Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (171)

I don't think it's the right way to say that you're glad he's back... I've got a hunch that it's just bad translation, but it's made funnier by the fact that 'home' (i.e. Expel) is about to be destroyed in the collision.

Ronixis ascertains that the collision between Expel and that... other thing... is inevitable. Claude, however, half convinced that he can stop that, and half in fear of losing his freinds forever, insists on having them beam him back down: Ronixis understands Claude's feelings, because he had similarly made friends on Roak (in the first Star Ocean), so he lets him back on Expel for a short while just to allow him to say his final goodbye to Rena and the others.

Of course, Claude's intention isn't to leave his friends to die by themselves, as he now feels more attached to them than to his old life as an an Ensign on the Calnus, under his father's shadow. 'I belong with you...' he tells himself, and leaves his communicator behind to trick the crew member into thinking he's ready to be beamed back on the spaceship.

After a heartfelt reunion with Rena and the rest, Claude instructs his friends to leave as soon as possible.
