This week's video is kind of short, I realize. I also missed it on Friday because…
OK, I honestly don't remember Friday right now. I remember there was a nice little PTS-freezeup. But when the day ended I was DEAD TO RIGHTS. There could have been an earthquake—well, ANOTHER earthquake—and I'd've slept through it much like the last one.
Hey, maybe if I move to California, I'll get more sleep. xD
What's your WebStory today?
You know, I could wax poetic about the curbstomp that was the defeat that goes here today, but instead of doing that, I shall provide a battle replay, and a mini-fic. I’d finally developed a strategy—after the defeats of Prishe, Laguna, Lightning and Yuna—but somewhere along the line something went wrong and I panicked.
…then
everything went wrong.
In the space of a few moments I went from rage, to dis pear despair, and then looped right back to incoherent rage.
You know the moment: the moment when you realize you’re doomed, when the line from Dante’s Inferno comes to mind unbidden—“Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here…”
( The Inferno, Regnum Dei [The Kingdom of God] )
The kicker is, my answer to this one is kind of pathetic. It was a foregone conclusion: that Kain, Yuna, Tifa, Laguna, Vaan, and Lightning would not be making it to the other side of this fight. Their journey would end at the Rift, where they would fight to destroy the source of the endless horde of manikins.
Knowing it is one thing.
Seeing it is another.
( Spoilers are a foregone conclusion! )
