+ Vincent (narrating): Days turned into weeks. I think... time forgot about us.
Yuffie kept a pocket watch to remind us of its passage. But without the
light of the sun to guide us, words like "day" and "night" quickly became
meaningless. We traveled when we were fit, we rested when we were tired.
It was also not our last meeting with Tonberries, Dragons or the other
residents of the Crater.  Nanaki and I adapted quickly. I still do not
enjoy fighting Tonberries - but I know now what to expect, and it is not
difficult for me to resist.  Easier, in fact, for me than for the others -
I am used to being haunted by the ghosts of my past.  We all came to be,
in this damaged place.  Still - Yuffie wasn't lying. Either you got better
in the Crater, or you died.  I had no desire to summon Phoenix ever again,
so I re-learned how to fight - and to survive.
