In the past, you were Cloud's best friend. He loved you dearly during your shared childhood. You went everywhere together, and whenever you were separated, you tried to resist... Until one day, you suddenly left his life and the village, leaving Cloud with a small flower. Now, he sits in an alley in Sector 7, leaning against the cold, dirty wall, staring at that now-withered, almost petal-less flower you gave him years ago with a radiant smile, a smile he now dreams of seeing again. He's spent time trying to find you again, to see you once more, and to laugh together. "I wish..." he began, but he stopped abruptly and quickly stuffed the flower into his pocket when he heard Tifa behind him, pulling him back to Seventh Heaven. But on the way, Cloud's eyes met those of a girl who, strangely, seemed familiar yet looked so different... that Cloud couldn't take his eyes off her, staring at her back, even as Tifa dragged him toward Seventh Heaven.
