Lasting Tranquility~

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

You give me my freedom again? For what purpose? Your thoughts are hidden from me.

[She closes her eyes, calm and still.]

I wish to see Caius, Noel...Serah. You have it within your power to make that possible.

[caprichaos]

Aren't you forgetting someone?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

If you are referring to Lightning, I haven't forgotten her.

[caprichaos]

As if I would want anyone to remember her!

And after everything I did to help you out... I thought we were the best of friends.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Your existence, like mine, is temporary, Lumina. It can be extended in this realm, but you know what awaits you when you return.

[caprichaos]

[Ouch. Don't pull your punches or anything, god-girl.]

Yeah, so what if it is, huh?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

You need to be aware of it and face it when your time comes. Otherwise it will be too hard.

[caprichaos]

Who are you... to tell me I have to face anything?

You're just a sad little girl who hid away in a temple at the end of the world and hoped that if she closed her eyes for long enough, the world would end before anyone made her take responsibility!

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I have faced death many times, Lumina. The future is out of my hands. All I can do is watch it occur.

You know why you were created; you know your ultimate use. Do not stray from the path set before you.

[caprichaos]

Stop talking about me like I'm some kind of... doll!

I do whatever I want to do!

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Everyone has a destiny. You cannot avoid it forever. It will find you.

[caprichaos]

... yeah, but what did I do to deserve this?

Stupid Savior... this is all her fault.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Nothing. You were created for a very important purpose. Think of the ones you save.

[caprichaos]

Why should I care about people who don't even care about themselves?

What do I get out of it?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

They do care. They have simply forgotten. You are their reminder.

Peace.

[caprichaos]

I swear, this is like talking to a brick wall!

This is not fair, you hear me? Not fair! Are you even capable of feeling anything any more?! You know nothing about what it feels like to be me!

No-one cares about me, and so I don't need to care about them! Hey, if God's all-loving "Savior" can't even look me in the eye, what chance do I have with anyone else?

It's all her fault for being so weak! Make her fulfil your precious purpose!

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I feel. [Deeper than words can express.] You and I are alike. Our destinies are not fair, but they are necessary. I know you fear losing yourself, but a part of you will live on with Lightning and Serah.

[She shakes her head slowly.]

Her burdens are far too great already.

[caprichaos]

[Lumina looks ready to slap Yeul except Caius would probably have "words" with her after that, so instead she just throws her hands up in the air and goes to sulk.]

Great. I do all the hard work and get the booby prize at the end. And I have a robot for a best friend.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I'm not…

[Maybe she is a little emotionless. Can anyone blame her?]

Attachments are dangerous. [Yet…] I do like your company.

[caprichaos]

[Huh? Wait, you're still mad at her.]

... well you've got a weird way of showing it.
