Summary: Terra wants to know how Celes lives with what she's done.

Celes notices Terra's presence as soon as she starts to approach, but as she is an ally and not a threat, she disregards it and continues to clean her weapon. Terra stands some ten feet to her left, hands clasped in front of her, and seems about to speak a half-dozen times before she forces the words out.

"Did you send me on missions?"

Celes examines the edges of the rune blade for chips or imperfections. "I did."

"Did I...What sort of missions?"

"I did not bring you with me to Maranda, if that is the source of your concern." The edge is flawless. She sheathes the sword. Terra is still standing there, hands twisting together. "What is it you really want to know, Terra?"

"I want to know what I did. I want to make amends."

"What you did was not of your own volition," Celes says. "You were used. Make your peace with it however you will."

"How do you make your peace with it?"

"I don't."
