"Hmph." Gareth closed his eyes. "I will mourn forever, and stay true to her memory. You have nothing to fear from me." The memory of that day coursed through his mind. "I'm heading for Windurst soon anyway. Time to give that little football Shantotto a piece of my mind."

"Look, just stop! I'm actually kind of tired of Mira this, Mira that! STOP living in the past!!!" Alicia cried out, slamming her fist on the bed.

Gareth's eyes snapped open to glare at Alicia. "You have no idea what it feels like... to have the one you love die right in front of you while you're unable to do anything about it. Do not presume to lecture me when you don't know anything of which you speak."

"I do! My brother died before me, but you don't see me whining and crying over 'OH MIRA! I MISS YOU! MIRA MIRA BLAH!'" Alicia retaliated with a heavy sneer.

"We save your life and this is how you repay us? I should've left you to die in Dangruf!" Gareth's anger was almost a physical force as his fingers twitched next to his sword hilt. "And to think you reminded me of her... You're nothing more than insensitive trash!"

"I am not! I understand how it feels! But you don't see me sniveling every day over the one I loved!!! My brother was my best friend, killed by beastmen! I only press further, knowing that is what he would want because he doesn't want me to lament and grieve over him for five years! GROW UP A LITTLE!" She screamed.

Stunned by the girl's ferocity, Gareth closed his eyes again. "It is different when the dead one is one you love than when they are family. Would you want a man you love to die right in front of you? Would you not grieve for him?"

Fenn closed his eyes. Alicia... I think you've gained a little respect in my eyes.
"Hmph, Professor Shantotto? There's a shot in the dark." He said. "Well, let's go finish your mission... Alicia."

Gareth turned and left, seething with anger. 'I will not have Mira mocked like that. Her memory is what drives me and holds me back all at once. I live to honor Mira's passing.'

"Yes..." Alicia smiled. "I feel a little better."

Fenn waited several moments before he led Alicia out as well. "Heh..." He said with a smile. "Such a joy to see him so frustrated... But still... He'll be back. So where are we headed?" Fenn looked out as they exited the residential district. "I'm guessing it's just at the Metalworks, right?" He asked, taking a right turn at the first opportunity. "We're right under em, so it should be a short trip."

Gareth stormed through Bastok until he reached South Gustaberg. A sense of malice and rage flowed outward from him, causing the beasts of the area to avoid the man. "Mira... what would you have wanted?"

I would have wanted the both of you to get along... A voice clicked inside Gareth's head as she pressed on.
"Right." Alicia gave a quick nod, running into the Metalworks and to Cid's office. She sighed deeply, turned in the item and received the mission after speaking to the gate guard. It was to actually act as an ambassador for Bastok and travel to every nation...
Great.

"Mira... how could I have heard your voice? Is this a sign of something?" Gareth turned and reentered Bastok, intent on finding Fenn and Alicia.

You've got to cease this hatred... you never could stand him, but... please, for the betterment of the future... you must...

But it's because of him that you died. If it wasn't for him, we would be living happily together. How can I forgive him? Gareth thought to the voice inside his head as he wandered the streets of Bastok.

It was NOT his fault. Mira continued. No one is to blame. You need to accept that... besides, I've always been here.

Mira... how can I forgive the one who would steal my love away from me? You are all I ever wanted, and he still attempted to take you from me. Do you not see why we are destined to be enemies forevermore? Gareth stopped and slid down a wall to the ground. Talking with Mira again was so comforting, yet so hollow as well.

He did not... just... please, believe me... The voice rang loudly.

If only I could travel back to the past. I would have stayed behind to protect you. A lone tear sprang to Gareth's eye. But now you're gone, and I am alone. I will stay forever true to you, Mira.
