However important are what have been said and done, what hasn’t- the nonchalance, the indifference- is suitably more meaningful. But subtlety, alas, is a bridge only when both parties understand the unsaid.

Chrono Trigger
Toma, the Adventurer “If I don’t return, come to my grave and pour this on my headstone.”
The group arrives, some 400 years later, on an unnamed isle at the West Cape. There was a sole gravestone.
“The Great Adventurer, Toma Levine rests here… 3/6/634″
The group took out the pop and honoured the man the way he wished. A shining soul rose to the sky, pointing them the direction to the Giant’s Claw. It was where the Rainbow Shell was kept, his last adventure.
It is romantic sequences like this which makes Chrono Trigger such a wonderful and emotionally-charged video game, but not before long the depressing after thoughts that they just don’t make games like this anymore.
