"It is love." Her expression gentles, but it comes of course with a deep seated sadness. "We were literally fated to be together." That doesn't mean they stayed together, but it was part of their timeloop, whether they knew it or not, for the two of them to meet and fall in love. Rinoa doesn't see that as fate intervening in a way she didn't want; loving Squall took time but it was true. "But you're not wrong. It's funny, because I lived without him all these years, but suddenly I felt like I was nothing without him." She can see that clearly, and why it was wrong. Unhealthy, even.

Rinoa forces a smile for him. "Yes, of course. We have to believe we'll go home. Although not everyone would be happier there." She thinks Nida and Seifer are happier here, and if Squall was with her, she'd feel the same way. "I wish they'd tell us what they wanted from us, so we could do it and make new choices. At least with the sorceress, we understood why. IT was psychotic and evil, but the why still made sense."
