§ Crono is missing   Elder: Um! You're awake! You were delirious. Lucca: Crono!! Where's Crono? Elder: We found no one else... Lucca: So it wasn't a dream... Frog: Be this the Earthbound village? Elder: This island was the only refuge left, after the Ocean Palace disaster. Lucca: This is so depressing. No era is safe, and there isn't much of a future to look forward to. Frog: Whither hath old man Melchior gone? Elder: When the disaster struck, an eerie, black portal materialized. Melchior tried to save Janus, but he was also dragged in. Frog: A "black portal"? A GATE!!! Lucca: ... What about Schala? Elder: I don't know. No one has seen her since. Frog: Epoch! What fate has befallen it? Elder: Your ship is quite sturdy and safe. It's almost as if it followed you here... Oh, this must be yours. Lucca: Marle's pendant... the one that Crono kept for her. Elder: It was at your side, like a guardian... Lucca: Crono... Elder: Take all the time you need to rest. I will be in the commons. § back
