-Chapter 01-

Quistis sat at the table in her room going through the old photo
album her mother had left to her.

In less than an hour she and the others would meet the mysterious
President of Esthar. The man had occupied the most powerful
govermental seat in the world for nearly eighteen years, and to
this day nobody even knew who he was.

As she went through the photos, she noticed there were several
places where it looked as though pictures had been ripped from
the book. This puzzled her. Who had torn out those pictures
and why? She paused as she saw what looked like a corner of
another picture sticking out from behind a picture of herself
as a baby.

Lifting the top picture, she saw a photo of her mother and a
handsome young man with longish dark hair and deep blue eyes
who was making bunny ears behind her head. Smiling, she turned
the photo over to see if her mother might have written anything
on the back.

##Me and my true love. Just after our child was conceived.##
##Dear Quis', if you're reading that. This nice man is your##
##real dad, not that jerk in the other pictures.##

Quistis smiled. She vaguely recalled her mother's sobs when
she was taken from her by big rough arms and brought to the
orphanage.

"I wish I could've met you, daddy." she sighed, hugging the
picture.
