CHAPTER I: REED PIPE
『Reed pipe: While heading for Fort Zeakden, in a sunset field, Delita stopped and pondered his identity. You, who couldn't any [sic] give words of wisdom, felt powerless. Delita then began to play a reed flute, a skill he learned from Balbanes...』
[Delita and Ramza sit on a hill in the Mandalian Plains. It is sunset.]DELITA: Beautiful. Somewhere Teta's watching the same sunset.
[Ramza turns to him.]
RAMZA: ....Don't worry, Delita. I'm sure she is OK.
[Ramza turns back to look at the sky.]
DELITA: ....I've felt out of place for a long time.
[Ramza looks to him again.]
RAMZA: Are you thinking about what Algus said?
[Delita closes his eyes.]
DELITA: I guess there are things you can't change, no matter what.
RAMZA: Don't say that. If you put effort into it...
[Ramza looks to the ground, Delita to his hands.]
DELITA: Could I be a general if I tried hard enough? I want to rescue Teta on my own, but I can't do a thing. I'm 'useless'....
[He puts a hand to his head and closes his eyes again. Ramza turns to him once more.]
RAMZA: ....................
[After a moment, Delita picks a piece of grass from the ground; he shows it to Ramza.]
DELITA: Remember how father taught us to play that reed flute?
[He blows on the grass, making a high-pitched noise. Ramza plucks a piece of grass and whistles on it as well.]
