Reunion and Coalition:

It is recommended that you clear Ch. 9: Utopia Niveus before playing.

???: So this is how the worlds are connected... But to where does this lead...?
Cecil: Is that...Kain!? You're here!

(The rest of the party arrives)

Edge: Somebody you know, Cecil?
Yang: A dragoon of Baron, he is Lord Cecil's close friend. ...Or was...
Kain: Edge... Yang... I see. You two have lost it as well.
Kain: Cecil... To think you'd lose the hallowed light...
Cecil: What do you mean? What are you doing here?
Kain: ...Don't be so suspicious of me. How long have we known each other? My voice should be enough to understand.
Kain: Be at ease... I have no interest in conflict here. What we hope to protect is the same.

(Kain leaves)

Mog: Kupo! He entered the Torsion, kupo!
Warrior of Light: Does he intend to close it by himself?
Edge: He'll be in a bind if he is! Let's go give him a hand!
Cecil: I know we ought to. But Kain...
Yang: He broke off relations with Lord Cecil to serve under a villain. My homeland, too, was...by his forces...
Warrior of Light: He appeared to be concerned for your wellbeing, though.
Warrior of Light: That you had lost something...
Cecil: You lost some of your memories when you came here. It is to that he must have been referring.
Edge: Come to think of it, he knew my name.
Edge: I don't know any dragoons... Huh? Or...do I...?
Yang: Is there something we may have forgotten about Lord Kain and ourselves...?
Cecil: Let us enter this Torsion as well. If Kain knows anything...it would be in our interest to know as well.
Edge: Amen! This is gonna bug me if we don't clear things up!

(Everyone leaves, except Cecil and Mog)

Cecil: Mog...there is something I would ask you.
Mog: Kupo?
Cecil: The light... Did you sense it in him?
Mog: If he's planning to use his powers properly, then it's the light, kupo!
Cecil: ...I see.

(Cecil and Mog enter the Torsion)

During The Proud Lance of Baron Pt. 1:

(Wave 3: Kain)

Cecil: Kain!? Why!?
Kain: ...That should be obvious. Draw your blade, Cecil!
Cecil: Gr...!

Betrayal:

Bartz: The Torsion closed! Wait, that means...!
Kain: I created it. And by defeating me, you closed it.
Cecil: Why, Kain! Why would you threaten the world this way!
Cecil: Unless... Is someone manipulating you!?
Squall: ...This isn't like you.
Squall: Would you mind speaking so we can follow along, too?
Onion Knight: Tell us what's going on. Wasn't there something you wanted to know?
Kain: ...That moogle is not here.
Kain: Have you noticed while battling in this world a feeling that your strength is being drawn out of you?
King: Yeah, we have wondered about that.
King: It seems most obvious when fighting inside a Torsion.
Kain: How about when fighting against me, a warrior from another world like yourselves?
Squall: It was more pronounced than going up against manikins or monsters...maybe.
Bartz: Ah! Come to think of it, it might've felt that way whenever we fight those other guys, too!
Onion Knight: So you picked a fight with us to figure that out.
Kain: I don't have all the answers.
Kain: Only...I've been told what's draining your strength is that moogle.
Cecil: Who told you that?
Kain: You aren't ready to know.
Cecil: Because I've...forgotten something important?
Cecil: Kain... Please tell me. I... What have I lost?
Kain: Something meaningless if you can't remember on your own.
Squall: So what now? Going back to whoever is feeding you info?
Kain: That was my plan...
Bartz: And you're just gonna leave your friend worried and confused?
Kain: He's the one who does not trust me... But you are right, warrior from another world.
Kain: I cannot leave Cecil in this state. I will join you on your journey.
Onion Knight: That would be a big help. Let's share what we know.
Cecil: Kain... Can I trust you...?
Kain: Call me a traitor if you like. ...I will bring the light back to my friend.

Our Path Together:

Warrior of Light: You've grown more pensive since Kain joined us.
Zidane: Is it whatever you can't remember from back home that's eating you?
Cecil: ...Indeed. I've lost something important that for the life of me...I just can't figure out.
Cecil: But more painful than that is this cold-hearted distrust of my friend.
Cecil: Have I...let my heart become as black as this armor...?
Zidane: For such a softie, you're way too hard on yourself.
Warrior of Light: As am I. Everyone has missing memories to some extent or another... I know this thanks to him.
Zidane: I trust Kain. After all, he's sticking his neck out there for everyone, right?
Warrior of Light: Agreed. His spear shows us the way.
Warrior of Light: The mystery to be solved is the Torsions...
Cecil: If we can know them, we can know what it is we have lost, is it?
Cecil: You two are right. There is nothing to gain in fretting...
Zidane: The way I see it, Kain's defending you along with the rest of us.
Zidane: Any doubts you have'll clear up eventually, hear?
Cecil: Thank you, Zidane. As I am, I will do what I can to believe that.

Kain: Cecil and his companions were summoned by this Materia...
Kain: Could the difference in our memories have to do with who summoned us?

Spiritus: Warrior burdened with the mark of treachery... Go, and protect my world!
Kain: As though I would fight for your sake.
Kain: I fight...to protect my friend.
???: ...You came, Kain.
???: Now, to Cecil's side with you...
Kain: Heh... My thoughts exactly.

(Kain follows Golbez)
