this was born from one of those moments when i was working on something entirely different, but had a random thought. that random thought became the first line of this interlude. i then sat on that for a few minutes before the next line came and by that point, i realized that it was lulu's. i don't hate this one, but i'm not sure what i do feel for it. but its finished, and it was way easier than i thought it was going to be. its also a little depressing, but what else can i expect from lulu?

Yuna will die.

No matter how much we may wish that it will be different, that there is something we can do to change it, Yuna will die. That is the price one pays to become a Summoner.

And living with that knowledge is the price one pays for being a Summoner's Guardian.

A third Pilgrimage would have been more than most Guardians could stand, especially after the way my first ended, but how could I have let the girl I considered my adopted sister go to her death without me? The guilt of letting her go off to die alone would have worn at me more than the guilt of letting Chappu go had.

Wakka understands; he is traveling with Yuna for the same reasons. Kimahri understands, too, though Yuna has always been more of a daughter to him than sibling. We are all family, the four of us, and we cannot let the youngest of us go away alone.

Sometimes I believe that, anyway. Other times, I think that we are all going on this Pilgrimage in the hopes that we will meet up with the families we lost so long ago.
