Once. And only for you. Not to be recorded for Tiktok. No one would ever believe it happened anyway.
I mean...after the orphanage, I went to garden to start training when I was six. And I graduated and became a mercenary when I was seventeen. Which is when I got hired to basically help a resistance movement run by this girl named Rinoa who was really bad at running a resistance movement and also wanted to date me. Except then Galbadia got taken over by an evil sorceress from the future who was possessing my foster mother, Edea. Except I didn't know that because our training involves these things called Guardian Forces that eat away at our memories in exchange for letting us use magic so I remembered fuck all of my childhood. And she got Seifer to become her knight by mind controlling him and he tried to kill me...a bunch. And then we got contracted to assassinate her, but it was a set up and she nearly killed me and I got locked in prison and tortured by Seifer. Then I escaped with the help of these moombas who thought I was Laguna...who I'll explain later. Or now, actually. So the whole time my older sister, Ellone kept sending me mentally back in time to this guy named Laguna to try to change the past. And it turns out he was my dad and also the president of Esthar. But I didn't find out he was my dad until way later.
So then we fought the sorceress and defeated her which freed Edea, but then she possessed Rinoa. And I had to save Rinoa, which involved going to space. And then she was a sorceress too and I became her knight and kind of thought I was in love with her because of weird sorceress mind magic...which she didn't do on purpose but still wasn't great. Then they made me the military commander because everyone else was functionally useless and so putting a seventeen year old in charge seemed like a great idea, I guess. And then we basically had to do something called time compression, so we could fight the future sorceress, Ultimecia, in her own time, so we could defeat her and not have her keep possessing people. And we did, but then I got flung into time compression and couldn't get out.
Then I woke up in a different world that I'd been brought to by something called Hydaelyn, to go to different world crystals and save them from the darkness. Which is where I met Nyx and Noctis. And also where I found out Laguna was actually my father and not just a dumbass. And while I was there the magic wore off and I realized I didn't actually have feelings for Rinoa, which was kind of uncomfortable. And Seifer was there, dealing with no longer being mind-controlled and we worked through our shit. And then we ended up here.
