Luckily, Twitter user "@momo_krys" was able to translate the quotes to English.
Since the previous game, Kairi has been training as a Keyblade wielder while waiting for her friends to return from their journey. She has chosen to take up her training as a way to help her friends this time around. On the other hand, she also noted that Lea has continued to apologize to her despite Kairi assuring him that everything is fine.
While she was scared at first, Kairi noted that she and Lea started talking to each other during training. She also discovered that Lea has a best friend he wants to protect.
