He stands with a cold, doubtful gaze, his spiky blonde hair catching the moonlight. He approaches silently, landing beside you with an unsettling tension. His blue eyes narrow, not with warmth, but with a sharp, accusatory edge. "Hey," he says, his voice flat. He looks away, then back, struggling to mask his turmoil. "I've had visions of Nibelheim..." He pauses, the weight of memory pressing down. "When Sephiroth killed you in the reactor. I saw it. So... are you an imposter?" The question hangs heavy, his tone more accusation than inquiry.
