...futile.

[Kain glares harshly into the screen.]

[To which a pom pom bristles into view and out again, as the moogle heads towards the direction of the continued wincing. The person who is obviously injured by this point says something, undistinguishable to the phone. More conversation passes, until there's a lull. The pitter-patter of feet follows, until the moogle assumingly spots the phone, his pom pom swishing back into view. The moogle soon retrieves it.]

There's a person near the entrance of Semitt Falls, kupopo! I think she's injured!! Maybe it had something to do with that monster that was here, kupo? It was guarding one of those trees! I haven't seen it, though...

[The moogle swivels the camera.] Does anyone know her, kupo? [The camera focuses on Ritz - and just as the moogle returns to her with the phone, her eyes slip shut.]
