Who's standing off to one side, looking at the pretty stuff.

Gosh, how fun.

Does it look like Wakka is interruptible or does that look like a private moment?

Bit private, yeah.

"I should call my mum, here," he says suddenly.

"– Oh, okay." Pause. "Do you want me to move away…?"

"Nah," he says, and a floating woman with dark hair appears. "Not like it matters. She can't respond, can she? You can't," he directs that part to her. "Can you?" No response. "I'm not even sure in what sense I could say this is her and not just some image except she wouldn't be here if she weren't dead."

"… Do they never respond, then? It's just images of them?"

"Yeah. It's why people think it's all fake."

"Oh," he responds. "… I mean, I don't think there's any way for me to check, unfortunately."

"Probably isn't, no," he sighs.

And Theo has not actually lost anyone so he'll just stand here awkwardly.

"Try getting the fayth?" Kaede eventually asks.

So he does!

Nope.

"Well, was worth a try," he sighs.

"Can you usually get fayth here?" asks Theo. "… I feel like I might've asked this already."

"If you did I don't remember," he shrugs. "I don't know if anyone's ever tried, but if one talked to you... here's the place with the most pyreflies, out of anywhere."

"Do they usually stay near their statues? Because maybe it was near his statue or something." Shrug.

"They don't exactly have physical locations, in the strictest sense. They can be reached at their statues, but 'where is the fayth' is not a question with a well-defined answer."

"Can they usually be reached not-at-their-statues, then?"

"Not usually, I don't think. But in theory."

"Huh, okay." Shrug. "Maybe he'll visit again, next time I'm there."

"Maybe," he sighs, and looks at his mum again.

Sigh.

"Were we going to do anything else here?"

He shrugs. "I'm gonna talk to my mum, in case she can actually hear, and Wakka will talk to his brother."

Nod. "Be back in a bit, then."

To Rikku and Tidus!
