trace of nostalgia [video]

[Tidus is out by the water on the Curti Center island, as he usually is. There's a sunglasses-wearing moogle, Zunne, sunning on the beach behind him. But for anyone who knows Tidus, it might seem more odd that his eyes, usually bright blue, are now red.]

Hey guys, me again. I hope everybody's doing okay after that trip---and if you've run into any chocobo eaters, rest up. They're really tough!

Anyway, I've just been thinking. Does something about this place seem off to anyone else? I don't really know how to explain it, I know it sounds crazy, but I can't help but wonder why we're really here. It's just...I see these little things everywhere that are familiar, but they aren't? And I have to wonder if something big's lurking out there that we should know about?

Maybe I'm just homesick. Or hungry, that could be it.

[Distantly, from the Moogle's direction: 'How astute.' Tidus mumbles and ducks his head.]

All right, he's right. That's enough. If anybody's still up for blitz practice, I'll see you tomorrow!

Yeah! The sphere pool's high up, but so are the seats so everyone can see in. And it's broadcast on screens all over if you can't make it to the stadium.

[He smiles at the name.]

Hey, I met him! He looked pretty rough back then, but we all did---I'm glad he's doing better.

Did he? He seemed fine when I last saw him. I do hope he's okay...

[ Her concern shifts to a smile. ]

I would love to see this! When is the next game? Do you know?

I'll send you a schedule when I find one. And I'll definitely let you know if I make a team!

And I'm sure he's fine. Last I saw, he was pretty good at making friends.

Oh, how wonderful! I look forward to seeing your games, Tidus! If I was decent with sports, I would try for it myself. But I don't know anything about Blitzball. It's certainly not a sport in my world, but it sounds like an amazing idea.

Glad to hear it. I really hope you like it when you come!
