[The image is steady though somewhat off, showing a tiny girl with bright green hair at an odd, stilted angle. Even so, that's enough to capture the look of wide-eyed horror given at a moogle barely within the screen's range, not much smaller than the girl herself.]

What?!? No! My world can't be gone! You're lying!

[Of course the moogle is quick to protest.]

I'm not lying, kupo! It's the truth! You--

[The little girl stamps her foot, even as tears begin to form.]

Stop it! That doesn't make any sense! I told you, I don't have time for this! We have to go and rescue Rosa!

But--

[The video feed grows unsteady as she runs down the street. Once she's far enough away, the little girl plops down to catch her breath...and curls in on herself, sniffling.]

But--

[Then it sinks in that the communicator is talking to her. She stares into it, after wiping at her face.]

Who're you?

[Video]

[feelsforthem.livejournal.com]

My name's Lucca. I was brought here, just like you.

Do you need anything? Are you okay?

[Video]

[bittyrydia.livejournal.com]

I'm Rydia.

[Lip wobble.]

I need to find Rosa! Golbez and Kain kidnapped her and took the Wind Crystal and....

[feelsforthem.livejournal.com]

...Rosa.

A pretty lady with blonde hair?

[Video]

[bittyrydia.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh.

[Her eyes widen.]

You know her?!?

[Video]

[feelsforthem.livejournal.com]

I don't. But I've seen her talking with these things. Don't worry, I'm sure she's safe.

[All fidgety now.]

She's somewhere in this town? I have to find her!

[She stands and picks up her rod.]

[Video]

[feelsforthem.livejournal.com]

...she might not be in this town. There's a lot of different places. Don't go too far on your own, okay? If you use the thing we're talking through now, she'll probably try to talk to you soon.

[Rydia bites her lip.]

...the moogle wasn't lying?

[Video]

[feelsforthem.livejournal.com]

It'll be fine. Nothing's gone for good, I can prove it!

[Video]

[bittyrydia.livejournal.com]

Huh? How?

[Video]

[feelsforthem.livejournal.com]

It's a little complex, but you look like a clever girl!

I have a friend who's here, who comes from my world's past 400 years before I was born. The moogles told him the exact same thing they told you, that our world had been destroyed.

But if it had been destroyed forever 400 years before I was born, then I couldn't be here. So not only do we know there has to be some way to restore it, we know that we must have succeeded.

...oh.

[She starts to smile a little.]

I guess that makes sense.

[Video]

[feelsforthem.livejournal.com]

[She smiles when Rydia does.]

So don't worry. We know that everyone will be safe back home.
