[action, closed to Rygdea]

[...Damnit. Damn it all. This was exactly what Cid wanted to avoid, exactly what shouldn't have ever happened. Everything had been going smoothly until now, and although he knew that it was inevitable, he was hoping that he could delay it for as long as possible. Apparently, as long as possible wasn't more than just a few weeks

[He knocks, though the formality feels strange when he really just wants to kick the door down and demands answers. Still, Cid is his superior officer, and old habits die hard.]

Come in.

[He's been expecting him, so the door is open. Some way, any way...]

[Stepping inside the room, he closes the door and leans against the doorframe. In a tone that's so flat it even obliterates his usual drawl, he bites out a single word.]

Explain.

[A deep breath, and he tries to do what he can. Maybe if he explains everything at once, without giving Rygdea a chance to question each section too much? He doesn't know what to do. At all.]

Fang and the others were l'Cie. You did not know their actual Focus. It wasn't to save Cocoon. It was to destroy it. I... I decided that I did not want to let this happen. My only choice, I believed, was to defeat them so that they would not complete their Focus. The entire time, they were being manipulated.
