[She'd been hoping... she'd been hoping and praying to whatever gods or goddesses existed in this world that she'd been wrong. A first if there ever was one. Celes didn't normally want to think of herself being wrong. But this?

This she'd prayed for.

The answer she'd gotten when she returned from Memoria, when she'd finally gotten her courage up to call his phone... that clinched her fears. The dead signal, the moogles complaining that she'd cracked her Sky Phone and how hard they were to fix when they were that bad...

The general had nearly thrown the phone back in their faces. Luckily for everyone involved, all the static on her phone could pick up was the sound of her punching a wall in anger. Her voice echoed down the corridor and through the staticy phone, and a smear of blood remained, marking the place where Celes' frustration had been made known.

The next phone that was offered to her really was thrown across the room. The moogle that had brought it to her must have been new and didn't know not to anger her. So in her wild rage, she'd taken the Sky Phone and smashed it into the wall farthest from her. The moogle left in a hurry.

After that, she'd taken refuge up on the roof and that's where she can be found all night. Another brave moogle soul comes up to give her another phone. Having spent herself throwing things in a private room and wearing herself out, she takes the phone without response, curling herself away in a shadowed corner of the rooftop and letting the wind ease her aching heart.

Eventually, she uses that phone, clicking it onto voice feed. She can't bear to use video right now.]


...If anyone sees Locke... tell him... [what, that she misses him? That she's angry with Gaia for taking him right from in front of her?]

Tell him I'm looking for him.

[Her voice isn't strong at all. It's nothing like it normally is. Her tone is tired, aching, voice so quiet the phones almost don't pick it up at all.]

...you okay?

[Relm sounds almost concerned. She knows that sometimes, all her childishness needs to be discarded for other peoples' sake. And so she tires her best to forget that she's tired and upset and furious and stuck somewhere weird and to be mature and strong instead.]

I'm still in the weird place. But I'm safe. I'm with a guy who looks like a fork and a girl who looks like she's made of sweets.

You back home?

I know. They can't hurt me.

...you think he's gone?

[She responds some time later, after going through yet another bout of memories and trying to reach Locke herself. Of course, that came to nothing. Her voice is soft, strained, wishing she could do anything to bring the treasure hunter back.]

Celes....

[Dodging that question just slightly.]

I'm...still in Memoria. I'm sorry. I wish I could be there right now.

Good. Has anyone else returned?

It won't be for long, if I can help it. We were told to keep going downward, so...that's what we'll do.

[For awhile, Edgar doesn't speak. But he has an idea - Celes sounding that upset... there are very few things that could provoke that. And Locke's name being mentioned gives him a good clue.]

Celes.

Yes... for now. Hopefully we'll find the exit soon... I remember what you all told me about the last occurrence.

[He pauses, and then-]

Is it true, then?

...I'm sorry, Celes. [There isn't a better way to say that, and he's still stuck where he can't reach her.]

I wouldn't trust anyone on Gaia but you with Figaro. [And he means that sincerely. Although Regent Cid is a close second. But he knows that Celes having something to do will help her as well, until he can see her himself.]

I know you will not. And I'm sure the moogles will be of help to you. If they aren't, threaten them with revoking their workshop for a day or two.

Occasionally they need to be reminded. I'm sure you can think of appropriate ways to do so.

Perhaps a little danger wouldn't be amiss. Life needs some spice, after all.

So have all of us and we still have quite a lot of spice.

Oh, no... Celes... I'm sorry.

[Compared to Ashe's past experience of Celes, the emotion straining her voice now was a clear indicator that some great sorrow had befallen the General. For the tone was one she had been driven to, only recently.]

Then... he is missing.

I...

[The words aren't enough; she knows this, but they're genuine. Her own grief is still too fresh to merit elaboration.]

I'm sorry.

[Ashe has no objection to this change of subject, and follows Celes' cue. Yet, she chooses not to dwell upon her memory, rather the experience surrounding it.]

I was parted from Shain, yet he was found and cared for. I now make my way to collect him.

Alfitaria. Securing passage there sould not be difficult; Warjilis has had dealings with that city, and trade routes remain open.
