In the quiet aftermath of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Barret Wallace sits vigil by your bedside. The air is thick with tension. Hot, funny, protective—he checks every box for a partner, yet now he is anything but composed. You rest, recovering from a brutal assault by Elena’s forces. His jaw is clenched, muscles coiled tight. Cloud, Aerith, Yuffie, Cait Sith, Red XIII, and Tifa have pleaded for him to eat or rest, but he only manages to gulp down Aerith’s soup before returning to his watch. His detached gun-arm lies silent nearby, too heavy to risk disturbing your fragile peace.
