[The feed shows a potion being put on a Pokémart shelf. And another. And one more. And then no more.]

Lunch break. Finally.

[The camera turns toward Cecil, who seems in a cheerful mood.]

Have all the new arrivals reached Cherrygrove safely? Do not forget to buy supplies before you leave for Violet.

[But his promising career in advertising does not last long.]

Light, Firion, Squall, Tidus, Bartz, Zidane, Aerith, would you like me to get you anything? I can bring it to you after my shift, or whenever you arrive. If anyone else needs anything...  [He looks to the side.] Oh, is that the new pokéball shipment? Don't worry, I can take care of it.

[The feed ends.]

A thousand years? No wonder you cannot remember.

[He snorts.] That is not unique to humans. Dwarves, Eidolons, Lunarians; their societies work very much the same way. Perhaps the Hummingways also, but I cannot understand their language enough to observe their politics.

My memory is usually very good, but, well, everyone has certain deficiencies after a time.



I think it is most fascinating to be able to gaze into the similarities and the differences between peoples. We can learn so much from each other! Why, the Chinese certainly have the most beautiful silks; they have been around so much longer than I, and I have to give them credit for their art--it is beautiful, although so different from my own.

You're right. Why, ever since our peoples made contact, Baron's engineers and the dwarves have greatly progressed. By comparing their techniques and sharing their discoveries, they have created automatons they could never have imagined before. I'm certain you and China have learned much from each other as well.

You must have been able to see the differences in a single culture over time, along with the others. How lucky! To be able to watch history unfold...

A lot of time has passed between China and I as well as between myself and other nations. Some of it good, some of it bad, and some I can't really say I could categorize as either. I've always thought that it was something of the magic of our existence, that we can be defined in so many ways by those that we meet and surround us, whether we like them or not.



History is a funny thing that way. Very much based on people and easily the stuff of legends, yet, somehow, it maintains the ties that bind us.
