Seymour Guado had been defeated four times and he still refused to give up trying to be Sin and slammed his hand onto the rocky wall beside him. The Farplane was such a lovely place to the living with the grove of flowers that the spirits came to visit with them, but this was the deep Farplane, where the spirits of the dead had actual houses and such. Not too far from a small house of long dead summoner Lord Jimka, Jimka's final summoning and most trusted guardian Umi, was staring at the Maester of Yevon. Seymour took no notice of the girl who stood with her arms crossed, for if he had, he would have noticed the expression of confusion on her face. He was watching the view portal to the realm of the living.

"I will become Sin!" his exasperated voice cried over the Farplane. Few peered out at the half-guado, as they were getting used to that by now. Umi still watched him cautiously. Being a dead guardian wasn't easy. Especially after the 75 years she was Sin. She could not understand why someone wanted to be Sin so badly. She walked towards the man, her long coat swishing along behind her, the sleeves so long that the covered her hands. The pants she wore looked somewhat like Jecht's shorts, being as they were torn to just 6 inches below the knee. She wore no shirt, but in it's place, bandages were wound around her chest. Her white hair was tied up in the style a samurai would have worn, but long fringes were covering her eyes, which were a reddish color. Silvery lines traced her face as if she were some part guado herself. She stopped behind Seymour as he muttered on and on about his wish.

"Why is it so important to you, Maester of Yevon Seymour Guado, that you become Sin?"

"To cleanse Spira," he replied impassively.

"Being Sin isn't all that great." She left him soon afterwards to his musings on Sin. She headed towards the house of the summoner she had guarded. Lord Jimka was sitting in his finest robes. The robes were of a red hue and the sleeves were actually rather short for such a robe.

When Umi had flopped onto the ground beside the summoner, "Is he special to you in some way?"

Umi cut a sideways glance at Jimka. "Pray tell Lord Jimka, where do you get such a notion!"

"I see you watching him a lot."

"Only watch him because no one believes that he tried to use that pretty summoner." Jimka laughed.

"You surely jest!" Umi narrowed her eyes behind the fringes of hair that covered them.

"Shut-up Jimka, you know nothing." Jimka looked at Umi, who was glaring at him.

"You're serious are you not?"" Jimka gulped.

Umi was about to answer when Seymour's voice rang out cutting her off, "NOOOOOOOO!" the whole of the spirits looked from where ever they could at the half-guado man. Umi stood and wandered away from lord Jimka to visit with Lord Braska. She blinked at the summoner and his al bhed wife, who were shocked at Seymour's actions as he screamed "MY CHANCE! THEY DESTROYED SIN WITHOUT THE FINAL SUMMONING!" a shocked silence ensued as Jecht tumbled into the Farplane city. Braska was the first to help his friend up from the ground. All the past summoners ran up to Braska to congratulate him on his daughter's victory. All the guardians went to Jecht after the summoner had been led off. All talked at once in two large groups. Umi smirked a bit and began to wander off towards the Maesters of Yevon, which now included the sulking Seymour. She put a hand on his shoulder.

When he looked up she asked him, "Why cleanse Spira with death?"

"To end Spira's suffering." She removed her hand, but watched his expression.

"You really think that will end all suffering?"
