WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD UP

They really just

"I loved Cid with every fiber of my being"

...

"But every single time we've needed our little Rosarian princeling to step up and defend what we stand for—for what Cid stood for—he has.

I'd follow him to the ends of the earth."

I can be so normal about this. So very normal🙂🙃

The image is a bit hard to read, so I'm transcribing the text below:

Otto,

It's been a hard few days, but for the first time since we lost Cid, it feels like we can properly dare to hope again.

After we lost the old hideaway, I thought we'd never be able to get back what we had, but recently, I feel like we're more of a team than ever. And it's down to Clive. I loved Cid with every fiber of my being, but Clive's given everyone the chance to show what they're truly capable of. That's real leadership, if you ask me.

Alright, it helps that he's a one-man killing machine, but he never had any reason to fight for us. He owed us fuckall, in fact. Except maybe a little something for looking after his dog for a bit. But every single time we've needed our little Rosarian princeling to step up and defend what we stand for—for what Cid stood for—he has.

I'd follow him to the ends of the earth. And I've a feeling you would, too.

Take care, pal,

The signature at the end is indeed Gav's, as I understand it. A friend of mine used the in game alphabet to decode the same signature not long ago, so they recognized it.

I have to say it was kind of funny hearing that Clive/Jill was written as this amazingly done childhood best friends slow burn to lovers shit (would if that were true...😔) when I was an outsider, meanwhile now I think Clive's got a tier list of people in his heart that's like:

Joshua (sorry it's obvious no one ever surpasses Joshua. He can't shut up about his brother even when he's dead)

Cid (This one is so bad and obvious that Clive also started talking about him unprompted after his death like he kept doing to Joshua)

Torgal (Ouppy)

Gav (I love how he started attaching to Gav at some point earlier in the game and Gav wasn't into it, but their dynamic changed after Clive inherited him post Cid's death)

Otto (Didn't expect this before timeskip 2 ngl but like. Tell me them talking when you choose to gather the sand with him isn't a bit like a date. Clive waxes poetry about how Otto was his first supporter and he couldn’t have done anything without him)

Jill (Being as nice as I possibly can here with this placement. Obviously he cares about her and her well-being but her love feels so palpably onesided and the scenes where it seems like Clive reciprocates as far in as I am feels like him just playing a role. Problem is that he has more emotional and heartfelt scenes with men, tends to talk about dead men he's not over when they're supposed to be having a moment, and has more onscreen chemistry with other random women)
