Well, it's been lonely at times. ( Oh boy, where to begin with this long explanation... )

When I said it had been awhile, I truly did mean that. Thirteen years, actually. Yes, we did all wake up at the same time but that's when something strange happened. Light vanished, pulled somewhere far beyond our reach...

Then you left to find her, then Sazh and Dajh vanished one day too and Serah as well. I met Serah again three years ago; she's traveling through time, you know. Fixing the paradoxes that have surfaced throughout the timelines in order to find Light and bring her back.
