Chapter 1- Paine's Reflections
She sat on the rough, wooden docks, reflecting on all that had happened in her life. She smiled sadly to herself. 'Look at yourself Paine, you're a hero-a saviour of Spira. You have friends, a home, a Sin-free life.' She muttered to herself. Life had nothing left to challenge her, no Sin, no Vegnagun….all that you could do now was to reflect. And that was what she did. She thought back to when she first started to guard herself against pain and sorrow.
It was a bright, calm day. Birds sang and let their melodious tunes fill the world. Below on the ground, people worked and lived their lives happily, but always weary and filled with fear of the one who came a thousand years ago.
A harsh wind suddenly arose, and huge waves crashed onto the land. People started screaming and running away, their shouts filling the air. 'SIN!' Trees were ripped out of the ground and debris flew into the air, while a huge shape lifted itself out of the sea. A crash, a bang and silence once more. Nothing was left.
A girl with crimson eyes arrived, her eyes widening in shock. She ran to the spot where, supposedly, her house had been. Tears leaked down her cheeks- the last time she would cry, and she looked towards the sea. Out of the sorrow rose anger, her heart hardened and she spoke with calm rage 'I will get you Sin, even if it's the last thing I do.'

And a year later, she joined the Crimson Squad as a sphere recorder, and remembered the first time she met him.
'Gippal, Nooj, Baralai. You are a group. You shall have Paine as your sphere recorder.' Kinoc announced.
The four people gathered round and started talking about their mission. As Nooj and Gippal talked, Baralai turned and spoke to her. 'Hey there don't mind those two. They're not very polite to ladies.
She felt charmed in spite of herself but instead said 'I prefer to be alone.' She walked past him and felt his puzzled eyes on her and caught a glance of his determined expression on his face.
-----------------------
She also remembered the first time that she opened up to him, and that led to much, much more…
'Hey Dr. P!' She turned round to see him standing there, a grin on his face. 'Whatcha doin?' He sat down next to her, and she replied with a customary glare. 'Nothing at all.' 'Okay then,' he replied. They sat in silence before Baralai moved closer, and put his arms round her. 'What are you doing!' She was startled and surprised, but most of all, uncomfortable about this new situation she was in. 'Hey! Get off!' She struggled but after a while, relaxed, finding that she couldn't break his tight embrace. 'This is really weird, you know,' She turned to look at his face and found that she couldn't take her gaze away from his face. Slowly, they were getting closer and closer until their breath fanned each other's faces…
'Hey you two! What are you do-' Gippal broke off and his jaw dropped to the floor. 'Umm, perhaps I came at a bad time?' The two, upon hearing Gippal's voice jumped apart, as if electrocuted and started blushing furiously. 'Oh ho! Wait until I tell Nooj about this!' He sprinted away and Paine ran off after him, calling out 'Oh no you don't!', leaving Baralai to his thoughts…
That had to be her favourite part by far. But later on, she changed her mind, deciding the part where she was married to Baralai was even better...
