I went ahead and caught a chocobo since there's a trophy connected to it. I usually don't bother with FFVIII's chocobo mini-game because it's nothing special, and the only thing you really need it for is to be able to get the Ragnarok back on Disc 4. That being said, I forgot how rockin' FFVIII's chocobo theme is!

When we arrive at Trabia Garden, it's pretty clear that the missiles wrecked it badly, but that doesn't stop Selphie from going in. I like the song that plays here, "Where I Belong." It's a more melancholy version of the upbeat piano tune, "Ami." Naturally, everyone at Trabia Garden is cheered up by Selphie's presence, but you occasionally get to see her drop the mask and show her sadness, like if you go into the graveyard where those who died from the missiles are buried.

We all meet up at the basketball court and everyone ponders the meaning behind everything that's going on so far. Zell wonders if the sorceress was just living a normal life before all of this or if she was waiting in the shadows for this opportunity. Quistis asks why she's searching for Ellone, wondering if there's somewhere in the past the sorceress is trying to get to as well.

When Selphie shows up, the music transitions to the aforementioned "Ami." She asks Squall to take her with him to fight the sorceress because she wants her revenge. Then Rinoa steps forward and asks if there isn't another way that could possibly avoid bloodshed. In his mind, Squall says it'd be great if someone could, but no one's really doing anything to get toward that goal because they're too scared. They only pretend to think up alternate solutions while criticizing others who can't come up with anything either.

Squall doesn't understand why Rinoa's talking like this all of a sudden. He wants her to understand that he grew up in Garden and now he's a SeeD, which means this battle is inevitable. Almost as if reading his thoughts, Rinoa says that he has to voice his feelings or she won't understand. He says that she was part of a resistance movement in Timber that actually took action rather than just talk big, so he wants to know what's causing her to react this way. She admits that she's getting scared. When they're just casually hanging out as friends, she feels like they're all on the same wavelength, but once the battles start, everyone else picks up the tempo and she gets left behind. She's afraid that one day they'll get too far ahead for her to find them again, that one day things will change too much for them to ever be the way they were again. Rinoa is the one person who didn't grow up in Garden, so it makes sense that there are times when she feels like an outsider.

Irvine steps in and says he understands her fear, a fear that someone she wants to see might not be there anymore. It's tough to live that way, but that's why he fights. Picking up a basketball and taking a shot, he starts to reminisce about when he was a little kid in an orphanage (For the record, Irvine can make or miss the shot based on the number of battles you've won. I don't go out of my way to fight a ton, so he's never made the shot in any of my files).
