[Aerith has set up the Skyphone on a table nearby, and the Cetra is seated in a chair across from the screen. There is a heavy pile of papers in front of her, covered in typed out text. She's flipping through the pages with a thoughtful expression, and is apparently separating them as her eyes skim the paragraphs and bullet points. One stack is the one she's slowly perusing, while the other is very small. She grabs the page she's currently going over, crumpling it in her hands before tossing it into a trash can set beside her chair.]

Most of this isn't worth being read, but some of it is...interesting. I can only remember so far back, and though a lot of it I don't want to remember, there are things I don't want to forget, either.

[She flips through the short pile, the one she intends to keep, pulling out one of the pages. There's a picture on it, printed in color, and she holds it up to the screen.]

This was my mother. [She says it proudly, without a hint of sadness, though there might be the tiniest trace of it lingering within her eyes.] Wasn't she beautiful?

[Private to Zack]

So, when's our next date, Mr. Fair? Or do I only get one? [Wink.]

[ When Vanille activates the video function, there's a determined look on her face. She doesn't say anything for a minute, just holding the Sky Phone. But then she looks directly at it and speaks, and her voice is full of quiet determination, the kind that means her decision cannot be swayed. ]

I'm going to see Oerba. I have to see it with my own eyes. Lightning, Serah... take care of Bhakti for me, okay? I won't be gone long.

[ Those who are paying attention might notice she's not in Tifa's apartment. She's not even in the one she's claimed for herself, Lightning, and Serah. She's actually at the docks in Luca, waiting for an airship. This girl's on a mission and she won't be swayed! ]
