FFBE Script part 102: Don't Give Up, Don't Give Out
Previously....
MAGI NATION MYSIDIA - DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T GIVE OUT - MOUNTAINTOP VILLAGE 1
(The party is walking along a path in a snow field. They come to a stop, and Rain gets a ! over his head as he spots a fallen white mage. He rushes to her side.)
Rain: Hey! Are you okay!?
Villager(getting up on her knees): P-please.... help us... Monsters... attacked our village...
Rain: Of course we'll help! Which way is your village?
Villager(standing): Th-thank you so much... It's not far.. I'll show you the way...
Sakura: Now, Rain. I hope you haven't forgotten that you're supposed to be completing my trial.
Rain: I know that... but I can't just abandon those villagers, either!
Sakura: Oh? Even knowing that a crystal awaits in Mysidia, you still insist on this detour? And if that crystal should be destroyed while you are off attending to these villagers... what will you do then?
Rain(bowing his head): I... I don't...
Sakura: If all the crystals are destroyed, it will be the end of this world. That is what the Sworn Six intend.
(The party gets ! at this.)
Lid: You can't be serious... right? The end of the world? That's what Cid wants?
Rain(...): Even.. if that's the case... I can't just abandon people who need help right in front of my eyes!
Sakura: Rain. Would that always be your answer?
Rain: Yes. It would. So I'm sorry, but... your trial is just going to have to wait until after we help that village. (Rain turns to the others.) Come on, guys! Let's go!
(The party hurries off, leaving Sakura behind.)
Sakura(grumbling): My goodness.... Some people just never appreciate the lengths you go to for them. Choosing to focus on so trivial a thing when so much more is at stake? Even after facing down the hatred and determination of the Sworn Six? It seems... I may have been beaten at my own game.
MAGI NATION MYSIDIA - DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T GIVE OUT - MOUNTAINTOP VILLAGE 2
(Sakura stands at the edge of the village. Rain approaches her.)
Rain: I knew we made the right choice. We were able to help a lot of people here. This village should be safe now. And now that that's taken care of, we can get back to that trial. Let's press on to Mysidia!
Sakura(...): You seem awfully pleased with yourself. Is that all you do this for? To make yourself feel good?
Rain(grumbling): What? You're trying to say I'm too proud of the fact that I managed to save an entire village?
(Sakura, who has had her back to Rain this entire time, now turns to face him.)
Sakura: If the crystal had been destroyed while you were out here doing this, the entire world would have fallen. And if that had happened, every person in this village would be dead,. Meaning that everything you did here... would have been meaningless.
(She turns and starts to walk off.)
Sakura: The Sworn Six are completely dedicated to their goal. Their hatred burns as hot as fire. Their determination is as unbending as steel.
(She turns to Rain again.)
Sakura: Rain. You must prepare yourself for what is coming. Abandon petty concerns, and be ready to stand against the true challenge awaiting you. If you do not, then you will surely fall to the Veritas in the end.
Rain(...): We've fought the Veritas so many times now. We know how determined they are. And it's probably just like you say, Sakura. They've probably sacrificed a lot for their goals. They're ready for that kind of fight, the kind where you might lose everything.
(Sakura takes a few steps towards Rain.)
Sakura: If you understand that, then...
Rain: But it doesn't change anything for me. If I fight the way they do, giving up on everything else, then even if I win.... Even if I save the world, I don't think I could love a world built upon so much sacrifice. That's why... I won't give up, and I won't abandon anyone else either. I'll fight them. I am prepared to fight the Veritas. But I';ll fight them my own way.
Sakura(...): I see... So you hope to beat them even in how dedicated you are to your principles, is that it?
Rain: Hmmm. I guess you could say that.
(Sakura turns her back again).
Sakura: ....You are an interesting man, Rain. Well then. We should be going. You still have a trial to complete. I'm counting on you to get me to Mysidia.
Rain: Good. We'll get your there.
(Rain rushes off ahead of Sakura.)
Sakura(...): (I came uo with this "trial" as an excuse to travel alongside Rain, so that I could determine if he is the sort of man we need...) (...But perhaps I learned something else. Perhaps this is the type of man who can save the world...) (Raegen. Your son has passed my test.) (Which leaves... only the problem of Fina.)
