Story Information

Xion: ... I have been expecting you.

Xion turns around

Xion: No, there is a discrepancy in the perception of that phrase. Perhaps I am the one who has kept you waiting.
Xion: My name...is Xion.
Xion: I am a being who is capable only of observation. I will not interfere with you, nor can I.
Xion: However, the path you must take--the path you have yet to tread--is moldering.
Xion: Therefore, I can merely set you upon it. I have calculated and predicted every potentiality, and will exhibit them here.
Xion: Gather divergences and bring forth the inevitable. The Divergence Matrix will aid you in this task.

Xion gives [PLAYER NAME] the Divergence Matrix

Xion: I am a being who is only capable of observation. My role is not to guide you. Thus will the Divergence Matrix show you the way.
Xion: I pray that the path born of my regret will serve as a beacon to guide you when a compass cannot.
Xion: ...Forgive me.
Xion: I droned on without comprehending how difficult it must be to grasp such vague sentiment.
Xion: I will restructure my thoughts and state them again. Now, hear my request:
Xion: I bid you go to Naverius.
Xion: I will not say the reason. I cannot. The answer exists only in your future.
Xion: I am solely an observer. I can do nothing but observe.

Alma-Derived Impression Scene

Alma: Hmmm, I see. So this is when you and Xion met. Alma: As usual, I couldn't understand a word she said. But I guess she's making more sense now back when I was alive. Alma: I used to chat with her a lot through my Cosmogenic Arm. She always seemed so mournful, so full of regret. Alma: Thinking back on it now, maybe she was trying to apologize to me, since she could see the future and knew what would happen to me. Alma: I think she was able to see your future too, back when she talked to you. Alma: That's why she gave you the Divergence Matrix to guide you, and also why she sent you to Naverius. Alma: She was trying to accomplish something. Alma: I'm sure that "something" has to do with the regret I sensed, but right now... who can say?
