    Summary

    After Ultimecia’s defeat, the world should be quiet. Peaceful. Boring, even.
    But Balamb Garden has other plans.

    Quistis Trepe — newly appointed Director, professional overachiever, and part-time babysitter of emotionally questionable SeeDs — finds herself dealing with… paranormal activity. Strange energy spikes. Whispering corridors. Doors that open on their own (rude).
    Something’s stirring again, and it’s definitely not in the job description.

    So who do you call when the universe starts acting weird?
    A man who can walk into hell, light a cigarette on the flames, grin, and walk back out with more bad decisions than he can remember.
    Yes. Him.
    Terrible idea. Perfect idea. Same difference.

    She needs him for a mission.
    He needs her… in ways he’ll never admit.
