[While a good many have approached Kalki with a bit of antagonism or to stand up to her, Cloud comes a bit softer. He wears the strain of the recent battle on his face and makes no effort to hide it.

He's quiet for a moment, unsure whether to ask about Ultima or the crystals or their purpose in the world. And then there is the matter of the other timeline and his and Sephiroth's place in that world.]

Who is Garland...How is he involved in all of this.

[So many questions on his mind. Might as well skip to the one that's the most enigmatic.]

[melodiesofdeath]

[Kalki didn't reply immediately. She kept staring idly at the Crystal, but finally replied to his words.]

Garland is the guardian. An eternal existence created by the Ancients.

[neverfirstclass]

So he's...

[He's what exactly? This was something new. Apart from what he was expecting.]

So he's not human? And how old is he? Kalki, did you meet that girl too? I think she was trying to warn us. To tell me something about him. Do you know what it might be?

[melodiesofdeath]

He's as old as a regular human. His soul is eternal through reincarnation.

[She finally turned at him.]

I know, but it wouldn't be right to tell you.

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud furrowed his brow. Reincarnation? An eternal soul? And yet it seemed reasonable given other things in this world. He frowns at her words, that she clearly knows something but is keeping a lid on it.

He also knows that trying to force her isn't going to get them anywhere.]

Is there anything you CAN tell me? About him? Or about yourself? We all want to save this world from the Calamity, don't we?

[melodiesofdeath]

We don't all have the same means to do so.

[She smiled.]

You should ask Garland himself if you want to know more about him.

[neverfirstclass]

We're not exactly on the best of terms with the Empire, in case you haven't noticed. What do you expect me to do? Walk up to their gates and ask nicely to be let in to talk?

[melodiesofdeath]

You should try doing exactly that within a couple days, yes.

[She will not say anything else on the matter.]
