He relaxes and smiles at her, not noticing Mina's growing affections from that moment.

HISTORY 
Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts

Brone was seven years old when Radiant Garden fell. He witnessed his parents have their hearts taken right in front of him. In the rush to flee, he was taken with neighbors he barely knew to Twilight Town. No one has gotten him to speak since. Brone meets Mina when Silas approaches Mariko to ask for directions to a park. Just like most children, Mina is excited about another kid close to her age, and starts asking a bunch of questions, causing Brone to panic and look to Silas for help, who explains he is mute. Mina is surprised by this, but understands and respects it, deciding she could talk to him anyway until they learn how to communicate with one another!

Kingdom Hearts II

Sora boards the ghost train and is lost in thought, and tells Donald and Goofy that he's sad. After they grow silent once more, that's when Mina speaks up. "You must be Sora!" He gets startled by her, having not noticed the two here, and Donald and Goofy laugh. Mina jokes around when Sora asks what she's doing aboard, saying she likes trains- then jokes again that she knows why he's here, and it has to be that he likes trains, too! Brone smiles, but the moment is disrupted by a boss battle happening as soon as the train leaves Twilight Town's world. They fight side by side, finishing just as they arrive at the Mysterious Tower. Mina and Brone join the trio inside, and wish them good luck when they head out again.

The very same day, when they return to Twilight Town, they meet Naminé, and form a close bond with the Nobody.

When Naminé disappears with only a note and a drawing she did of the three of them left behind, Mina and Brone are determined to find her. They start off by returning to Yen Sid in hope of finding a way to travel, and he decides to give Mina a Star Shard.

With this gift, Mina uses it to travel worlds alongside Brone in search of Naminé, and they form bonds with people they wouldn't have met otherwise. Along the way, the two get attacked mid-travel between worlds. Brone, knowing Mina can't use her magic while holding onto both him and the Star Shard, decides to let go, resulting in the two being separated and leaving Brone stranded on Montressor. Uncertain of his whereabouts and worried sick, Mina begins to travel worlds to search for him, both familiar and unknown.

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded

When Mina and Brone finally return to the Mysterious Tower, they are informed by Yen Sid that King Mickey and Jiminy Cricket are in need of help. He also hints that it might greatly help their journey. Intrigued, Mina and Brone set off to the Disney Castle immediately.

The two are too late for Brone to help with the technological side of the mess. However, they arrive in time to see the data version of Naminé, who appears in the white room of the digital Castle Oblivion, where she meets up with Data-Sora and Mickey to tell them about Terra, Aqua, and Ventus well as Sora's destiny to save them from their suffering along with Axel, Xion, Roxas, and Naminé herself. As a replicant of data existing specifically for this purpose, Naminé fades away after the message is delivered.

After the exam and Riku returns to the tower with Kairi, Mina and Brone introduce themselves. During their first meeting and how they thought of one another as familiar, they come to find out that Naminé is Kairi's Nobody. Although it may not be exactly what they were hoping for, Mina can't help but be ecstatic that they found their friend again.
