That's true - I hadn't thought about it much before. It's like the chicken and the egg: If Squall hadn't told Edea about Garden, then she wouldn't have built it, but at the same time, if Squall hadn't grown up in Garden and been a SeeD, he wouldn't have been able to tell Edea about it. It's like arg! Who started this crazy thing!

Fortunately, because again, the effect (Garden being created) preeceeds the cause (Squall traveling back in time) it works. Although it gives me a headache.
