_________Zidane?

I have always wondered what Zidane's past was... and then I came upon a part in the game. I think that I would not be able to explain it any better that it was in this part. Obviously, there is more to Zidane's past than this, but this is part of it... This part is from Disc 2, when Zidane and the rest of them are in Black Mage Village.

Dagger: Zidane... Vivi just walked out.

Zidane: Maybe he’s letting us have a little romantic quiet tine.

Dagger: *puts hands on hips* I’m serious!

Zidane: ... I wouldn’t worry too much.

Dagger: But...

Zidane: He’s trying to figure out something for himself.

Dagger: ...

----> A small part goes by where you see Vivi with dialogue from Zidane and Garnet’s conversation...

Dagger: Hey Zidane... when you said home...

Zidane: What’s the matter? Can’t fall asleep? How about a bed time story? Let’s see... Once upon a time...

Dagger: There you go again, teasing me...

Zidane: Once upon a time... there was a man.

Zidane: There was a man who didn’t know where he came from...

Dagger: ... Zidane?

Zidane: This man had longed to find his birthplace ever since he was a small child. His birthplace. A place he only remembered in his dreams...

Dagger: Why...?

Zidane: He wanted to know more about himself, maybe. About his parents, the house where he was born... Once day, the man left the home of his adoptive father and went on a quest to find the answer. His only clue was the blue light he saw in his dreams.

Dagger: A blue light?

Zidane: Yeah. He thought it might be a memory of his birthplace. An ocean, maybe...?

Dagger: Did he find it?

Zidane: Hey, you’re jumping ahead. A lot of things happened along the way. Alright, we can skip ahead.

Zidane: How could he? His only clue was a colored light. So he went back to the home of his adoptive father... What do you think his father did when he came home?

Dagger: Welcomed him home?

Zidane: No way! The father raised his fist and beat the son he had worked so hard to raise.

(hears beating sounds from Baku hitting Zidane)

Dagger: Why?

Zidane: I don’t know... But you know what surprised him even more? The father smiled, after beating up his son! Can you believe that?!? He just gave his son a beating. But this is what the man thought when he saw his father smile...

This is my home. This is the place I call home. The man is still looking for his birthplace. But he already has a home. Maybe... ... it’s the same for Vivi. He’s looking for a place to call home.

Dagger: I wonder if Vivi will stay in this village?

Zidane: Who knows... That’s for him to decide.
