Summary
“My husband was unfaithful to me,” Ignis says. “He met a man at one of the nightclubs where he bounces. They went to a hotel together when I was working late. A third man joined them there.”
He relates the facts in a dispassionate voice. It’s easier that way. Dissociating his feelings from his statements makes them less painful somehow.
“And that’s what’s been bothering you?” the doctor asks.
“There’s more.” He wishes Gladio’s infidelity was the only thing on his mind. “They assaulted him.”
Gladio tries to start an extra-marital affair, with a disastrous outcome. Ignis is wounded by the betrayal, but incapable of leaving Gladio when he needs him most—and he doesn't know if he should stay or go.

Summary
“Aren’t you worried I’ll report your location to Squall?” Quistis asks.
Seifer laughs softly. Dangerously. “Aren’t you worried I’ll kill you so you can’t?”
After the war, Quistis discovers Seifer holed up in a remote cabin outside Dollet. At first glance, he seems to be the same old Seifer she's always known. But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes he's deeply unwell—and that his survival may depend entirely on her.

Summary
As Quistis is putting the last pot in the drying rack, the light in the workshop window goes dark. A moment later, the door opens and Seifer emerges. There’s a defeated slope to his broad shoulders as he crosses the garden, a sad sort of dejection she’s not used to seeing on him—and she’s seen him at his worst. But it’s small wonder.
Their daughter ran away because of him.
Seifer and Quistis thought they could keep the truth about Seifer's past from their daughter—for a little while, at least. But some secrets are just too big to hide for very long. A remix of UselessMateria's Future Tense.
