FFBE Script part 119: In the Rain
Previously...
Chapter VI
Dark Continent Gronoa
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- IN THE RAIN -- DARK CONTINENT GRONOA
(The scene opens in Mysidia Town. It is raining. Rain stands alone in the middle of town.)
Rain: Seeing the rain... always makes me remember.
(He bows his head, and a flashback starts: Child Rain stands in a house. Only he is in color--the rest of the scene is black and white.)
Rain: Mom... sure is taking a long time...
(He walks a bit in the house, as if pacing.)
Rain: Where is she? It shouldn't take this long to do some shopping...
(He turns and gets a ! over his head as Raegen enters, carrying Sophia, limp, in his arms.)
Rain: Mom! Dad!? You're back? And what's wrong with Mom? Is she sick or something?
Raegen: ... ... ...
Rain: What is it? Say something!
Raegen: ...She's dead.
Rain: Huh?
Raegen: Sophia is... Your mother is dead.
(Rain backs up.)
Raegen: And I killed her.
(The scene returns to present day. Rain still stands with his head bowed, rain coming down on him.)
Rain(...): (Even I don't really think that he was the one who killed my mother...) (There's no doubt that he did have something to do with her death)
(He picks up his head.)
Rain: (But I never saw him again after that. After that rainy afternoon.) (He never even tried to explain why she had died...) (Lasswell doesn't know about what happened that day, though. How could I tell him? (He was Lasswell's hero... That useless old man of mine...)
(The rain stops. Rain turns with a (...).)
Rain: The rain has stopped?
(The party, minus the Finas and Sakura, walks up.)
Lasswell: Rain? What are you doing? You'll catch a cold if you let yourself get soaked to the bone.
Rain: Don't you worry about my bone. I was just thinking about some things.
Lid: Thinking, huh? There sure is a lot to mull over lately.
(The others turn to look at Lid as she continues speaking.)
Lid: We still don't even know the real reason why Fina or the Sworn Six are here in our world, for instance.
Rain: Mmm. Though I think I've got some idea about that, actually.
(Lid gets a !)
Lid: What? You do!?
Nichol: Yes. It seems quite obvious, after a little thought.
Lasswell: I have to agree.
Rain: Right? From everything we saw in Fina's memories, it's the only possibility.
(Lid turns repeatedly to look at everyone.)
Lid: What! Wait, seriously? A-am I the only one here who hasn't figured it out!?
Jake: Don't you worry, my lovely Lid. I have no more idea what is going than you do.
Lid: Ughhh... So I'm on the same level as Jake? That's just depressing.
Jake: Ha ha ha! What's wrong with that? Like attracts like, isn't that what they say? Surrender to your destiny, my fated one!
Lid: The thought of settling for you is even more depressing.
(Sakura and the Finas walks up.)
Sakura: Rain. So you've found your way to the truth, have you?
Rain: This world that we live in now... It's Paladia, isn't it?
Lid: What!? What does that even mean? How can this be Paladia?
Nichol: To be more precise, we should probably say that it is a part of Paladia.
Sakura: Mmm-hmmm. You could say that. The final crystal... The Dark Crystal is in Gronoa. It is a long road, so I will explain things to you along the way.
(Sakura walks a few steps.)
Sakura: Come. We will first need to find a ship.
Lid: Another ship? We should have just borrowed an airship from my brother in Zoldaad...
Sakura: No. An airship would not be suitable in this instance.
Nichol: Why not? It does seem that traveling by airship would reduce the likelihood of being attacked by the Veritas enroute.
Sakura: You will understand... once we get to Gronoa.
