[Vague apology is going to be vague, but that's how Kain does these things. He'll leave it public partially as an act of penance, partially because he's still readjusting to these devices and their filters. He isn't even sure that all of these people are here- he's been gone from Gaia for only a couple weeks, but to him it feels much, much longer. Don't worry Zidane, when he realizes you're not here, he'll bother you when you arrive.]

Cecil. Squall. Onion Knight. Bartz. Firion. Zidane. I apologize to all of you, especially.

I should also extend that apology to the other warriors of Cosmos as well.

I'm... sorry.

[He's still recovering, but he can't finish this without offering:]

...and if anyone has need for another fighter, I can be there at once.

His loyalty was with us. He guided me to my crystal, and then tested my resolve before we fought Chaos. He was never truly fighting for Chaos at all.

[Yet still even now, Cecil doesn't realise the full extent to which his brother helped the warriors of Cosmos from behind the scenes.]

...I asked him to join us in our fight, but... he believed himself unworthy.

He was worthy. Surely more worthy than I am.

[Kain understands that, because if he weren't brought by Cosmos he'd feel the same way.]

He chose his own path, despite what fate had set out for him. We all owe him much. Had he not informed me of the truth... we might never have had a chance.
