[It is not without accident he's kept his distance; those memories still overwhelm Dion, and after Ramuh's -- Cid's -- withering lectures, he'd rather unburden himself before the anger that lives in him finds reason to rise again.
Though he has not felt it since that day. There's something else taking its place; something less likely to ignite, something he feels particularly when he picks up the dragon statue that Claude put so much effort into sending him.
No matter what he is dragged down by, however, he cannot ignore the way Thorne appears to be closing in around him.]
Clive,
Before I further burden you with my concerns... how are you? I hope --
I do not know how to reconcile those memories, and what we became, with what we have stood against together. So I would rather we do not consider those memories at all. Perhaps it was someone's fantasy, but it was certainly not mine.
