Bodhum was sealed and the Purge was announced, but what was happening didn’t feel real. It was inside the Purge train when I finally thought, I won’t be able to go home.

It was as I witnessed the gunfight between the citizens and PSICOM at the Hanging Edge that I understood that all of Bodhum was to be erased because a Pulsian fal’Cie had been discovered inside the Bodhum Vestige. The military was serious about killing the citizens. I realized that I was going to be killed, too.

The gate to the Vestige, which should have been unopenable, had opened because of the Pulsian l’Cie. Everything had started because of the l’Cie. I had learned that after I had returned to Palumpolum after I had lived in hiding for a long, long time. I was finally told of the enemy that I should been hating.

The adults didn’t always tell the truth. The more important something is, the more they want to hide it. I, who had just barely still been considered a child, didn’t discover the truth until long after. Of course, even if I had been told, it didn’t mean I could have done anything.

Yet, I didn’t want to remain a powerless being who wasn’t capable of doing anything. I had had enough of being made to do things based on someone else’s expectations.

Also. Taking someone else’s place, too.


Hey, sempai. Would you take my place…


+ recognition of younger Hope, Lightning, etc. as the causes behind the Purge
