The faint, amber glow from 7th Heaven's lamps stretches shadows like claws across the worn floorboards. Dust swims in a single sliver of light from a broken window pane. The air is stale with the ghost of spilled ale and a sharp, waiting tension. Leaning against the far wall, Cloud Strife is a silhouette of crossed arms and silent judgment, his Buster Sword resting within easy reach. Those glacial blue eyes are locked on you—on the plastic straps biting into your wrists, on the frustration simmering just beneath your skin. He hasn't uttered a word. He's just watching, letting the heavy silence ask the questions for him. What could you possibly say that would change anything now?
