004 ☼ Video

[Zanarkand Dome. The splashes of stars in the surrounding night sky would normally be peaceful, beautiful, but here they only serve as a reminder of what this place used to be, and what it now is: Dead. Tidus can be seen jumping, looking around in confusion. Hadn't they been there before? Yuna, and the rest of the guardians stand nearby, watching as Yunalesca appears.]

Have you made your choice?

[Yuna nods and steps forward, declaring Auron will be the Final Aeon. Some distant part of Tidus wonders if that's even possible for a dead guy, but right now he has to argue against it since no one else seems bothered by Yuna dying in the least.]

Yuna, don't do this. You can't! Don't do this again--!

[He tries to run, but something is stopping him, keeping him frozen in place. Yunalesca looks at Tidus, almost with...sympathy.]

You can not save her. It was never in your place to begin with. It's a pity anyone filled your head with dreams that said otherwise.

[A gruffer voice laughs before Jecht walks into view.]

Crybaby! You couldn't save me, and you ain't going t'manage savin' her either! Now everyone's gonna die. 'Cause of you.

Shut up!

[But the words are soft, as if traveling through cloth, and everyone goes back to ignoring him and watching as he turns into the Final Aeon and "kills" Auron, swiping at Yuna and ending her life as well. Her body falls, graceful yet limp, and Tidus wants to run toward them and trying to stop it, but he just keeps staring at their open, blank faces. The room goes silent. Everyone else disappears. Tidus is shaking.]

Yo, Tidus! Hey...! Can you hear me?

[He hears Zell. He doesn't respond at first as he sinks to the ground. His head is lowered. When he does speak, it's distant, as if he's in his own little world. His tone is completely flat, lacking any sort of emotion.]

They're dead.

No, man! Snap out of it! It ain't real!

Not real...?

[Tidus echoes Zell, his thoughts elsewhere. Is that why he couldn't stop it? Because of what he was?]

Tidus...?

[Standing up, Tidus starts to walk. He pauses when he hears the voice, but continues. The only thing on his mind being revenge.]

[ Doesn't understand what's going on here but knows this isn't the Tidus she's usually around. ]

Tidus! Where are you? Come on, I know you can hear me.

It's never going to stop. Isn't it? [His voice is dull, hollow.] Might as well end it all for them.

What ... what do you mean? Tidus, that's not like you at all! Where are you right now?

Zanarkand. Not my Zanarkand. Mine doesn't exist. Fake, apparently.

You know, I'm starting to think my fake Zanarkand's better than this place. We didn't murder eachother.

Tidus...

Tidus, it's okay. That ... I don't know if that can be considered real or not.

If it's not real, then is everything that's happened the past few months real?

My head hurts.

I... I don't know, Tidus! But you have to wake up! You--

[ Just isn't going to sit here and yell at the screen! She's already up and looking around the house for him first. ]

You have to wake up. Keep talking to me, Tidus.

Am I dreaming?

[Tidus is in his room. He had been leaving his bed, stopped by the evil duck. So he's slumped against the wall, banging his head against it.]

Wake up, wake up, wake up!

Tidus! Tidus, I'm coming!

[ Hearing the wall banging, Rinoa rushes through the house until she reaches Tidus' room, stepping inside with the turn of a knob while preparing herself for whatever may be inside. ]

[The scene changed from the last time he and Rinoa spoke. He left the dome to the outside city, approaching the creature they call Sin.]

I can end this...

Wh... What is this?! What's going on??

Yuna?!

[He whirls around, desperate to see her, to know she didn't really die.]

( she's looking mighty concerned herself over here ) I... I don't understand! What's going on?! What was that?

Yuna, where are you?!

[His voice is on the verge of being hysterical, and he looks like he's about to cry.]

I'm... I'm right here! ( she's searching the screen, looking a little desparate. the right words... what are they right now!? )

You aren't hurt? [His voice is cautious. But if she isn't, then that's enough for him.] I saw-- Was it a dream?

( she shakes her head, even though she still doesn't understand it, exactly. it seems like... you know more about the situation than even she did... as well as some of the finer details she was trying her best to keep quiet about... ) That... that wasn't me...

[Tidus is still too shocked by both the nightmare and the fact that it wasn't real to think about whether or not he revealed anything from Yuna he was trying to protect her from.] I'll just have to get out of here.

( she searches the scene again... looking for an answer somehow -- ) Then -- you need to break out of it! Don't give in!

I won't! They're going down! [He reaches for his sword, searching for the source of this nightmare.]

[Watching that tall man die, the young girl fall backwards… also dead… OH!

She has to look away and cover her eyes. ]

Why are all of these…

[She peeks back once everything goes silent. ]

Can… you look around? There should be a duck some where…

Why? Because people allow it. They let this happen! I'm gonna stop it.

...What?

A duck. It sounds really strange…
[She feels apologetic about it even though she didn’t have anything to do with this. ]

But, these horrible dreams are being caused by ducks. If you touch them they make you see things like this.

[He's not back to his normal cheerful self, but at least he doesn't sound like he's going to break down now when he speaks to her.]

There's a...duck hiding here somewhere?

It should be where ever you were before… before this terrible scene happened.
Do you remember where you were?

I think I was in my room. I think...I was going to sleep. Or maybe not. No, I was going to leave.

Which world were you on? I am in Traverse Town right now… if it is near there I could go and take care of the duck for you.

[Maybe! At least she wants to try! ]

Radiant Garden...I think? Don't I live there? I'm pretty sure that's where I am.

This is all your fault. If it weren't for you... they'd still be alive.

[Here's Icy to make things worse if she can...]

[She's succeeded! Tidus looks away, attempting to hide his tears.]

I know.

[She's pleased with the results, anyway]

That poor girl.... how old could she have been? Now she'll never live a full life.

It should've been me.

It should have.

I can take them all with me.

You've lost everything... it's all over

It is over... for everyone.

That's right. All hope is lost.
