[ Denzel is sat on the sand, watching the water, bare toes digging into hot sand. He looks contemplative. ]

When people go home... what happens to them? How can life just carry on for them if the rest of us are still here?

I- um.

[He fidgets with his sleeves. He has no idea what to say but this boy is going to be Eiko's husband, right? So he has to say something to try to help.]

People have gone and come back before, right? I- I don't really know what goes on or-

-but I'm sure they're fine. And that they'll come back.

[He isn't really sure at all. But maybe Zidane would say something like that and Zidane was always good at making everything seem better.]

She's doing well. She's still grounded, though, I don't think she's happy about that.

[He fidgets a little more as he tries to figure out what Zidane would say to fix everything. He'd probably start by grinning, which is something Vivi can't really do. He shuffles his feet a little and then nods when he thinks of something.]

She's been playing cards. She got really good at it while I was gone. Should I- do you want me to teach you how to play so you can play against her?

[As far as Vivi's concerned? Minigames solve everything.]

[He nods, happy that he managed to cheer Denzel up]

Sure!

[He digs a bomb card out of one of his pockets and holds it in front of the phone.]

I don't know if they're popular in sky people cities but nearly everyone in Lindblum plays - even all the grown ups! They have a red side and a blue side and the aim is to turn over all your opponent's cards so all of them are your colour.

[He launches into an explaination of Tetra Master that somehow makes sense. Unfortunately he understands the game a lot better than his mun does.]

I have a lot of spares. If you don't have any cards you can have some of mine.

[She's sitting down on a chair with a wall behind her. Not much to see, really, but she looks concerned and thoughtful as she answers.]

I don't know if this will make any sense, but I think different people can be taken from separate points in their lives. If they're sent home, everyone they know is still there with them, as if time stood still while they were gone. So I think, the person you miss right now is back home and happy, and when you go back, too, it'll be like nothing changed.

[Poor kid. Time manipulation is difficult at best.]

Kind of. It is very confusing, even for us grown-ups. Just a minute.

[Hold on; she gets up for a minute to grab something and when she returns, the Sky Phone is sitting on a table so Denzel can see her and the table between them. On the table, there are a bunch of rocks of all sizes in several rows and columns. Each column starts at the phone and ends at the edge of the table, while the first row is along the edge of the table by Elle and the last is by the Sky phone.]

Okay, say each of these lines of rocks- [She runs a finger down each column.]- is what we call a thread of time and inside each thread of time are a bunch of people from the same world. And the rows this way- [She runs a finger down each horizontal row this time.] -are years. So the first one here at the edge of the table is year one, then year two, year three, and year four.

Say something like this happens, where Gaia picks one person from one world in their year one- [She picks up one of the rocks from a middle column and end row.] -and places it here, in Luca. [That rock is placed at the far edge of the Sky Phone's visibility and the edge of the table.] That rock is Cloud.

[She grabs another rock further forward in the same column.] And this one is you, okay? You're both here in Luca, but you remember more than he does. Things have happened for you, but not for Cloud. You spend a lot of time together in Luca. And then Gaia sends Cloud home. [She places the Cloud!rock back exactly where she'd picked it up from.] But Gaia sends him to the exact place it took him from, like that thread of time was frozen.

And if you were there with Cloud at home when time froze, you wouldn't remember missing Cloud there because nothing happened there while he was gone. And Cloud couldn't ask you in his time over here- [She taps the Cloud rock.] -because you hadn't been to Gaia yet. But if Gaia sent you back home tomorrow, it would send you back here. [She moves the Denzel!rock back to its place.] You could ask Cloud anything about Luca that you wanted to because he's been there and he'll remember.

[She sits back a little and looks at Denzel apologetically.]

It is confusing, isn't it? Did that help at all?

Ellone. But you can call me Elle if you'd like. I'm really glad that helped.

I wish I knew, sweetie...

Hey, do you remember that time when Cloud disappeared and then turned up on the Forgotten Continent with a whole new set of memories? It was like he'd lived through so much when it had only been a week or two for us. So who knows how time works for people when they go back home... Maybe, at the point that Cloud goes back, we're all back home too, together...

Me too, Denzel. I'm sure he's all right.

I know.

Listen... I know, why don't you write him a letter? You could tell Cloud about all the things you've been up to while he's not here, and then when we meet up again, you can give it to him.

Great! I know he'd really love that.

[Aerith glances a the screen, her phone set off to the side from her. There's some shuffling before she comes into view of the screen.]

I wonder the same thing... how we can come from different points in time, and yet to the others it's as if we've always been there up until their future.

I'm sure it's something we're not meant to understand, just that we're meant to accept.

Cloud will always be okay; I'm sure where he is now, your there to keep him in line.

[She seems unusually thoughtful, at that.]

I think -or maybe just hope- that when they return home, they live whatever life they were meant to have, before being taken here.

You know, I think they are. They're were they're supposed to be, after all.
