"[b]Jaakuna you--don't you remember?![/b] Emiri exclaimed, somewhat alarmed. How did he not remember any of this? Aloa's words then hit her: this was what she meant by coaxing him out. She wasn't sure if it was that he had forgotten or if he was in denial. But this false paradise was just that: false. "[b]Jaakuna, listen to me.[/b]" She said very sternly, taking both his hands in hers. "[b]This isn't...none of this is real. You're asleep on the Ifrit right now. Wesley, Nadeline, Savayna and I...we are all waiting for you to wake up. You need to remember what happened...how you told me your darkest secret...we--we aren't married, I haven't even...[/b]" [i]I haven't even confessed to you yet.[/i] She bit her lip nervously.

Aloa listened to him carefully. The prince was troubled, clearly, and at a loss. "[b]We all have our parts to play in this grand world named Ivalice. Things change. The gods are never satisfied with events being constant. They test us, berate us, put us down...but the question is not will you be able to get through these things, the question is, will you learn from your experiences, or will you just let them pass? Even this meeting between you and I was fated.[/b]" She turned to the door. "[b]I blame my age, I have had many years to find myself. You are still young. You will find it, that I am sure of. Rely on your allies and use your experiences: this would be my advice, the words of an old teacher.[/b]" 

She paused for a moment, and then turned to Nadeline, bowing to her. "[b]Until next we meet, for we are not enemies, but simply two different sides of a conflict. I look forward to see if you will have grown.[/b]" She nodded to both Savayna and Wesley, and made her way back to the teleporter.
