[Reeve and Kadaj haven't been around lately, oddly, and Sephiroth feels somewhat restless, though she's not one to reach out and express her feelings. The Vine is still here for her, however. Quiet companion as it is, she's always found it, a living creature with a definite function, relatable.]

I've been here quite some time. More than a year. A year and two months, approximately. It feels like a significant length of time, but I haven't forgotten my home, my friends, the war. [Yet there's a slight note of resignation in her tone. She's a bit fatigued by her long stay.]

Many people that were once here have gone. [She's not sure, yet, if Reeve and Kadaj will be included in that number.] To those of you who are more recent arrivals, I have made a study of the Gardens throughout the months I've been here. I will be glad to help you, if I can, to offer you any information.

Others, I'm sure, have learned much since they arrived. Perhaps we could pool our knowledge.

How many of you have made significant findings? How many of you wish to discover all we can about this place, to return home? Or are you content to wait?
