LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- TWO FINAS -- SEVERED LAND 1
(The party is in battle against some elementals.)
Jake: What's this? Something's different about these enemies.
Raegen: These monsters have been around since ancient times.
Jake: Ancient times? That means...
Raegen: That's right. These are visions.
(Wave 1 of battle commences, and leads to wave 2.)
Lid: Monsters as visions... Who called on them, then?
Dark Fina: Only Sol could be capable of this.
Jake: I see. What a trick, calling monsters on us like that.
(Wave 2 commences, and leads to wave 3.)
Lid: But wait... This place is just one big mass of crystals. Which means there's no end ot how many visions Sol can call on!
Sakura: My, that is true...
Lid: T-... That's a huge problem for us, right?
(Wave 3 commences, and leads to wave 4.)
Fina: ...*Huff* *huff*
Rain: Fina, don't push yourself! Stand back if you're feeling overwhelmed.
Fina: I-I'm okay... I can still fight. I will let you know when I've had too much. But until then... I want to fight as long as I can alongside you all.
Rain: ...Got it. But please, tell us when you've had enough.
(Wave 4 commences. There is no further dialogue.)
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- TWO FINAS -- SEVERED LAND 2
(Fina and Dark Fina are walking along. Fina slows down, comes to a halt, and bows her head.)
Fina: Ugh...
(Fina begins to flicker.)
Fina: What? M-my body...
(The flickering stops.)
Fina: What is happening now?
Dark Fina: It's a symptom. A sign that you're going to disappear.
Fina: I'm going to disappear?
Dark Fina: It's not that weird, really, when you think about it. We were originally one person, after all. It's only because of the crystal that we ended up like this. That's all we really know about what happened.
(They turn towards one another.)
Dark Fina: Both of us can't exist in this world at the same time. That at least seems pretty certain.
Fina: Hm... I guess you're probably right. It's weird to have two versions of the same person exist at the same time, huh?
Dark Fina: But why should I be the one to remain, while you disappear? It's probably because... Well. I guess it doesn't matter now anyway.
Fina: ...
Dark Fina: Are you sad?
Fina: ...Yeah. It does make me sad, too. But... that's not all. Even more than sad, I mostly feel...
Dark Fina: What?
Fina: It's hard to say. I feel somehow fulfilled. I feel... satisfied.
Dark Fina: Satisfied? With disappearing?
Fina: I really didn't know anything at first. But then I met Rain and Lasswell... and everybody else. I learned a lot during this journey.
(The camera pans left, and Fina walks a bit.)
Fina: I learned that chocobos are soft and fluffy. I learned how delicious water can be in the desert. I met all kinds of people in so many towns. I saw forests and lakes and the ocean and so many amazing sights. I felt pain and I felt sad sometimes. But.. I was happy, too. There were so many happy days.
(She takes a few more steps.)
Fina: So that's why... It's enough. I... I'm okay with this. I regret that I can't stay together with everyone up until the very end, but... I'm really not sad. So... don't feel bad about this. I'll need you... to look after everyone once I'm gone.
(Dark Fina walks to her, and they turn to look at each other once more.)
Dark Fina: I... understand. Hearing you say that makes this easier.
(Dark Fina walks off.)
Fina: Yes. It's enough. I... I've been happy, and that's enough.
(She flickers again.)
Fina: Huh!? Ah--! Ahh...
(She collapses on her knees. The flickering stops.)
Fina: Hah... hah... Phew... I didn't disappear this time... I'm... I'm still alive... H-huh? What's wrong with me? Why can't I... stop crying? I was wrong... It's not enough... I... I'm not okay with this.. Not at all... *sniff* *sniffle* Waaaaaaaaah! I'm scared. I'm scared... I... I don't want to disappear... I still want to stay together with everyone... Rain... Rain... Save me... Rain...
(The camera pans left. Dark Fina enters the scene again, but Fina has her head buried in her arms and doesn't see her.)
Dark Fina: ...You stupid girl. Look at you, bawling your eyes out now. All because you were trying to act so tough.
