[ For those who have ever been to the Sunleth Waterscape, they might recognize the surroundings as the video function turns on. Most people probably won't recognize the bunny-eared woman staring resolutely down at the camera-holding moogle, though. She's been told it's been several months since she was last here. ]
-And you just press-
I know of this

Gripping her spear, and with Chit nowhere in sight, the young Viera approaches. She tries to keep any exhaustion felt from her face and movements.]

Mjrn. You are safe.
[ She'll just... be looking Mjrn over to be sure. Things are different. If a year really has passed, them Mjrn will likewise have changed. Jote feels as though her sisters will always be changing, leaving her behind. ]

Jote. I am glad to see you are, as well.

The Wood tells me nothing of the happenings here. Gaia has changed from that which I remember.

It has. The Iifa Tree no longer filters the souls of the dead so frequently. Sky people still arrive, as you have, but fewer in number. The time of flux is coming to an end.

So it has chosen now to return me to this world.
[ Another pause. ]
The Wood... can you hear her?
Reply
Long has it been since I ventured into this corner of the world. I...did not believe I would be welcome.
[She pauses, averting her gaze.]
However, other sounds have reached my ears. I hear the voices of the lost souls within the Mist. They become louder with time, especially where it is thick.
[That's a good part of why Mjrn prefers higher elevations these days.]

The Wood has changed. [ No longer does she pick and choose, no longer does she forsake. Now Jote, for the first time in her life, is wondering what her place is. ]
What do they say?
[ Either with words or feelings... what does this say about Gaia? ]

They are in pain, pain that only increases with the passing of time. There can be no peace for them -or us- until Garland's work is brought to an end.

[ Her sisters, the fighters. Both of them. Jote had known it would only be a matter of time before Mjrn followed Fran's footsteps. ]
Fran spoke of a way back to Ivalice. Did such a thing exist?
Reply
It did. Matoya, the seer, and others opened a portal. She has since passed, however. I...thought not to inform you. It seemed cruel, as it no longer exists.

The leaf will always turn over what it can no longer hold. Others will see what once it carried.
[ Meaning someone would've told her eventually. ]
Gaia... has changed since I was last here. I can sense the Mist, and the Humes as well. [ And the Wood no longer speaks to her. ] Perhaps this is as it should be.

[She stares past Jote to the village, then her sister once more.]
What will you do, Jote?

The village of Shumi. Does it still exist here?
Reply
It does not. I assume it is has been returned to its native world. What replaces it, if anything, I know not.
