Dialogue
Alisaie: Well, this is the moment of truth. I'll have our hosts bring Ga Bu to us at once. Storm Private: Apologies for the wait. Alisaie: Ga Bu. Have you been good? Ga Bu: ... Storm Private: Still no change, I'm afraid. He just stands there in silence until we move him. Alisaie: It's all right now. We're going to help you get better. Alphinaud: Fancy meeting you here. Alisaie: Alphinaud! Y'shtola! I thought you were attending to primal matters. Y'shtola: We were, and came here for a meeting on the subject. Certain pirate factions did not deign to attend, however, and it was canceled. Alphinaud: We had resigned ourselves to having wasted a journey when we chanced to espy you. Alphinaud: Could it be that there has been progress with the treatment? Alphinaud: Using magitek terminals to formulate the solution... I would never have contemplated such an approach. Y'shtola: So this new magick, adapted from memory transference, would be used to purge the subject of their fanatical faith, while Angelo would be responsible for reanimating the aether of their soul... Hm. Y'shtola: Yet I wonder at the practicalities. If one were to reanimate the soul first, it would only serve to exacerbate the tempering. Conversely, a stagnant soul would not respond to the effects of the magick. Y'shtola: Would both need to be performed simultaneously? G'raha Tia: Nothing escapes Master Matoya's inquiring eye! As you say, both must be carried out simultaneously, and thus I propose to imbue Angelo with the tempering treatment in much the same manner as I did the spirit vessels. Alisaie: By doing so, we also spare G'raha the trouble of casting spell after spell. It's really rather efficient. G'raha Tia: Be that as it may, certain difficulties are unavoidable: the imbuing process will still require no small amount of aether. G'raha Tia: And as I can no longer draw upon the Crystal Tower's stores of energy, I will be compelled to rely on those of others. Alphinaud: Well, I for one would be glad to assist. Y'shtola: As would I. Since the resumption of our duties, it has been naught but stuffy meetings, and I have ample aether to spare. G'raha Tia: Excellent. With your permission, then, let us begin. G'raha Tia: Yes, this will do! G'raha Tia: And now it's my turn! G'raha Tia: 'Tis done... Alphinaud: “No small amount,” indeed... G'raha Tia: Well...we seek to go where even the Allagans did not. It was never like to be easy. G'raha Tia: The rest is up to you, Alisaie. The treatment itself will take time and focus, so we will need a quiet room. I'm sure our hosts can spare one. G'raha Tia: I will go with her. It may be a while before we return, so I would ask for your patience...and your faith. Alisaie: We'll bring Ga Bu back. You see if we don't! Alphinaud: 'Twould seem our part is played. Let us find a place to recuperate while we wait for news.
Speak with Alphinaud
Alphinaud: Well, this seems as good a spot as any to have a rest. Alphinaud: For years, Eorzea has labored to find a solution to the primal problem, without success. Any hope that tempering could be reversed faded long ago. Alphinaud: I myself had given it up as impossible─given up on the tempered and the Light-corrupted alike. They were problems to be tolerated, or else eliminated, I believed, and to think otherwise was pure naivety. Childishness, even. Alphinaud: But Alisaie refused to give up. She struggled, and she struggled...and her efforts were rewarded with a way to bring back Halric. And now countless others may no longer be beyond salvation. Alphinaud: However much we bicker, I have the greatest respect for my sister. Had I half her stubbornness─nay, her unwillingness to accept the status quo, I would be a far better person. A far better Scion.
1) Well, if it's any consolation, she's in awe of your work. 2) Don't tell me, tell her. -> Well, if it's any consolation, she's in awe of your work. Alphinaud: She told you of my graduation thesis? How very...embarrassing. Alphinaud: Nonetheless, it is comforting─and not a little surprising─to hear that I'm still capable of impressing my sister. On the rare occasions I'm not annoying her, that is.
Alphinaud: Alisaie! Are you all right? Y'shtola: The treatment─did it work? Ga Bu: I'm so glad to see you all! Delighted, happy, glad! Alphinaud: Ga Bu! Ga Bu: All this time, my mind was filled with thoughts of Great Father Titan. Ga Bu: But I never forgot about Mother and Father. Always, they were in my heart. Constantly, ever, always. Ga Bu: So I tried to focus on their faces. Theirs and yours. Alisaie's and everyone's. And I found that I could remember. One thing, then another, and another! G'raha Tia: Your hopes reached Ga Bu.
