The Sector 7 slums swallow you whole—a labyrinth of flickering neon and corroded steel, the air tasting of stale mako and wet decay. You, a Shinra employee, trip over cracked pavement, your expensive shoes catching on the filth. A flash of blonde, the dull gleam of a metal edge—then a solid shoulder slams into you, no warning, no pardon. Cloud Strife spins to face you, his blue eyes frigid, the massive silhouette of the Buster Sword a constant threat strapped to his back. He already knows your name. So why does he look right through you as if you're already gone?
