[Ophelia wasted no time in zipping over and patting Lucrecia's shoulder, concerned and murmuring "what's wrong kupo?". Vincent had been looking around, trying to assess if there was anything that might provide a clue to 'when' besides the state of the reactor, when the others answered. Then Lucrecia was collapsing in pain and that caught his attention immediately.
No, he hadn't been able to prevent this or save her at all, had he? If they were returned to the state they were pulled from, upon setting foot on Gaia once more, then of course her suffering would return too. Perhaps it was even more cruel, as she was actively aware and mobile instead of encased in her crystalline tomb.]
Gongaga was once the site of a stable Mako reactor. It's remained a small foothill town since I can recall.
[Moving as he speaks, most of his attention on Lucrecia as he crouches down by her. Ophelia has moved to gently holding on to the woman's arm, trying to offer some comfort. Vincent looks up to meet Sephiroth's and Cloud's eyes.]
Judging from your reactions, its state is new to you. In the time I was pulled from however, we had been here and it was as you see. Our visit was only brief though.
[Quiet for a moment, trying to place events. Avalanche had been here, but it had been a second trip apparently for Cloud and Tifa and Barret, when Vincent had been part of the group. They hadn't lingered, only stopped to resupply and the townsfolk had given them enough strange looks that he hadn't pried.]
