Yuna
"This must be how a runaway feels after finally coming home."
"This is the first time I've returned to Besaid since my journey
began."
"I'm a little nervous."
Rikku
"I bet, the way you took off without
a word."
Wakka
"Yeah, you said it."
"You caused quite a fuss, young
lady."
"I'm sorry."
Wakka
"Well, as long as you're okay, ya?"
"Your friend?"
"Oh, this is Paine. We're looking
for spheres together."
Wakka
"So you're a sphere hunter now..."
"I heard the rumors."
"To tell
you the truth, I wasn't too worried."
"Gotta say, though..."
"You, uh,
do seem pretty different."
"You haven't changed a bit, tubby!"
Wakka
"Whoa! Cut it out, ya!"
"I'm going to be a father soon."
"Got to
have a little more presence, you know?"
"How much longer?"
Wakka
"Any day now?"
"Wakka, a daddy!"
Wakka
"To tell the truth, I sure don't feel like one."
"I mean, how
do I know how a father's supposed to act in front of his kid?"
"Why not just do what your parents
did?"
Wakka
"Hm, don't remember 'em."
"Sin saw to that when I was still
little."
"You don't have any spheres of
them?"
Wakka
"Nope, not a single--"
"What's wrong?"
Wakka
"Oh, uh...nothing, nothing."
"Anyway, do me a favor and go say
hi to Lu."
"She's been worried about you."
"Get going!"
Lulu
"Welcome back."
"Hi, Lulu."
"So tell us about the baby!"
"It's gonna be born soon, right?"
Lulu
"Hm."
"Not yet. Wakka's getting a little ahead of himself."
"Aw, bummer."
Lulu
"So, care to go for a little walk?"
"Can you?"
Lulu
"I could use the exercise. Come on."
"So, what's so important that you'd run off without telling
us?"
"This."
Lulu
"The sphere. Wakka told me about it."
"Kimahri said he found it on
Mt. Gagazet."
Lulu
"It does look like him."
"Though something seems a little off."
"Have you found anything?"
"Nothing."
"But there's still lot of
places we haven't looked yet."
Lulu
"Must be fun, being free to go where you please."
"It is fun, I never expected a
journey quite like this."
Lulu
"I'm not there, so you can spread your wings."
"Maybe."
Lulu
"You have spread your wings."
"Well, good luck."
"But, Yuna, never
forget who you are."
"You're the high summoner that defeated Sin."
"There are those
who would use that, Yuna."
"I'll be all right."
"I won't let
myself be used anymore. Not by anyone."
"Hm?"
Lulu
"It kicked."
"Really?"
"I wanna feel!"
Lulu
"Since you've come all this way, why not stay the night?"
Lulu
"Good morning."
"Oh, where's Wakka?"
Lulu
"He left at daybreak."
"He said something about a cave."
"A cave? I wonder what he's up to."
"Want us to go find out?"
"Yeah, there might be fiends."
Lulu
"Thanks. Though, I doubt he'd have trouble handling a few
fiends."
"Still, I'm a little worried."
"It's not like Wakka to hide
things."
"That's funny."
"I don't remember
there being any cave."
Lulu
"I don't know much about it either." |
"Would you mind asking
around?"
Brother
"Any trouble?"
"We're fine. How about you guys?"
Brother
"My heart...is aching..."
"Huh?"
Brother
"Ahh, nothing."
"Yuna here."
"Huh. That was weird."
Buddy
"It's nothing!"
Wakka
"Something wrong?"
"We came to check on you."
"Is there something in this cave?"
Wakka
"Uh, yeah...something like that."
"Who knows, maybe it's not
here, ya?"
"But I thought, "what if...""
"Maybe it's for real. Then again, maybe it never was."
"Been so long, I'm not sure anymore."
Paine
"So, you're saying there's something
that might be here, and you want to know for sure. Right?"
Wakka
"Right. But you see...I wanna know, and then I sorta don't
wanna know."
"Aw, man, make up your mind! What is
this thing, anyway?"
Wakka
"Well, uh... See, I heard there was this old sphere."
"A sphere? Of what?"
Wakka
"A sphere of...you know. What does it matter?"
"Hey, whoa!"
"We're sphere hunters, remember?"
"It's as good as ours!"
"All right, Gullwings..."
"Time for business!"
Wakka
"The Gullwings, huh?"
Brother
"This is Brother. You all right, Yuna?"
"Yessir!"
"Just ignore him."
"Find a sphere and the fiends
appear."
"One more for the Gullwings!"
Wakka
"Find anything?"
"We sure did?"
"Let's take a look."
"This it?"
Wakka
"Nah, 'fraid not."
"So, what sphere were you looking
for?"
Wakka
"Well..."
"It's a sphere of our parents."
"Chappu said he found
it."
"Chappu? Oh, your brother!"
Wakka
"He was a Crusader."
"Now he's gone on to the Farplane."
"Sin got
our parents not long after Chappu was born."
"We were too young to
remember their faces, you know?"
"When we were kids, we got into a
fight one time and Chappu said:"
""I found a sphere with mom and dad
in it, but I'm not telling you where it is.""
"And you never asked him?"
Wakka
"I was too boneheaded to let my little brother win."
"So I went
on without asking until I just forgot about it."
"Then yesterday,
talking with you made me
think about it again."
"Chappu used to play in this cave, so I thought
maybe he found the sphere here, ya?"
"But when I came to look...I got
to thinking."
"About what?"
Wakka
"See, I got this picture of my parents in my head, ya? Strong, and kind..."
"Whenever things got tough, those are the parents
I imagined."
"But their real
faces might be totally different, ya?"
"I think about that and I'm not
so sure I really wanna know."
"I was sittin' there trying to figure out what to do." "And then you
guys showed up."
"That's our Wakka."
"The sphere might still be somewhere
on the island." "Should we look for it?"
Wakka
"Nah, that's all right."
"I'm through worrying about that
stuff."
"What's past is past, ya? Can't let it get to me."
"I'm going to
be a father soon. Gotta pull it together!"
"That's right, Dad."
Wakka
"But, uh..."
"Just how am I supposed to pull it together?"
"Sure
wish I had something to go by, you know?"
Buddy
"You read me? You guys about finished
down there?"
"Brother's starting to get on my nerves."
"Yeah, we'll be back soon."
Brother
"Yay!"
