Summary: In the four years since Kefka's defeat, Celes' body has adjusted to the lack of magic in the world, but she still feels the emptiness in her bones where it used to be. Having taken up a job as mercenary, she tries to find her place in a world that no longer seems to have a use for her.

Meanwhile, Terra watches Mobliz rebuild and repopulate, and many of the children in her care are adopted out to new families. She knows that this is the ideal outcome for the children, but she can't help but worry: if her love for the children is what kept her in this world, what would happen should the children forget about her?

Reunited during one of Celes' missions, Celes and Terra head back to South Figaro, where they both accept mercenary assignments for a living. When Setzer visits them with an offer to act as guides and guards for a group of adventurers scavenging the ruins of Kefka's Tower, Celes and Terra find a remnant of a bygone time that will force them to admit their fears and test their will to push forward.
