[ Fran is sat in the cockpit of the Strahl, and more importantly, she is sat in the captain's seat, rather than the navigator's. ]

To those who know him, or those who know of him... it is my belief that Balthier has returned to Ivalice.

Whatever people wish to believe about the assassination of Vayne is their own choice. Yet I know Balthier is innocent. Believe what you will, yet keep your negative comments from my ears.

Selphie... I am sorry... I know you and he were close.

I may be wrong. Yet, I sense in my heart he has returned to Ivalice. I see no other reason for him to avoid contact, wanted or not.

(deleted comment)

Mm. I shall be fine. I spent many years before him partnerless, and I shall again.

(deleted comment)

Thank you, Selphie. I may pay a visit.

He's...

[A sigh] Balthier was a good man Fran.

I hope you meet him again in...Ivalice, was it?

Ivalice, yes. I hope one day I shall find my way home too.

I think all of us want to go home.

If not to a place, then to a face. Right?

They say home is where the heart is, don't they?

If that is so... aren't you right at home where you are?

Who's to say my whole heart is here?

Sure Selphie, Rinoa, and Quistis are here, but I miss my other friends and family who are back on my world.

Until then, Gaia will just be a nice place, but not my home.

Then I hope you find your way home one day, Irvine.

You too Fran, you too.

[Mjrn is downcast as she responds.]

...I am sorry, sister. I hope you will be reunited soon.

Thank you, sister. It is strange to be apart after so long together.

[Well said, Lord Larsa. +5 respect and I'll see you later tonight]

You truly believe Balthier is responsible for your brother's death?

Balthier is not the type of man to hide. If he planned to murder your brother, he would've done it face to face.

...Just as I have thought.

At least if he has returned to Ivalice he shall only be hunted for the crimes he has commit, rather than those he has not.

How true. I rather this than the farce that has taken place here upon Gaia thus far. Although, I must wonder how he would fair in Ivalice without his precious Strahl or you.

Certainly it would be a daunting task.

Will you be okay, Fran?

I... yes, I shall be fine, thank you.

He was here for a long time... But at least he's back home. That has to be a good thing.

I only hope he has found happiness.

Another one leaves? Is there any sign or warning before this happens, or does it just occur?

There was no warning. He simply vanished.

Vanished? How peculiar. Why do you think that is?

I imagine it is the same force that brings us here. But I do not know for certain.

Wouldn't you say it's a rather cruel state of affairs? I've witnessed those close to each other be separated by this force. Whoever is pulling the strings, they have a wicked sense of humor.

They claim it is a man by the name of Garland. Beyond that I do not know much.

They think Garland is responsible for bringing everyone here? I think not. The Sky People - do you know much of them?

You have a different explanation of the events that happen?

Sky People... I am one of them. A Viera, hailing from Ivalice.

No, just theories I'm afraid. But once I gather enough information about the subject I might feel confident enough passing on what I propose.

What is it that makes you a Sky Person? My apologies, but I am not entirely familiar with this term.

I look forward to hearing your theories.

It is my belief that the term 'Sky Person' is applied to any person who is not native to Gaia.

Essentially, a foreigner then.

[Why on earth would Garland... if only he could summon the will to talk to that old man whenever he so desired.]

The only guess I could venture at this point is that there is a force above playing with us, ripping out people from their own time and forcing them to live among strangers. Perhaps an experiment? Or maybe we are being selectively gathered in preparation of a war to come... not that there's any evidence of this, but Gaia has seen many wars in her day, and I wouldn't be surprised if history repeated itself.

You make valid points. I imagine all we can do is survive until the answers are clear or until a way home is found.

That too... another option would be to dig into the power behind this and seek a way to understand it, control it, change it.

You wish to play at being God?

Whatever power is controlling this shift in time and space is far bigger than any ordinary person could be.

If it was someone close to me being pulled in and out of time and space as I've seen being described, I would find a way to do something about it. The heart can only take so much of a loss, and it must be truly tragic to know that you can experience losing a loved one over and over again. What kind of cruel work is at hand? Whatever it is, I wouldn't want it above me if this is how they play the game.

To challenge the gods to become a god yourself... It is a situation that never ends well.

While I wish there was a way to stop people disappearing... I would not wish for such power to rest on my shoulders.

It is merely another theory. There are countless others, of course.

Coming from another world, do you wish to return?

As long as I am reunited with my partner be it here, or Ivalice, I am contented.

If you have other friends or family here, do you think they want to return?

[Vaan appears, noticeably older and more collected, if only slightly.]

Fran, good to see you're well.

...Looks like I've just missed Balthier by a hair, then. However if you claim his innocence, I'm inclined to agree.

Vaan, it is good to see you again.

Yes, it would seem you have only just missed Balthier. Who knows, he may one day return.

[Ashe hesitates; doesn't Fran know that Balthier was responsible? At least, he had confessed such to her... the princess is confused, her voice quieted.]

... When I spoke to him last, he mentioned an intention to 'take matters into his own hands', which I interpreted as finding the means to escape confinement. However, if he remains unheard from, by yourself, no less - I suspect you're right.

We had hoped to break him from his cell if he was not released. Yet he has simply vanished.

Then he has escaped captivity through no design but Gaia's own.

Should he return, the charges will likely be sustained...

This is true.

Should he return, I shall do everything in my power to protect him.
