[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.]

There must be some sort of misunderstanding. He'd not harm a dragon.

[Rydia shakes her head.]

It's not a misunderstanding! I saw the whole thing! Ask Cecil and Rosa!

It's all right. I believe you. I'll inquire of Kain himself.



If it would help you feel more at ease, I'll fly to Traverse Town to help you find Rosa and Cecil. It's not always a safe place to be.

[She manages to calm down a bit, relieved not to have to further justify how horrible Kain and Golbez are.]

Okay...but how come?

There are some frightening monsters in Traverse Town. If you see a shadow following you, try to find an adult. That way you're not hurt.

Shadows? Would fire magic hurt them?
