We talk a lot about Balthier opening up to Fran, but think about Fran opening up to Balthier ! One day Fran looks hella sad. Balthier, after giving her time and space, finally ask her what’s going on. « It happened. I don’t hear the forest anymore » and balthier doesn’t need to say anything, he is here for her.
