Excerpt from Article 85474, The End or The Beginning

As for Rinoa Heartilly, our young sorceress, rumour had it that she was under the stars with her young knight, Commander Squall Leonhart. It is said the young couple fell in love during the war and plan to marry later this year.

Sometime close to moonset, Selphie came running over to a group of woman, most likely those that had flocked to Irvine. She had been screaming at the top of her lungs. "I think he is really sick this time!" she was screaming. When I asked my nearest neighbour as to what might have sent the bouncy hero off the edge I was rewarded with shrugs and bewildered glances.

I watched as the whole hero gang rushed toward the balcony. From my vantage in the crowd I could tell that they were concerned over the Commander.

I am please to announce that the Commander is perfectly fine. According to Quistis, who was sent to disperse the crowd and alleviate our fears, the Commander had only smiled.

As to why Selphie thought that he might be sick we will never know, but by reputation it is said the Commander never smiles. I wonder if the story was fabricated to make us all feel better or if it was truth. But since nobody saw the Commander for three days after the celebration we will not know if he was truly ill or if he just smiled.
