It was the strangest thing to imagine and Vanille might not have believed it if she hadn't seen it every day of her life and then actually traveled there. From the inside, it really looked exactly the same. It was impossible to tell the difference.

"I think so," she says. "They crafted Cocoon just for our Focus. But we won't let them destroy it." Not anymore. Thinking back to how far she and Fang have come, it's amazing. Incredible that they have a new family made up entirely of the enemy. Never would she have imagined it possible.

"Yep. Fang was here for a little while. I guess she's back on Cocoon now." At least, that's the hope.

She nods at that. They're stuck all right. "You either complete your Focus and turn into a crystal statue for eternity or you don't and you go Cie'th. Except... Fang and I were turned into crystal once, after failing our Focus the first time. We woke up on Cocoon hundreds of years later. So... maybe there's a chance we can defy our Focus this time. We want to save Cocoon. We just have to figure out how."
