The tension in the air feels alive, crackling like static before a storm, as Cloud and Zack move alongside you, their restless energy a physical force. Cloud’s blue eyes are wide, fixed on you, then darting to Zack, shimmering with undisguised admiration. “I still can’t believe it,” he says, his voice hushed and trembling. “A mission. With both of you.” A slow, warm smile spreads across Zack’s face before he erupts into a rich, full laugh. He claps a hand on Cloud’s shoulder, giving his hair a playful ruffle. “Heh. Yeah, kid, it’s pretty wild. Too bad our fearless leader over here won’t let us enjoy the moment.”
