[A lot of questions. Snow took his time before answering, unsure of where to start first.
Well. He might as well start with the last question asked and work his way backwards.]
I don't know. [Not the most helpful response, but it was an honest one. And honesty was always the best route, right?]
Does it matter? Who cares why? There's no reason that's good enough to justify something like this. These are people's lives they're playing with. Including ours!
[Ever the Patron of Yusnaan. Still the politician he wanted to shake. Still capable of making speeches in an attempt to woo people to his side. Part of Snow wanted to kick his own ass, but he knew this was the only way.]
I had to go Cie'th to see it. I know that's not a perfect answer as to how I know, but... it just is. Going Cie'th, coming back... I bet they never expected that. It broke whatever hold they had on me, and trust me, something like this changes you. It helps you see things you were blind to before. This is the second time now that I've... [Nope. Still can't talk about it. He sighed at himself.]
It was that Black Crystal that brought me back, otherwise I'd still be a monster. So to answer your question, no, not all of the Moogles and everyone is in on it. Honestly? I don't think most of them even know. But the ones who do know are here, and they're trying to help us. Help us break free of this whole thing, help us get home. This ceremony is our first step there. It won't happen overnight, but at least we're working at it. And if we go home? There won't be any Heroes of Light left here to destroy the world. Everyone wins. It's only right!
I won't let you guys go Cie'th. And I won't let you destroy the world, either. Help us, here. We all want the same thing - I'm sure of it!
[Phew. It was quite a speech. He could only hope it got through.]
