I think I almost prefer the silence of death. This place has an unsettling aura about it.

...You're...

[thefirstsin]

...Hello to you too, my replica.

[fon_ionization]

It's--

I don't know what to say. You're alive.

[thefirstsin]

It's rather interesting and somewhat refreshing to see you again. Do you remember? We only spoke once, and that was on the day of your creation. I have many questions, about Auldrant and the Score, but I'll hold off on them in favor of asking how life has been treating you.

[fon_ionization]

Yes, I remember. I didn't understand, but I knew you were special and somehow made me different; I just couldn't put my finger on what was going on.

Ah... I suppose life has been fair for me. I was dead prior to appearing here, so it was only so fair.

[thefirstsin]

The fact you managed to last as long as you did impresses me. I didn't anticipate your fonons to hold together for so long. I'm pleased to see my judgement wasn't misplaced.

I see. I take it your seventh fonons simply grew unstable and you disappeared?

[fon_ionization]

... You know how long I lived after your death?

No. Well, in part, that would be true. I read from the fonstone in Mt. Zaleho; if that wouldn't have killed me, absorbing so much miasma into my body would have.

[thefirstsin]

I can only make assumptions.

Miasma? Interesting. Did you purposely absorb it? I'm sure even you know the dangers of the miasma.

[fon_ionization]

The official records would have noted that the Fon Master celebrated his 14th birthday, but died before his 15th.

I did. A dear friend of mine was dying from a build-up of miasma, and it seemed so sad to repay the world's savior with death.

[thefirstsin]

...I see.

What a foolish, selfless act.

[fon_ionization]

I couldn't just let her die.

[thefirstsin]

You very well could have. If she was doomed to die then you shouldn't have interfered. Your act of kindness brought you nothing but death in the end.

[fon_ionization]

Doomed to die?

... Her death wasn't mentioned in the Score. Nothing that was happening was mentioned in the Score.

[thefirstsin]

While I cannot speak about the so-called deviations from the Score that might have taken place, I do know that the inhalation of miasma is nothing short of fatal. If she inhaled it, without your intervention, I'm confident she would have died sooner or later.

[fon_ionization]

... Oh, I see what you mean.

Tear didn't inhale the miasma. It was a side effect of working with the Sephiroths.

[thefirstsin]

I see. ...An event such as that certainly isn't preordained in the Score.
