Cloud was overjoyed to have Ramza back with them. His voice was caught in his throat and his exhaustion had him failing to be able to take a step towards his friend but he was happy all the same. For a brief moment, before his attention was drawn to the crystal, he felt like they were being afforded a true happy ending.

Twilight was spared being the only one jumping in reaction to Shakyamuni appearing before them, and he scowled at the explanation they were given. Even if it wasn't spite, he could count on Kalki being reckless enough to do exactly what she did. They kept calling the Heroes shortsighted but none of their foes ever seemed able to look beyond their own fatalism.

And a sacrifice...he looked down and a bit away. He had laid so much on the line for this world. He wanted a happy life but...he'd do this if it meant everyone else could live. Jaune beat him to the asking, but he offered a firm nod in support.
