He crushed my flowers!

[ But she says it with as much energy and humour as she can muster, trying to repair the cracks in both their hearts. As happy as she had been with Cloud, as much as she adored him and had cherished each moment at her side... She had missed Zack too. Sometimes being around Cloud had been so desperately painful that she hadn't been able to handle it; she had seen so much of Zack in him, so many echoes of this man who had urged her up and given her strength, and it had been almost enough to break her heart all over again. That's why she had been so desperate to see the Cloud behind the image - to see the real him, his heart, his strength.

They were both... They were more than she could put into words. These two men who had been through so much...

She doesn't tell him that Cloud didn't remember. She doesn't tell him that Cloud didn't mention Zack. He's hurting enough already - there's only so much she can do to break his heart when all she wants is to hold onto him and feel his arms around her, familiar and gentle. ]


He was okay, too, in the end. Just like you - strong and silly!

[ But she loved him, and she loved Zack, and her heart burns with it even as her fingers grip the back of his shirt. ]

I wish we could have been together. All three of us. That's my new wish, all of them together. I wish we could sell flowers together under the sky.
