 I'm alive? But I was sure that I slipped from that man's hand.... 

Huh. Would you look at that... Moms really are tough.

I wish I could have seen Hope grow up myself, but I'm happy to see that he's grown up so well. So maybe going on vacation at that time wasn't a good idea. As long as Hope is safe and happy, that's all that matters to me. I'm certain he'll make it through any obstacle.

Please watch over him for me. Take care of him. I know you can do it. Thank you.

[omegabound]

We haven't met, but...I know your son. My name is Lightning.

[formyson]

Ah, you do? Are you friends with him?

It's nice to meet you, Lightning. I'm Nora Estheim.

[omegabound]

Yes. We traveled together for quite a while.

Likewise, he told me quite a bit about you.

[formyson]

Has he been safe?

[A mother's worry.]

Has he now? All good things I hope.

[omegabound]

He has, yes. [As safe as he could be, given their..rather harrowing journey.]

Of course.

[formyson]

That's good to hear. [And then a pause...] Has he gone home?

[omegabound]

[Her pause is much longer, as she's unsure how much she should tell Nora.]

Yes, at least for a little while.

[formyson]

For a little while... [A small sigh to that.] Was it because of his father that he's not there anymore?

[omegabound]

No, they reconciled, actually. There where...other circumstances that drove him away.

[formyson]

Oh, thank goodness. I've been trying for months to get them on friendly terms again.

[She's relieved about that, but the other circumstances clearly concerned her.]

Like what...? I'm sure I've missed a lot....

[omegabound]

Yes...quite a lot... [She trails off, pursing her lips.]

It may be better for you to speak to Hope, so he can tell you the story.

[formyson]

I... would like to. I'm just not sure where he is...

[omegabound]

I have it on good faith that you'll encounter him at some point.

[formyson]

I'm sure I will. I'm sure he can handle himself out there.

Can you at least tell me what's happened to Cocoon while I've been gone.

[Because it would be weird to say while she was dead.]</small.

[omegabound]

[At that request she looks a little more than uncomfortable.]

Cocoon is...gone.

[formyson]

Cocoon.... is gone?

[And now you've lost her. How can Cocoon be gone?]

The Purge.... Was it because of that?

[omegabound]

[Another long pause, as she collects her thoughts in the proper order.]

The Purge certainly didn't help the situation any.

[formyson]

[And Nora just lets out a deep sigh.]

So in the end.... Even if we had postponed the vacation... It wouldn't have mattered....

[omegabound]

Unfortunately, no.

[formyson]

What happened?

[omegabound]

In liberating Cocoon from corrupt Fal'Cie, it fell. The people living there, though, where saved.

Last tag for now. I need to sleep >_<

[formyson]

I see... At least the people got out safely then.

Me too

[omegabound]

Indeed.

[caprichaos]

Oh you're alive. In a way.

[formyson]

Where is everyone now?
