"Okay, it's done," Naminé informs everyone and holds the list up for everyone to see.

"Thank you, Naminé! Could you dictate them to us and cross them off as you go?" Aerith replies.

"Okay." Naminé nods, "'Alice, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Kairi, Snow White.' Proper capitalization."

"Alice... Aurora... Belle... Cinderella... Jasmine... Kairi... Snow White" Riku hits enter, but instead of either granting or denying them access, the program redirects him to yet another password screen.

"Ugh! How many passwords does he need!?" Yuffie complains.

"Looks like he wasn't always so unconcerned with them. Uh... I'll check how many there are..." Riku types random characters into the password screen, and proceeds until he's taken to a screen that says "PASSWORDS INCORRECT. REDIRECTING" and is sent back to the beginning of the process. He sighs, "Looks like six passwords total."

"How many different variations of the names is that!?" Yuffie exclaims, dramatically grabbing onto her hair.

"Hold on. Riku, try typing a bunch of letters again." Aerith supplies, completely focused on the task.

"Alright," Riku does as Aerith requests.

Aerith squints and looks at the computer screen, bringing her index finger to the asterisks shown on the input area, and begins to count: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve... I think there can only be twelve characters in this one; could you double-check the other input screens, Riku?"

"Uh, yeah, hold on..." Riku mouths the number of characters he's allowed to input on each screen until he's redirected back to the beginning: "It's twelve on all of them."

"Uh... does that mean anything?" Yuffie states, out of the loop.

Riku turns to look behind him and says, "The password can't be the Original Seven Hearts. At least, not all seven of them. It can only be six names."

"So everything that I..." Naminé mumbles to herself, slumping.

"Naminé, it's okay! We just have to try again!" Aerith tries to reassure the girl.

"I'm... partially to blame, I didn't think to double-check-" Riku begins to say but is interrupted by Yuffie.

"Nuh-uh! No thinking like that allowed! We just need to remove one name, right? So... which one?" Yuffie says, placing her hand on Riku's shoulder, supporting him.

"Sorry. You're right, Yuffie." Riku shakes his head, takes a moment to think, and says, "We can keep the list Naminé made; we just need to cross out Kairi's name. She's the only outlier in there, since she's also the only Keyblade Wielder in there."

"Oooh! Okay, Wise Guy over here has got it all figured out." Yuffie teases, noogying Riku, who quickly escapes her grasp.

"She's also the only one from Radiant Garden; it tracks. Let's go with Riku's idea." Leon picks up the list of names from Naminé and begins crossing out Kairi's name himself, wanting to give the girl a break. "It should be done."

"Second attempt, here we go!" Yuffie says, and she motions towards Naminé. "Miss Naminé, the floor is yours."

With a small chuckle, Naminé begins dictating the names again: "'Alice, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White'. Proper capitalization."

"Nothing," Riku says.

"Okay, try 'Alice, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White'. All lowercase."

"Back to the beginning."

"Next is ”'Alice, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White'. All uppercase."
