(s) are going to join Kairi’s heart by the end of Melody of Memory.

At least that’s a guess I have.

Stella tells Sora she’s waiting for Yozora in the Final World and that she’ll continue to wait for him to come and find her.

Sora agrees with her decision telling her to believe in Yozora just like Riku believed in him.

However, in Remind we can see Sora’s gained a new perspective after getting Kairi back or his feelings have changed somewhat at least.

After Xehanort was defeated in base Kh3, Sora gives this speech about what Kairi means to him that basically boils down to Sora doesn’t ever want to be apart from Kairi again. So, he doesn’t go back to Yen-sid to

possibly find a safer solution to getting Kairi back and he doesn’t “Think Twice” when Mickey and Chirithy warn him of the consequences of using the Power of Waking to save her. He wanted to be with her no matter what.

Waiting just isn’t good enough.

When Sora and Kairi arrive in the Final World and meet Chirithy, Sora gives yet another beautiful speech regarding his newfound look on life.

Notice how when Sora remarks on having to wait for someone you love to come back to you, the camera shifts towards Kairi giving him an assured look.

I think this scene was a callback or complimentary answer to Kairi’s resolution in Kingdom Hearts 2.

For a whole year, Kairi couldn’t remember Sora’s name but never actually forgot about him. But when she did finally recall his name she sent out the letter in the bottle to reach out to him. With no response she took it upon herself to find Sora and reunite with him finally.

Finally, in Melody of Memory Kairi will journey to the Final World accompanied by Riku and as we can see in the trailers they will eventually come across the Stars lingering in the Final World. There’s a shot with just Kairi and a single star that’s probably Stella having a conversation with her.

I think Kairi and Riku will tell her of their desire to find Sora, whom of course she already met. Kairi will probably inquire as to why she and the stars are stuck in the Final World, and how they’re waiting for their “someone” to come and get them.

Kairi can relate the most to their plight of course waiting for Sora to return to her and her memories. But eventually she took it upon herself to take the first step to reuniting with the one she cared for the most.

Since Riku’s there he can inform her of Yozora’s presence in his dreams, sparking some kind of hope that Yozora will come for her.

But, it’s because of this I think it will be Kairi who convinces Stella and the Nameless Stars to stop waiting to be saved, but instead if they want to be with the one they care about most: They must take the first step themselves.

Waiting just isn’t good enough.

Of course they don’t have bodies to physically leave the Final World, so Kairi could allow them residence within her own heart, similar to how Sora kept her heart within his (as well as Ven, Roxas and Xion).

*There’s also all of the obvious star symbolism surrounding Kairi:

Oathkeeper/Lucky Charm

Destiny’s Embrace Keychain

Her Chess Piece

Her Combat

Stella=Star/Star Necklace
