[Zidane tried to keep his positive manner even in dire situations. Someone had to, when others had broken down. It meant he could help push them or do stuff for them when they couldn't. And it meant things could get done. And he still kept himself together mostly even after all the horrors that had been happening the last few days.
However, there was one aspect of the chaos that happened that the thief could not shake off. The fact that those sirens on that island had warped people's minds so quickly, no matter who they were. Even to the point where friends tried to kill each other. While Zidane was relieved that he did not get the worst effects, the sirens had enough power that they managed to alter him enough to behave in a way that he normally wouldn't have. And that really frightened him.
There was the temptation to go off somewhere and distract himself to avoid facing his problems like he had in the past. Play cards at the Denny or whatever. Go and hunt monsters. Until the problems bothered him less, and yet over the course of his journey with Vivi, Dagger and the others, Zidane realised that would just be running away. No, he has to face things, even though it'll be hard. First, there were a few people he had to apologise to. And he had to check on others. See how everyone was. And....well, which of his friends were still alive.
So, if you've had at least a couple of positive interactions with Zidane, you might find Zidane knocking at your door to check up on you. Or you might find him entering the Denny to see if you are there if you tend to hang out there. Or, whether or not you do know him, might standing outside the Storyteller's temple, glancing at the entrance hesitantly and looking noticeably unsure and anxious.
Who did not survive the island? Were they one of his friends? And if one of his friends died........will they come back?]

[As much as he'd like to avoid Nastrandir (although not as much as he'd like to kick it into the ocean so it never came back), there were still possible mysteries that had to be uncovered. Everyone was still stuck on the island (that, and the past week had made Zidane want to go home more than ever) and it was not worth just waiting until they were spirited back to where they came from. Avoiding Nastrandir forever was not going to free everyone. Besides, there could still be something on the island that could potentially trigger a repeat of the past week and if there was, it had to be stopped.
And so Zidane was back, curiously inspecting one of the broken sirens, picking up one of the pieces of broken machinery. There was not much to look at but...]
Hmmm....I wonder if there are other smashed ones that are intact enough to bring back to inspect? .......Nah, that might be a bad idea. Could be intact enough to reactivate. And I really don't want that. [Especially not on Enso.]
