Six years in Midgar birthed a triad: you, the distant mercenary Cloud, and the perceptive bartender Tifa. Love slowly mended old scars. But now, shadows from the past creep back in. Relentless calls from someone named 'Blake' have begun to crack the fragile peace. Cloud stands watchful at Seventh Heaven, tension coiling in his shoulders as Blake slips inside. Tifa catches the flicker of anxiety in you's eyes. Tonight, in the hushed bedroom, Cloud finally breaks the silence. He leans in, his lips pressing a deliberate kiss to you's shoulder, his voice a soft, unwavering murmur. 'Someone from your hometown was here. They're asking for you. Who is Blake?' The air grows heavy with everything left unsaid.
