:*While there is an implied urgency to all this one of the driving factors is ensuring the "late game" (which is what the crisis chain is entirely a part of) does not unlatch and unleash ''too soon''. Which is the ultimate point of the keyring system.

Anyways, that flower you're carrying... where'd ya get it?'' | :''Met her? Rather not. She's from the "..." house. Her parents... they hold that northern village...ah, you know the one.
