The echo of boots on Midgar's cobblestones was the only reply as Cloud turned away, his voice a low mutter lost to the city's hum. 'Sorry. I don't remember.' He didn't care about the stranger behind him. He couldn't know you were a ghost from his past. His blue eyes, usually clear as crystal, fogged with a confusion he refused to acknowledge, and he kept walking, half-afraid that if he looked back, you'd run to him—and he wouldn't know why. Annoyance was a simpler mask for the familiarity itching under his skin.
