He got worse!

Squall sucks.

Our MC is in his bed, confused about what's happening. He's suddenly really into Rinoa and only wants to be with her, so he heads to the infirmary. Rather than sit in the chair, he lurches over her like a creep. He's eventually called to the cockpit.

Edea is back to normal and is more than willing to speak to us. We're near the orphanage, so let's stop there. Cid's with her, but he isn't important. Squall asks mom about what's happened over the last few years. This is another terrible twist, so here's the gist. Another Sorceress from the future, Ultimecia, possessed Edea. Matron thinks her shell was going to be used to free Adel, Esthar's sorceress leader during the Sorceress War a decade ago. Something about changing the past and time compression are mentioned, but Squall's zoning out because none of this helps save Rinoa. Eventually, after returning to Rinoa, Squall falls asleep.

We're with Laguna, and he's a movie star. It's to make money for whatever it is Kiros, Ward, and himself are doing. Laguna, playing the Sorceress' Knight, fights another QTE scene against a Ruby Dragon. We see a strange thing in the distance as we return to Squall. If you paid attention, all of these moves were animations Seifer copied. Squall calls out of Ellone because he thinks he can save her, but Ellone learned she can't change the past. She wanted to save Raine, who died shortly after giving birth, but that will never happen. Squall is still insistent and has a plan.

Squall thinks Ellone can help them. If she sends him back in time, we can learn something. It's time to find the white Seeds. Edea has a note that shouldn't be necessary, and now we need to find the ship. It's a pain in the ass to do, and I hate this game. It's hidden in a bay north of the orphanage. Everyone hates us, but Zone and Watts are here. The SeeD ship saved them when they ran away. Watts tells us Ellone went with an Esthar ship, and the leader of this ship confirms it. They were attacked by Galbadia, but an Esthar fleet met with them. Ellone jumped away to join them "with a smile on her face." Give Zone some porn to get the Shiva card. Do I want this card... We now have to go Esthar, which I'll do...

...tomorrow!

The amount of moodiness Squall displayed tonight was unbelievable. He went from being a loner to an emo in the span of one day. This is character regression.
