Lucca notes in her letter than someday, Kid will know her "true name and heritage." This suggests that Kid's proper name is Schala Zeal. Schala's search for Janus explains the person walking around a modern day city looking for someone in the ending cutscene.Ĭoncerning her signing the diary "Schala "Kid" Zeal," keep in mind that either woman could sign in this manner. The only issue is, how would the photograph come into Schala's possession? This is remedied by the possibility that perhaps Schala visited them or attended the wedding, and kept a keepsake. It is not a clear, crisp photo, but rather appears to be a daggeurotype, most likely suiting it to the technological state of the world in 1020 A.D. This is supported by the nature of the photograph on the desk in the closing and opening cutscenes. Kid and Serge would wed, while Schala searched for Janus in time. Presumably, Kid and Serge would again meet. This possibility is supported by the endings, in which Kid seems to stick around after the Time Devourer is defeated. This would adequately resolve Magus's absence from the story he was going to be in Chrono Cross until the developers judged his storyline too hard to integrate and simply made Guile an independent person.
Under this idea, Schala's lines about searching for someone could be interpreted to mean that she is looking for Magus, her brother, who she probably knows to be looking for her. Where did they go after the dimensional unification? Let us discuss what might be the case if Schala and Kid don't merge. Since no definite conclusion is given, let's explore frameworks for either case.
The evidence for the former is found in Schala's signing her diary with the "Kid" nickname and also speaking like Kid at the Darkness Beyond Time. By far, the heaviest question is whether Schala and Kid merged into one being or stayed the same. With these questions and observations in mind we can begin analyzing and creating a framework. What does Schala mean that she will search for Serge (or someone else), when she should know exactly where he is (1020 A.D.)? Who married Serge Schala, Kid, or the unified being?Ĥ. Where did Schala, Kid, or both go after the events came to a close?ģ. Did Schala and Kid unify into one being, as evidenced by the diary-signing 'Schala "Kid" Zeal'?Ģ. With these observations in mind, we have the following questions.ġ. In various endings, Kid still seems to exist as a unique entity, appearing at the dock in "General Kid" and "The True Hero." A picture exist on Schala's desk of Kid and Serge married.Ħ. Serge returns to Opassa Beach with supposedly no memory of what happened, with Kid nowhere in sight.ĥ. Let us open the door to the great unknown,Ĥ. Schala and Kid seem to both be present at the Darkness Beyond Time when the Chrono Cross is used.įleeting dreams fade into the distance. Kid and Schala are independent persons, the former being created through unique conditions.Ģ. Before mulling over possible solutions and outcomes, let us first review the facts to form a logical foundation for analysis.ġ. The conclusion of the game is hopelessly ambiguous, and both character seem to appear in the closing. The most persistent mystery of the ending of Chrono Cross is the fate of Schala and Kid.
