---Lloyd and Sheena: Heimdall--- Note: You see this scene the day before you fight Kratos if you talked to Sheena in Flanoir. ********** Pan of Heimdall with Sheena walking up the path to Lloyd's room. Lloyd is lying on his bed, looking up at the ceiling when he hears a knock on the door. Lloyd: What is it? Sheena enters. Sheena: Umm, heh...are you still up? Lloyd: ...I couldn't really get to sleep. Sheena: Well, in that case, want some company for a little while? Lloyd: ...Okay then, just for a little while. Shot of the moon above Heimdall. Sheena: So...aren't you nervous? Lloyd: Huh? The two of them are walking along the path to the park. Sheena: About tomorrow. The battle with Kratos. Lloyd: Yeah...a little. Sheena: Right? Of course you'd be. Doesn't...it bother you? Lloyd: What? Fighting with Kratos? Sheena: Yeah. I mean he's your father right? Isn't it kind of difficult to face him? Lloyd: ...The fact that he's my father still hasn't sunk in. When I stop and think about it, it does seem like he helped me out a lot along the way. But he also betrayed us and put us through hell. So accepting the fact that he's my father is harder to deal with than the fact that I have to fight him. Sheena: I see...but I'm still a little envious. Lloyd: Why? Sheena: Well, you know I was abandoned as a child, so I don't have a clue who my parents are. Lloyd: ...Ah. Sheena: I thought about what it would be like if I was in your place. If my parent was my enemy and yet still came to my aid...I think I'd just be all confused. Lloyd: Haha. I'm confused too. Even now. Sheena: Hehehe. Sheena pauses. Sheena: …Well so when I imagined about fighting my own father tomorrow I got really frightened. Lloyd: You did? Haha, you dork. You don't have to put yourself in my shoes that much you know! Sheena: I know! But either way, it nearly drove me crazy...I couldn't take it. Anyway...that's how I felt so I thought maybe you were feeling the same way. Lloyd walks to the bench and sits down on it. Lloyd: Heh. Thanks Sheena. Sheena blushes. Sheena: Ah...nah, it's...a...um...say, what are you planning to do after this? Lloyd: After this? Sheena sits down besides Lloyd on the bench. Sheena: When the worlds are reunited, our journey will be over right? So, what then? Lloyd: Well, I think I want to go on a journey to collect all the Exspheres. Sheena: Oh...that's a good idea. Could I...come along with you? Lloyd: Huh? You don't have to go back to Mizuho? Sheena: ...I...I want to be with you. Lloyd: ...S...sure, I want to be with you too. Sheena stands up excitedly. Sheena: R...really?! (giggles) Then it's settled, okay? You can't change your mind now! We're going on a journey to collect all the Exspheres in the world! Lloyd: Yeah. That way, no more people will fall victim to the Exspheres, and these things will never be dragged into a conflict like this again. Sheena*crossing her arms*: It's a promise. If you don't keep it. I'm going to invoke the Mizuho tradition of making a liar swallow a thousand needles. Lloyd stands up to face Sheena, who has uncrossed her arms, the full moon in the background. Lloyd: Whoa...okay, okay, I promise. ********** Zanza's Take on the scene: This is my absolute FAVORITE scene in Tales of Symphonia, at least from a romantic standpoint (because there were a LOT of great scenes in the game ^_^). Sheena finally comes out and tells Lloyd how she feels and, luckily for Lloyd, he manages to come out with his feelings. If you play the scene, you'll hear how Lloyd doesn't stutter about in confusion. It's a dead on "I want to be with you too." You'll never hear this kind of romance with any other character in the game. It was well done and doesn't put either of them out of character either. I give the writers credit for that. |
