Hey there, Clickbait Boyfriend fans! As promised, before we dive to the heart into Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind next week, we’re taking a quick journey through Kingdom Hearts III‘s secret reports. As a brief disclaimer: Clickbait Boyfriend did not play through the Battlegates (although he did watch me play them), so he has not technically earned this knowledge. Nevertheless, he has thoughts. I recommend following along with the Secret Reports here to get the full context. I’ll be providing commentary in the form of Kairi emojis!
