Kohra stopped suddenly in the road. He hesitated then turned his chocobo away from the gates in the east and headed west, towards the tower. The urge was suddenly overwhelming; he had to see for himself if it was there. He dismounted outside the tower, opened the trapdoor inside and descended the dark, spiraling staircase. He felt his way into the altar room, muttered a simple spell and the candles shone force, suddenly catching aflame. He released a breath he wasn't aware he was holding. There was the statue, looking down on him, the face shifting from the visage of Alberic to Kre'oss, and lingering on the latter. Kohra stood, looking wistfully at it for a few moments. Then he reached up, lightly tracing the jawline with his fingers.
"At least I know I can come here and look upon you when I'm lonely and missing you..." he murmured to himself.
He stayed a few moments longer, then turned sadly and walked towards the city.
