001; birth.

[Everyone's screen should show two memories. One is stifling, in a dark, dark place, with murals of terrible creatures on the wall. There's a girl which is not a girl; both full of life and shadowed by death, both young and vigorous and old and so, so tired. And there's the warrior himself, coming from, being formed by the light itself; possessing the body of a man; yet only seconds old - baptized with conflict - and silently looking away.]

012; death.

[The transmission isn't finished. It shows what happened before the Warrior found himself in Terminal Tokyo - taking on an army of crystalline attackers, not giving an inch. He's burned, frozen, sliced, clubbed and pierced, but he will not- shall not - ever give. A woman at the back of him silently watches, until she acts.

As she vanishes, the Warrior appears to drop dead and vanish himself, awakening amidst bodies and bodies of fallen - which raise; and are consumed by fire. Those which remember Lightning from her time in Terminal Tokyo are more than welcome to spot her; and Squall, if watching, will most likely see his own body there.]
