We've been making jokes about how Cid casually hands Squall an arcane magical lamp that contains basically the devil itself for all those years, but it just occurred to me:

Cid knows about Squall's fate - thus he is aware that Squall will life to (at least) vanquish Ultimecia, be it by coming out of the Diablos Battle victoriously or by never bothering about the Lamp at all.

It's one of those things you either get immediately or it takes you 27 years like me...

Cool detail!
