"You will always miss her, Yuffie. 'Tis a pain that never fully goes away," he told her honestly. Ramza still ached for his and Alma's mother, years after her passing. "But she chose you, and that cannot be changed."

He released her and searched through his pockets for a handkerchief to offer her.

"So all you can do is dry your tears and live your life the way she would want you to. It has nothing to do with worth or royal blood...she traded her life because she loves you. You shall live yours because you love her. Can you do that?" he asked, catching her teary eyes once more.
