Theo shrugs.

They walk on, and Kaede leads them to a travel agency. "One room, for one hour, please." The receptionist person blinks at Kimahri but doesn't comment and gives them a key. They go to the one, rather spacious room.

"So what was that thing about and the 'unclean death' thing?"

"Jyscal's ghost dropped this," he says, and reveals a sphere, "before he disappeared. There was something he wanted to tell us strongly enough he came back from the dead to do. Ten gil on how this explains how unclean his death was?"

Permalink

"Don't think I actually have much money on me right now."

Kaede sets the sphere down and starts playing it. A ghostly image of the same elderly guado they saw attempting to leave the Farplane, one of the many pictures adorning Seymour's palace, appears. "What I am about to tell you is the unclouded truth. I swear it on my honour as a guado. Listen to me very carefully, for I shall tell you the truth about my son, Seymour. His mind is closed even to me, a maester of Yevon. But I can feel flames of darkness burning in his heart. He is using Yevon, the guado, and even the summoners. If he is not stopped, he will surely bring destruction and chaos to Spira. I will leave this world soon, killed by my own son. But I do not fault him. Because I was not wise enough, he has suffered, and become twisted. I could not protect him and his mother from the world and its cruelty. I will accept death as punishment for my deeds. But whoever is watching this... I implore you to stop Seymour! Stop my son."

"– That, uh, am I the only one who feels like they're missing details?"

Permalink

"Perhaps. Before Lord Jyscal, there was a lot of racism—from both sides. The Farplane used to be closed off to humans, and Yevon to guado. And Seymour's mother was, as you saw, a human."

Permalink

"– Okay, but, why would he be evil and what evil is he enacting and, I mean, the guado must have had some sort of reason to do this but… I feel like someone just randomly accused someone in the street of being a murderer for no particular reason and I don't know what to do about it?"

Permalink

"Well it's not someone, it is literally his father, and... He did come back from the dead."

Permalink

"Someone who was sent... cannot return, like that, unless they have unresolved matters. They need a very strong emotion, something to pull them back to this world, and they are barely more than that emotion when that happens. It is... hard to conceive that he could have lied... but also hard to conceive that Maester Seymour would have done such a thing."

Permalink

"Man, what is it today... I'm kinda hopin' I'll wake up and this'll all have been a dream, ya?"

Permalink

"So we have that Seymour may have killed his dad or if not then his dad just really needed to tell someone that for… some reason…?"

Permalink

"The only way what he said could have been untrue would be if he were, simply, mistaken about it. He could not, in that state, have done something he did not believe."

Permalink

"Okay, that's… even more worrying."

Permalink

"So ghost gramps says creepy maester killed him, he can't have lied so either he's right or mistaken, what do we actually do about that?"

Permalink

"We have this sphere and basically no other evidence than what people know about unsent and returned. Accusing him will serve literally no one, and I'm more worried about him 'bringing chaos and destruction to Spira' than anything." Pause. "Wait he did just heavily imply he knew about guardians becoming the Final Aeon, right?"

Permalink

"– With the, not protecting his mother thing?"

Permalink

"With the 'asking me to marry him to save the world from Sin' thing right after mentioning Lord Zaon and Yunalesca."

Permalink

"– I thought you meant the guado ghost, not Seymour. But yeah, I think Seymour did."

Permalink

"How much control did Jecht seem to have over Sin?"

Permalink

"… It depends on whether you exclude anything he did while it was screwing with his mind?" says Theo, then pauses, looking at Tidus.

(Oops.)

Permalink

"It was what?"

Permalink

"I – think I already mentioned briefly that he wasn't functioning quite how he wanted especially when he – like when Sin attacked and I disappeared with it, he wasn't really in control there because– it was screwing with him."

Permalink

"...was he ever?"
