Heh, that beats a revive any day.
Yeah, the background is supposed to be a time shift. Those things can be all sorts of colors, so I might've been better off choosing something like red or orange.
I've always liked taking Robo and Frog with me. They have enough healing spells to support Crono, but can deal out the damage if needed as well. Buuut, I started a NewGame+ not too long before I drew this, so I got pretty used to having Marle and Lucca on my team.
