[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.

A cost... Cecil told me about what happened to Cosmos. I wish it had not been so, but it seems she ultimately aided you with her sacrifice.

We would not have been able to defeat Chaos without her. I only wish we could have found some other way, before she had to give her life.

As do I. It sounds like a hard won victory...

[Even after ensuring they made it through.]

It was. Chaos was not an easy opponent.

I don't doubt it. The odds against us were great indeed.

[Kain is rather curious how he managed to make it to the next battle, but with no memory... who knows?]

...perhaps you'll remember eventually.

[Voice/Filtered]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[Because Cosmos sacrificed herself again. But he doesn't remember that. And when he does, he'll probably be rather horrified by it.]

Perhaps so. If I have begun to gain memories of my own world, memories of a previous cycle are not so impossible in comparison.

[Bawww. D: Kain has no idea, of course, but he does know that the army of manikins was headed for her... it hadn't looked good, at all.]

It may take time. Even if not... know that I offer my assistance at any time it's needed. It's the least I can do as a warrior of Cosmos.

[And to make it up to the ones he betrayed.]

[Voice/Filtered]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Your assistance would be welcomed, Kain.

[Voice/Filtered]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

Good. And if you ever have any questions about that cycle... let me know.

[He's not even sure at this point if anyone else will ever fully remember. It's... sort of a lonely feeling. But it's not going to stop Kain from viewing them all as comrades, as he'd gotten to know and trust them.]

[Voice/Filtered]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

I will be sure to.

[He will definitely have questions about it, especially once he starts remembering. Having someone to ask about recovered memories is something he hasn't had much before- so he'll definitely take advantage of it now.]

[Voice/Filtered]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

It's the least I can do.

[Sure, he's not sure it's exactly the best cycle TO remember, but... still...]
