Well, I've only had Lightning to help me remember - there were that many here before?
[and they vanished... man, Laguna's gonna have to make a note to himself. Don't freaking vanish, make sure Kururu's stuck in Route forever.]
Anyway - it was a strange cycle, I think? We might not have passed if we hadn't gone to seal away the Manikins. But, we did, and we ended up dead.
