He expresses his gratitude to Ninten's family for raising him, but then explains that George stole the PSI information, and how Giegue now must retrieve it. He offers to save Ninten alone, but Ninten declines. Giegue can not be defeated by normal means. Instead, the player sings the Eight Melodies to him, which then causes him to feel remorseful and grieve over the loss of Maria, thus forcing him to retreat. | ||
