Chrono Cross HD Remaster Twitter bio: Guile - "Mysterious wanderer in a mask" A skilled magician who travels in search of the mysteries hidden in the world.

[Fortune Teller] Hahah...! Sir Guile, the deadline has already passed! Guile: ...Ma'am, this time I have lost. I have found the item in question, though it was too late... [Fortune Teller] Grin... Sir Guile, how did it go? Did you find the item? Guile: See for yourself, ma'am. Here is proof of my intrusion into Viper Manor. I ask that you give me my reward, as promised at the conclusion of our bet. [Fortune Teller] Ummm... It is my loss this time. Here is the reward I promised. Take it away! [System] Guile received Bronze Rod! [Fortune Teller] Grin... Sir Guile, how did it go? Did you find the item? Guile: ...Ma'am, I have lost this time. I was able to penetrate into the manor, but... [Fortune Teller] Don't start whining! A promise is a promise. Now, take off your mask and let me see your face. Guile: ...Nod I guess I have no choice... [Fortune Teller] M-My word!!! I see, so that's what it was... These old bones have just shaved an hour off their life-span... Guile: Ma'am, I have learned that the world is full of '"enigma."' I will be joining their journey for a while. Take care, and we might engage in another high- stake gamble again. [Fortune Teller] You bet!
Guile: Is this what I have been searching for all this time... No... Stop it! I am no such thing. What good is it... to possess such dark power...?
Guile: Heh... Never did I expect this to happen... But very interesting, nonetheless! I would like to witness the outcome of this battle.
Guile: It was an interesting journey, Serge... I will set out in search of a new enigma. Let us toast, in hopes that our paths may cross again...!
