He didn't think questioning him about his blitzball pals was the same as Esteban's usual question, but Tidus can't deny that Esteban has a thing with questions. The guy is filled with them, like an ocean is with water.

But he does wonder, isn't everyone like that? The longer they know someone, the more they can recall. Except there's some imagery in his mind, a thought that pinches his brow a little; connected to Esteban, connected to himself--

"Do you remember people really well? When we tethered that time, I kept seeing these images of...a bottle, or- maybe it was like? Something about the sea..."

And it felt like-- him, some connection to him, but recalling it now, he falters in describing it. The colours bright, the way the sand glistened as the water did, the sun bearing down.

Is Esteban being literal here, about the way he remembers people?
