In the pack he brought back from Ivalice, Ramza has his array of healing potions as well. He draws forth a Phoenix Down, which feels warm to the touch and glows a faint red. He doubts it will be as effective in this otherworld, but that matters not. He holds it up.

"We can all agree that Palitutu has chosen her course. She deserves whatever fate awaits her. But when it comes time to choose to show mercy or render justice, it is not a measure of your enemy. It is a measure of yourself."

He looks toward Lust, Jack, Chiaki, and all those who speak for and against. His gaze lingers on Sephiroth for a moment, or more specifically, on his sword, Masamune. The legend went that the great sword cut only that which needed cutting, sparing everything else from the destruction of its blade. It was a story from which many could learn a lesson.

"Allow me administer this Phoenix Down. It will not return all her strength, if it even restores her at all." Who knows how well the item would work here?

"It may takes weeks, or even months, for her to recover from these wounds. We place her in the hospital, under guard. In that time, we will face the Calamity, and Garland. She may awaken to find a world much changed, and that her mistrust of us was ill founded. Or we may all perish. But we will go and face our judgment knowing that we were the kind of Heroes who did not allow a foe to compromise our ideals, nor the kind who struck a blow when it was not absolutely necessary."
