"Hey, Colette, come with me for a sec, kay?" Lloyd whispered into her ear as Professor Sage started preparing dinner. He grabbed her hand and pulled her outside, hoping that Professor Sage wouldn't think he was trying to get out of eating her cooking.

Colette threw him a curious glance as he brought her up to the peak of the mountain. Hima may not have much, but they had the greatest views ever.

"Well, it's your last day as a human, so I thought I'd show you something really pretty," Lloyd admitted sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. Then his face brightened as he turned towards the west eagerly. Sensing his excitement, Colette also turned and gazed out at the Tower of Salvation, wondering what Lloyd wanted her to see. She heard a disappointed sigh from beside her. "Aw man, the Tower of Salvation's blocking it! Sorry, Colette, I guess we can't see the sunset after all..."

Smiling at the sentiment, Colette reached for his hand and turned it palms up, tracing words into it. It's okay, Lloyd. It's enough for me that you wanted to show me something like this.

When she finished writing, a thought occured to her and suddenly her smile was just a little more forced than before.

From Hima, the Tower of Salvation would always block the view of the sunset. Just like how her duty as the Chosen of Regeneration would always block her view of Lloyd.
