Thinking about how she has THREE Sora in her mind for the box art. Like, girl! You are down bad!
Begging people to understand that KH1-KH3 happens in one year and roughly two weeks.
Why don't these characters interact more? Because they're child soliders literally training to fight in THE war. Hell, just Hollow Bastion 2 to the end of Ansem SoD is 16 days.
How come Kairi doesn't do anything? Cause she literally just got Destiny’s Embrace. How come she hasn't talked to her man? Cause they talked the other day in-game time.
Nomura is what I like to call a "timeline filler." Everything happens right after another and having a year long time skip after KH3 is huge in canon.

heres the thing abt kairi. i don't think she's poorly written, i think she's poorly executed. like there's a conflict/lack of cohesive vision for her and they're trying to shoehorn her into a role she does not fit.
Actually from early beta content from the second game we know Nomura wanted Kairi to absolutely go fight for her man and from what he's said in this previous interview he just did a lot of the beta concepts of Another Side Another Story are coming back to play.
I believe, in my heart, that Nomura knows he has to use Kairi sparingly because when she's with Sora he can do anything.
Fairy Godmother told Aqua in BBS that they can't fight the darkness with light, this being that they are two sides of the same primordial coin, and she very not so subtly alludes to fighting darkness with love. And what are these to if not truly in love in canon?
So honestly keeping her away from Sora has always been a meta reason to keep the franchise going.
