[Private to Watanuki, Doumeki, and Agrias]
How are you all faring? Are you all right? I am...sorry that I have not spoken since our separation, as it was simply that I have had little time to do so.
...
It seems that they had caught me. Worry not, however, as they did not mean me any harm. In fact...
I will speak frankly and say that I have little trust for their intentions, but it seems that they have restored me onto the throne of Ivalice, though these are far from the original lands that my Father had once ruled over, and Civil War burnt to ash. I am a Princess once more, though still I remain one only in title.
I hope that you did not suffer any injury in the battle. And...
I am sorry.
[Private to Self]
I suppose age has jaded me; had this been merely a year before, I wouldst have innocently followed them to the ends of the earth, and had never second-guessed them. But...
I will not take what they say at face value. If...if he had the thought to try to deceive me once, and then cause all of that bedlam in order to bring me back...
Then who is to say that the others will not do the same? I shall not be used. Not again. I will not allow what happened to the old Ivalice to happen to this one. I am not fit as a ruler; I will do naught but destroy this land if given free reign, I am certain of it. But I will not allow myself to be used once more, either.
