Garnet: Right... Let's go...

They slowly move down

Vivi: D-do you think I should light the place up a bit?

Garnet: Yeah, duh! Sheesh... You'd think a mage would have some common sense!

Vivi: Well, if you keep THAT attitude up, maybe I WON'T!

Everything turns dark, except Eiko, who is under a bright spotlight

Kuja: So she's not dead? Well, that sucks! Grr... I'm leaving. busts a hole through the door
