043 - Rinoa - Voice [filtered from bad guys]
[Rinoa sounds absolutely exhausted. Almost like she's talking to herself, even, though she's not; she knows the phone is switched on but she's saying whatever comes to mind.]
We're going home.
Home... That's what it is now. I don't know if I ever used that word to describe Gaia, but... it feels right. I wonder if Squall thinks the same. We all chose to stay... Even though Selphie and Irvine aren't here. I talked to a lot of people who had to make choices like that. You never know what to say to them. But you know how it feels.
[She coughs. Rinoa's not in the best of health at the moment.]
So that's it. Matoya, she... That's what I was gonna say. I don't know how many people have already heard, but she's gone. I thought that I was giving it everything... All my power to fuel the portal. We all thought that. But she was doing most of the work and then it was like she just expired; she knew it was the end. She wanted to go.
Y'know, I think she would have told me off if I'd said that I wanted to save her. It's all up to the rest of us now, isn't it? I'll have to catch up, but I'm so tired... Hmm...

So... About that invite to Alexandria. Does that still stand?
