The fire burned easily; the only thing there was no shortage of, anymore, were dead dry things to burn. Sabin tossed a few more handfuls of dry grass onto it. "Do you really think they're out there?"

"You were," Celes pointed out. "If we survived the breaking of the world, I have faith that the rest of us survived as well."

Sabin did not smile. "I always thought...well. Edgar and me. I always thought if something happened to him, wouldn't I know? But I don't. How do you?"

"Terra is alive," said Celes firmly. "And I hold faith Edgar is too." If only because there is a limit to luck, she did not add. One did not wish a man - even a highly aggravating man - dead in front of his twin.

Sabin surveyed the decayed, starlit landscape. So inhospitable even monsters were having a hard time surviving it. He'd been stunned - in a good way - that even Celes had survived the apocalypse. Of course, the question of 'how long' remained unanswered. "I'll take you at your word," he decided.

"They're out there," said Celes. She had not crossed an ocean on a raft to fail now.
