During the course of the pilgrimage, it had become apparent just how much Jecht really cared for his son. Tidus had never seen it that way, but, then again, the boy had only known his side of the story. The rift between the two was obvious enough for anyone to see, and it was why he had made sure Tidus had seen at least one of the spheres during the course of their journey.

Auron waited for the desk girl to leave before continuing. "You came after Braska defeated Sin?" He finally looked Jecht in the eye, his mouth drawn into a tight frown and his expression unreadable. "You felt something before you arrived."

The ex-guardian looked away, most of his face obscured by the high collar and his eye hidden behind his sunglasses, both of which he was thankful for. "It was within Sin." Auron's voice was solemn and quiet, and, if one was listening close enough, they could find a hint of shame beneath his words. If it weren't for the silence of the room, it probably would have gone unheard.
