Its here where Cid thinks out loud and is totally misinterpreted by Maria for the first time.
Naturally he doesnt recognize two of the lowest-ranked Garden members.
Joining Garden wasnt the cure-all she thought it would be.
The last thing poor Rose needs is people reinforcing her delusions!
Unfortunately, thats not the only blow 666/Rose endures this week.
I cant blame her!
Princess Rose is where she is because thats where Shadow wants her.
Thats for Shadow to know and Gamma & Co. to find out.
Of course, this is all a complete fantasy!
Cid is, as always, making shit up as he goes along.
Maria thinks hes talking about breakfast, and says shes fine making it on her own.
He can respect hustle, and vows to help Rose become the next ruler.
I love their dynamic so much.
She came so close to giving up so many times, but never did.
Cids wanderings through the bombed out town bring him to the hideout of the bandits who robbed Maria.
He learns they picked the side of the cult, and talk about a legendary treasure in the mountains.
He recites to them the only law of Lawless City:The strongest guy is always right.
That makes him right.
Whether Cid intended it or not, she happens to catch a momentary glimpse of Shadow.
I love how hes reflected in her green eye.
The first thing Cid wants to know is where the ruins are, because he wants treasure.
Instead, 559 reports 666s defection.
Cid doesnt get it, wondering if thats an Employee ID number or something.
As 559, 664, and 665 continue to bicker, Cid isnt really paying attention.
Like Maria, 559 misinterprets these words to mean he agrees with her recommendation.
If theres one thing me and Cid agree on, its that such a marriage cant happen.
