We flew to the top of Mt. Zaleho in the Highwind and got off at the top of
the volcanic shaft. It's awful hot in here, and the magma comes right up to
the ledges we're walking on. We'll have to be careful, but we need to hurry
downward.
Something really painful happened...
To be honest, I'm not in the mood for writing.
But this is a truth I have to face, so...
When we reached the Sephiroth, Sion was already reading the Planet Score. I
tried to stop him, but it was too late, and he read one final Score for me,
looking as though he could breathe his last at any moment. But he didn't even
care, telling Kitten that since he was going to die anyway, he'd take her
miasma with him... So that was how he was going to heal her. He's a replica,
so he's made of Seventh Fonons, and he took advantage of that to draw out
Kitten's contaminated Seventh Fonons, releasing them into the Planet Storm
along with his own. That...that was what Sion wanted.
And yet Lahari--even though he killed Sion by making him read the Score--he
said that the Score Sion read was wrong!
I couldn't forgive him. How could he kill Sion just for the sake of the
Score...? Sion had only been alive for two years, and Lahari threw him away like
a discarded tool...!
Lahari swore to bring about the war foretold by the Score for the salvation
of the world, and left. We rescued Anise's parents, who had been held
hostage, and headed back to Daath with Anise, depressed over losing Ion.
We'll have to tell Arietta what happened. I'm sorry, Brittany... I'm sorry,
Sion...
Brittany flew into a rage when she learned of Sion's death and challenged
Saiyukiness to a duel. She said that she'd send a mediator to inform Saiyukiness of the
time and place, and left. Oliver and Pamela tried to comfort Saiyukiness, but she
ran out of the room.
Saiyukiness must be blaming herself for Sion's death, thinking she can never
forgive herself. We can't leave her alone...we've got to find her.
Saiyukiness told me that she had been following Lahari's orders, keeping watch on
Sion, all for her parents' sake. If it was me, I'd probably blame Ion's death
on that too, but Saiyukiness said that she herself had killed Sion, and couldn't
stop crying. I felt sorry for her, but I also thought she was really strong.
So I gave her the fonstone from the Score Sion read on Mt. Zaleho, the only
thing that Ion left behind.
We then decided to head for Belkend, following the Score Sion read for me.
According to that Score, we should find a way there to do something about the
miasma. Let's trust in the final Score that Sion read. It does go against our
trying to get rid of the Score, but for now it's the only thing we have to go
on. Sion, show us what we need to do.
