The black mage child Vie has been taken. Some of the Genomes we rescued have also vanished. Even the Viera have reported that a few of their number are lost. They say the sky is changing.

Garland's work has undone our lives and flung all into chaos. You Sky People who step into other realms may bring back something of your homes, but you are leeching Gaia's spirit in the process.

We are all doomed.

...I don't understand.

If it can be changed then we'll just change it. And if it can't be changed then what's being upset about it going to achieve?

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

I suppose you are right. Though if it can be changed, it won't be easy.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't make a good story to tell if it was, would it?

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

What does that have to do with anything?

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

It means that if we do survive, we'll have great stories to tell. And if we don't we'll be failing at something worthwhile.

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

I see.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Plus it'd be kinda embarrassing if it was easy to fix and we messed up anyway, right? Least this way if we do fail it won't be like we couldn't manage something really easy.

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

[Mikoto just... does not get you, Bartz.]

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

[It's okay Mikoto. He makes no sense.]

Whatever the outcome, it's not the end of the world.

Well, I guess it kinda is. But it's still not worth worrying about. Worst case scenario? We won't even be around to be upset about it sucking. So really it's a win-win situation. Chin up, okay? It'll all work out all right.

Everyone dying and the whole world collapsing is all right?

[She's decided now. You are mad. Completely mad.]

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

...well, who'll be around to be upset about it?

[...possibly. He likes to think he just has some odd priorities.]

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

If Garland succeeds, he will turn this world into a new Terra and the souls of Gaia will be wiped into oblivion, replaced by those of Terra. He will turn you into nothing. There will be no continuation, no memories, the spirit of the planet will die.

Do you understand that?

[It's a while before he responds.]

We were all gonna end up being nothing sooner or later.

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

But we leave children and memories behind. Life goes on. All that will be lost.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

They'd be lost anyway eventually. Kids get old, memories get forgotten. We still gotta fight. But we don't have a whole lot to lose that we wouldn't lose anyway.

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

No. Memories connect us. They are never lost as long as Gaia survives. That is what Zidane and his friends learned in Memoria.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

[Another long while between responses.]

If you say so.

[Okay, she's had enough of this. If he doesn't believe her, he doesn't believe her.]
