Oerba dia Vanille looked into the night sky and saw Cocoon floating. She felt tears come to her eyes and she had no idea why. She supposed it was because of Fang. She didn't mind one bit being alone with Sazh, but she felt so alone. It was as if the one person from the whole world was taken from her. She supposed it was Fang. It would have to be, but as soon as she turned her head down and shut her eyes to cry, a man's image popped into her head. His hair was dirty blonde, and his eyes the most beautiful blue she had ever seen. He was very handsome. He was reaching for her, but as soon as she opened her eyes, he was gone. Sazh went over to her and asked, "You alright Vanille?"
"Yeah. Just my home, you know?"
"Alright, just makin' sure".
Sazh patted Vanille's back and checked something. Vanille didn't want to lie to Sazh, but she was so unfamiliar with this memory. His face was so familiar, but she didn't know him at all. When she lied down to sleep and closed her eyes, a swarm of images came. It was her and the man and they were kissing, then he was playing a game with a ball, and then she was holding a chain with a pendant on it. She somehow knew that that sign to her somehow meant hope. When she opened her eyes, the images were gone, and when she closed them again, the images didn't come back for awhile.
