And I agree with that, too, but you are missing the point, Hope. Even after this is over, I don't know when we'll see each other again. It's not the same.
All of that can also be true. [. . .] ...I'm the one who ended up going back to fix stuff that went wrong to save them. But because of it, I'm not with them anymore. That's what happened. The dormhead that you knew--[they don't say riku's name in case people are Listening]--is from before any of that happened. He doesn't know.
[ hope nods; it's the same reason he referred to riku simply as "him" earlier. ]
So you're more like Serah or Lightning than me. Haha... I have to wonder if all of this is connected somehow. The reason why people like us get roped into these games... do you think it's because we've already had so much taken from us?
Right. I went back to fix...an anomaly, I guess, and created a different timeline where things changed. But because of that, I lost some of my abilities and I can't go back to where I was before with everybody else.
[they think about this though.]
...maybe it is. Either that or because it's easier to give someone hope of changing something when so much is wrong. That's why you're here, isn't it? You want to save her.

You never wondered why I understood exactly what you were talking about?
