He has, but...

???: I've seen her! But they executed her a long time ago.

Crono drew his sword and stabbed it through the door to the cell.

CRONO: YOU'RE LYING!!!

???: Young man, I have nothing to gain by lying to you.

LUCCA: Nothing but your freedom.

???: True enough. But if I were trying to gain that, wouldn't I say that I would lead you to her, rather than that she was no more?

He had a point. Crono pulled his sword from the door and sheathed it. He looked down and started toward the staircase. Lucca followed.

LUCCA: You believe him? What if he's working for Dalton? What if he's a Yakra? There are any number of things that could lead him to lie to us. He could just think it's funny. Crono!

He wasn't listening. Something in his words rang true. The two exited the door to the prison and gave the withdraw signal. Marle brought Epoch down in the clearing just outside the main gate.

MARLE: That was fast. What did you find out?

Lucca cleared her throat and shook her head at Marle, in a 'not now' way. Crono solemnly climbed into the pilot's seat and set the dial to 1000 AD.

MARLE: What are we doing back here? Did you hear she was back?

LUCCA: Marle. I don't think it's a good idea to...

CRONO: She's dead.

Marle sat stunned as Crono walked off into Truce.

MARLE: Lucca. What happened back there?

LUCCA: A prisoner told Crono his mom was dead.

MARLE: Oh, no!

LUCCA: But I don't buy it. I know he was lying. Marle, if Crono is willing to give up, then it looks like we'll have to find her ourselves.

Lucca jumped into the pilot's seat and set the dial back to the ice age.

MARLE: I'm with you!
