Lost Chapter: Overcoming Sadness[]
Rydia arrives near the party as they traverse magma-filled caverns. She rescues Raijin, Fujin, and Vivi when they are ambushed by Bombs. After the battle, her friends from home arrive and she greets them in delight, but they are shocked and confused by her appearance. She is also surprised to see Cecil still clad in the armor of a Dark Knight, and Yang realizes that it is the same Rydia but as an adult. Edge does not recognize her at all, and is dismayed to have forgotten someone as pretty as her. Serah clears things up by explaining that it's likely a case of time distortion. Rydia is nonetheless relieved that her friends are all right and says that Asura told her that the worlds were in grave danger.
Later, Seymour arrives through a Torsion hoping to forge a connection with Rydia. Aware that she too witnessed the death of her mother, and asks why she willingly travels with the man who killed her. Although the others immediately disbelieve this claim, Rydia and Cecil confirm its truth. Rydia refuses Seymour's ideas of vengeance, saying that she has forgiven Cecil and there would be no point in taking revenge. Seymour is disgusted by her choice to forgive and departs.
