Hm... that does sound like him, but I met him in Olympus. There was this guy there, a trainer of true heroes -- the Zack I met wanted to get trained on how to be one. He was pretty excited about it. [To put it lightly.

Still... Zack couldn't have jumped worlds, could he?]

But... if he's here in crystal stasis, he must've shown up in the last few months, right? And I just saw him right befo--

[Ven immediately cuts himself off as he remembers. Right... the time gap. It didn't feel that long for him, but for everyone else...]

...Never mind. It was a long time ago. [After a short pause, his mood picks up again.] Well, anyway -- I guess I'll have to visit the hospital when we get back. Even if it's not the same guy, he sounds like a really good friend.
