Synopsis: Return to the Farplane
"Do you remember this place?"
"Of course I do!" Tidus said. "How could I forget?"
"Yes, of course you would remember." Yuna replied. She walked further into the circular stone that floated above red waterfalls and further below them, the Elysian-like fields that she had been to, filled with flowers, but barren of life. "I was here."
"Well, yea! You and I came here on your pilgrimage."
Yuna shook her head. "That's not what i mean."
Tidus asked, oblivious, "What do you mean?" He took a step in front of her, looking at the rolling plumes of clouds.
Yuna gazed past him, unanswering, and walked to the edge of the platform. Tidus, alarmed, rushed over.
"Hey! What are you doing? Do you want to fall over?"
She turned to him, eyes searching. "Do you really not remember being there?" Her arm was outstretched over the abyss, fingers pointed down.
Tidus's eyebrows rised, came together in confusion. "What do you mean, Yuna?"
Yuna let her arm fall to her side, and cast her eyes to the multicolored flowers. "I was down there." Upon hearing her lover's gasp of concern. "It was the final leg of my own journey. I came here, trying to find you." Yuna looked back at Tidus's face. "I never saw your image when I went to the Farplane before. And I was glad for that, in a way," she said, "but also it only reaffirmed that fact that you were gone, from even the Farplane. But when I fell down here, and I was so alone, you whistled."
"What?" Tidus' eyes widened.
Yuna continued, "You whistled, out of the darkness of the abyss." Yuna's eyes were bright. "And I followed you out of here." She paused. "I don't think you remember though."
Tidus was silent. Despite the months that had passed since his return to Spira, he had still not truly understood what happened to him after the fayth stopped dreaming. He throught perhaps he was contained within the pyreflies, not as dead, but neither was he alive. From what Yuna had told him of her journey, he supposed he was a memory. But memories didn't act on their own. memories didn't lead people out of the Farplane.
"It's true, I don't remember," he said finally. "But I don't think that matters. The fact is that I helped you, even when I wasn't really me." Tidus smiled. "I was preserved, through those two years, and that's the truth."
Yuna nodded. "It's the truth!"
