FFBE Script part 149: Sophia's Memories
Previously...
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- SOPHIA'S MEMORIES -- CRYSTAL WAY 1
(Rain and Lasswell fight side by side. They dispatch a pair of elementals, then both turn as Raegen walks up behind them.)
Raegen: You both are doing wonderfully.
Rain: Yeah, well... It's not like we can just sit around doing nothing.
Raegen(...): That's true enough. As Sakura said, there is probably not much time left before this land is destroyed. But even if we do not have much time, I hope you can spare a little.
Lasswell: Time?
Raegen: Not for me. But for Sophia...
(Raegen walks closer to them. A vision of Sophia appears, and Rain reacts with a !.)
Rain: My mother's vision... (editor's note: he actually says "Your", not "my", but that doesn't make sense.)
Raegen: (...)
(The scene flashes back to that rainy day when Sophia was killed. Raegen is carrying her. He stops as she groans.)
Sophia: ...Ugh...
Raegen: Why... Why would you... Rain and Lasswell still need a mother...
Sophia: Nol... It isn't me... that those two need now... It's you... So... Make sure.. they're ready... My life... is nothing... compared to that...
Raegen: I understand... Don't try to talk....
Sophia: My love... Just do me... one last thing.... Put your memories of me... into a crystal... And... when they're grown... Show my vision... to those two...
Raegen: I will. I promise I will.
Sophia: Thank... you... My... love...
Raegen: No... Thank you. Sophia. You were the best woman I ever knew... You have been a wonderful mother to Rain and Lasswell... Thank you. Thank you so much...
(The scene returns to present day.)
Raegen: Lasswell, you were away on training at that time, so you didn't even get to say good-bye on last time.
Lasswell: Yes. That is true.
Raegen: And that's why Sophia asked me to do this. She wanted to be preserved as a vision. Now, why don't we let her get a look at how you've grown?
Rain: Mother....
Lasswell: Miss Sophia...
(The two walk closer to the vision. Raegen walks away. The camera pans up with him. He stops in front of Sakura.)
Raegen: You only have until the vision disappears. Do you think we can spare that much time?
Sakura: Of course. Who would be so boorish as to refuse? (...) After all, this might be the end of everything. You ought to do everything you want to do now, while you still have the chance.
Raegen: The end... Yes, I guess you're right. The situation isn't looking very good.
Sakura: No. I did not expect Sol to interfere.
Raegen: My, my. My life alone might not be enough for this...
Sakura: Not "alone". I'm putting my life on the line as well.
Raegen: Is that so? I shouldn't find that comforting, but somehow I do.
Sakura: It's only natural. Our fates have been linked since the day we set asie our arms and armor.
Raegen: Linked, huh? Yeah, I suppose they have been.
(The camera pans back down to Rain, Lasswell, and Sophia's vision. The vision dissipates and the scene ends.)
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- SOPHIA'S MEMORIES -- CRYSTAL WAY 2
Raegen: I'm so sorry, Lasswell.
Lasswell: What's wrong, Sir Raegen?
Raegen: I hid so much from you. But as knights, you and Rain were both still so young. That is why I was unable to speak of the Veritas.
Lasswell: I understand. You've no need to apologize. You did everything out of concern for Rain and I.
(Wave 1 of battle commences, and leads to wave 2.)
Lasswell: I heard from Rain that Sophia was lost in an accident.
Raegen: So I see...
Lasswell: Rain has trouble keeping the truth hidden. There are some strange circumstances surrounding Sophia's death... Or so I always thought.
Raegen: Did you not try to get the truth out of Rain?
Lasswell: Rain would just lie for my sake. So I thought I would simply wait until the day he told the whole truth himself.
Raegen: ...You're quite capable, aren't you.
(Wave 2 of battle commences. There is no further dialogue.)
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- SOPHIA'S MEMORIES -- CRYSTAL WAY 3
(Rain and Lasswell stand together. Fina enters.)
Fina: Here, you two. Have some water.
(She gives then both some water.)
Rain: Thanks. Fina.
Fina: I thought you might be feeling parched after fighting so long.
Lasswell: Heh... ha ha ha!
Fina: Lasswell? What's so funny?
Lasswell: I'm sorry. I just couldn't help remembering when we first met you, Fina. You knew so little back then, and were always asking us why this and why that...
Rain: Yeah. I remember that. I also remember when you wandered off on your own and got lost. Man, that was a disaster.
Fina: Oh, you two! Please don't remind me of those days. It's just too embarrassing!
Lasswell: Yet look at you now, not only able to take care of yourself but even taking care of our needs...
Rain: Yeah. You've really grown, Fina. You've grown a lot.
Fina(...): If I've learned anything, it's because I had the two of you. I'm so glad that you were the first people I met when I came to this world.
Lasswell: It is curious, isn't it? It feels like it has been so long since we first met.
Rain: Yeah. I feel like the three of us have been together forever.
Fina: Hey... We'll always be together, won't we?
Rain: OF course we will. That's why we've got to save this world.
Lasswell: Indeed. Everything begins from there.
Fina: Yeah. I... I'm going to do my best. I'm going to do everything I can.
(They begin to walk off. Rain and Lasswell are off screen when Fina comes to a faltering halt.)
Fina: H-huh? What's going? My body felt strange for a second there. What was that?? Maybe I'm just tired....
(She walks on. Dark Fina enters from the other side of the screen.)
Dark Fina: That girl... Could it be?
