Well, there's at least some sort of comfort in that. Of course, Emet-Selch succumbed to despair, so it isn't as though Cid could chat with him about it. Not that he particularly wants to to begin with.

"If Nero were here, he'd already have a theory. Or at least claim to have one." The man is an absolute pain in the arse, but he is, unfortunately, as intelligent as he boasts.

Cid's no better than Estinien at these things, really. "Urianger would have theories, I'm sure, but I'll be honest: I can hardly understand a bloody thing that man says."
