Think about how the positions of things have changed from place to place, that's because Ulti used TC again on the compressed world, because she was angry.

This is another reason how some people (squall / his party) have forgotten thier memories, including GFs. That was part of Ulti's plan. On the school panel, it says wearing a GF has a side effect which will make you forget something, that's a lie. Proof? The gardens have lied, because they wanted to protect themselves.

Eternity, Ulti lived on all the time, she never dies. If she died, someone else will take her place and You Know Who.
