Well, that's done it. One moment, Chappu is all sun and laughter and so full of life that I'm drunk with it; the next moment he's being very much a /man/. No, a boy. I'm not some trophy cup to be kept on a shelf in his hut for him to admire and show off to friends. I understand that he's angry because he loves me, and I might not make it back. But he should have at least a little faith in my skills. I will be careful. I don't intend to lose him any more than Yuna.
Yes, that's the difference! None of us wanted Yuna to become a Summoner. But she has the talent. How/ dare/ we forbid it? Let her train, let her learn; she can heal and bring hope to Spira in so many ways that have nothing to do with Sin. Yevon willing, she'll never have to set off on pilgrimage, but if she must, then I will watch over her with Kimahri. I won't cage her or refuse to acknowledge her special gifts. Chappu must grant me the same respect.
When I refused to budge, Chappu asked to come along, but he's a blitzball player, not a Crusader. He doesn't know the first thing about fighting. I'm sorry for telling him so, but there's no point in his pretending to be something he's not. How could I protect a Summoner while fretting about his safety?
I hurt him badly. He crossed a line, but that's no excuse. I must try to make it up to him before we leave.
Lady Ginnem's boat arrives in the morning. I hope she'll forgive prying questions. I'm sure she'll have a few for me as well. We must be certain of one another. Our lives -- and perhaps all of Spira -- will depend upon it.
How strange. Of course, I'd be gratified to help usher in the Calm and end Sin's terror. I long to see the day when children can grow up without the faintest idea what it's like to watch a Summoner dance for their loved ones. But I'm not noble enough to sacrifice personal joy for the greater good. That's not why I'm going. I'm just tired of losing those I love.
Never again. I'm sorry, Chappu.
Speaking of Yuna, where is she? She missed the evening meal again. I wonder if Binna is being especially hard on her, so that Yevon cannot accuse him of showing favoritism. If so, I'm sure she'll manage.
