[Author’s
note: Set after Ridorana, somewhere near Balfonheim, such as Cerobi Steppe]

p.1
Vaan: It blossoms even in here… Brother…


p.2 FlashBack

Reks: Vaan..
Vaan: Eeh ? This flower again? What was its name again?
Reks: Galbana Lilies
Vaan: You really like them don’t you brother?
Reks: Well… Especially during such difficult times.
         A color that reminds us to stay
strong and an elegant perfume which calms down our hearts, isn’t it perfect?


p.3 -Back in present day-

Balthier : Hey Vaan
                …….. Vaan !!
Vaan : Ah… it’s you
Balthier : What are you doing here ? -Such a lame reaction-
Vaan : Just walking around a bit. And you waccha doing?
Batlhier : Me ? I guess I will walk around too
-Chibi Vaan: “I guess” ??-
[Balthier notices the flower]


p.4

Balthier : Were you admiring this flower ?
Vaan : It’s a Galbana Lily… My Brother loved them…
           After Reddas’ sacrifice I
wanted to take my mind off things but… [litt. After what Reddas has become]
           Aaah…~ !
           I had to find this flower
here !

p.5
Vaan : [looks annoyed] When I could finally live without thinking of my
Brother.
Balthier : Wasn’t your brother someone really important to you ?
Vaan : He was ! That’s why… that’s why it hurts…
           I loved him… He was
everything…
           I’m… I know that I…

p.6
Vaan : [crying] I Know I’m still running away from the past
           It sucks… I can’t do Ashe
honor in this state.
           I’ve told her before… that I
was done running.


p.7

Vaan: And yet I found a flower and now I’m crying, I’m too weak (litt. uncool)
           I can’t smile anymore! And in
front of you!
Balthier : Vaan…
Vaan: It’s the worst…
          [clearly upset] I’ve come so
far and I’m still crying, and for you to see me like this !
Balthier: Vaan…
Vaan: I wanted to be strong but I’m weak !!
Balthier : Stop already
Vaan : I…
Balthier : Vaan !!


p.8

[firmly hugs Vaan to comfort him]


p.9

Balthier : It’s all right… stop blaming yourself Vaan…
                For me… even when you
don’t smile, when you’re not fooling around, when you cherish the memory of
your beloved brother… I don’t find it embarrassing…
                If you feel like crying,
I will lend you my shoulder [litt. my chest].
                So you can cry as much
as you want.

I wanted to tell you too! To think you comforted me, you didn’t have to…
          Also… Right! I ended up crying
so loudly in your ears, sorry ‘bout that !!
          And… yeah… I went back here
leaving you alone… anyway…
          I’m deeply sorry for all the

Balthier: Why are you running away anyway?


p.23

Balthier: What I did yesterday… I know I was wrong. I apologize.
                I kissed you all of a
sudden, it’s only natural that you would be surprised.
                So… Would you forget it?


p.24

Vaan: … you kidding right ?
           Since yesterday it hurts, I’m
all gloomy I couldn’t even eat !
          I don’t get it but I can’t
even look at you my heart pounding in my chest…
Balthier : Wait a minute… !

p.26
Balthier: You… You’re falling for me~?
Vaan: Wh… Of course not!!!
Balthier: Why aren’t you running out of here?
               If I’m wrong, you can
leave calling me all the names you want
Vaan: I… I…
Balthier: To be honest, I was worried because you were avoiding me but… There
was no need to worry.


p.27

Balthier: And… You already know it right?
               It’s in my nature to
(want to) obtain any treasure I encounter.
Vaan: ………. Eh?
Balthier: Really…?
Balthier: Stop fooling around! Understand how I feel!
