Lloyd stared blankly at the wall; he was in complete and utter disbelief. 2000 years? That was impossible! There's no way that he could have been dead for 2000 years. He remembered clearly that just the other day he was out training with his father; out in that grassy field near Ymir. And what happened to his father? Why wasn't Kratos with him? Was he brought back for a reason? Was he supposed to do something? No. That was absurd. What use was he?
Lloyd had many questions that went without answers. But he was tired. He just needed some rest...some time to sort things out.
He directed his attention to the bed on the opposite side of the room. He slowly got up and walked over to it. He yawned as he laid down, not even bothering to take off his shoes.
He allowed his mind to wonder for awhile...thinking things over carefully...But something just dawned on him...'I'm a 4000 year-old man now...' he thought, 'creepy...' He chuckled as he fell into a deep sleep.

"I'm worried..." Yuan said pacing back and forth in his office, "These events are just to...odd..."
"What are you going to do?"
"I...don't know..." He replied to the Renegade. "Let's just watch things carefully for now..."
"Yes Sir! And the tree? What do you want us to do about the tree?"
"Watch that carefully as well...If it gets worse...alert me immediately!"
"Right!"
With that, the Renegade set off.
'The great tree is dying...what am I going to do?' he wondered, 'Was Lloyd brought back for that purpose? This is all to much to be just mere coincidence...' He bounced down onto his chair, placing his elbow on the table and his chin in his hand, he sighed. 'But why just Lloyd? Why not Kratos as well? What is our lady Martel planning?'
