Upon positive confirmation from you, you'll have three minutes to gather everyone into the main room. As close as you can. Has the situation changed inside?

[(spoken) to Chichiri]

Soon, now. [He looks anxious.]

[He smiles and gently clasps Caesar's shoulder.]

Don't worry. I'm ready. I'll get as many people out as I can.

[nowarstowin]

[He's staring at the journal, waiting for Tifa's response, and jumps a little when Chichiri touches him.]

I've got a ... bad feeling about this. It's too easy. He has to know we'll try something.

If something happens, get back here immediately. Even if you can't get everyone -- we can try something else again.

[celestialwater]

[He nods.]

I will, and it does seem like that, doesn't it?

[He gazes at the window and frowns slightly.]

I could wish Tasuki were here... he and I work well together. Or Nuriko, with his strength...

[He looks back and smiles.]

We make do with what we have, though, and I have faith that Suzaku will help me in this endeavor.

[nowarstowin]

Good. [A trace of the tension eases from his shoulders, though he's still terribly wound up.] He's ... frighteningly cunning.

I'm ... not sure I would wish this place on anyone. I understand what you mean by that, however. I find myself sorely wishing the presence of Lady Chris.

I hope you're correct about that.

[heartlocking]

Understood. Everything's still the same.

[nowarstowin]

Best of luck to you.

Three minutes; now.
