"If you wish to steal the jewel from Lynx...If you truly wish to triumph...You will have to let go of a treasure of your own, Kid.
For as long as you cling onto it, the hands of your clock will never move. They'll stay exactly where they came to rest, all those years ago."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I remembered everythin'. I remembered another me. A me from a long, long time ago..."
Slowly, kid averted her gaze, looking up at the night sky.
"I have to go."
The stars reflected in her eyes, and suddenly she looked like nothing more than an ordinary young girl, with a sad, distant expression on her face.
"Kid..."
"Don't worry, Serge. I'm okay...We'll meet again."
Kid smiled.
“We'll meet again...somewhere, someday...
Some...time... Promise..."
"I didn't manage to nick the Frozen Flame in the end...
And I lost the Time Egg too--the only thing I had left of Lucca's...
But...it's okay. Everything's gonna be okay.
There's something inside me that shines brighter’n any stupid jewel.
The most important thing in the world."
She opened her eyes again and fixed them on me.
”No one can take it from me...not for as long as I live..."
There was nothing else in the world I wanted but this. I doubted I'd ever want anything again. I only wanted this moment. All the clocks in the world could have stopped right then and there for all I cared.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And so ends another tale.
Perhaps, one day, I'll see Kid, Magil, and Riddell again...
One day.
Somewhere...At another time...In another world...
Perhaps none of us will even realize it.
But that's a story for another day.
For now, I must put down my pen...

If you have played Chrono Cross, the above quotes will probably elicit a reaction of absolute despair and melancholy from you, yet also leave you with a taste of something hopeful and sweet, knowing where the story goes next. I really adored this little VN, and wish I had experienced it sooner.

Serge and Kid have a cute relationship. It's interesting seeing the heroine being more experienced than the hero, for once. Being a SNES VN gives it a very unique atmosphere and the music is great. The random encounters are annoying as hell, though.
