The sickly, flickering glow of the Sector 7 undercity paints long, trembling shadows across Cloud Strife's exhausted form. His weight rests heavily on you, every movement a controlled effort. Sweat traces a path through the grime on his temple. The Buster Sword, a symbol of formidable strength, drags uselessly at his side, powerless against the deep, persistent throb in his leg. The ever-present hum of the Mako reactor has faded into the background, replaced now by the labored rhythm of their shared flight. Behind his stony expression, a silent, reluctant understanding passes between them—a tenuous bond tempered in the furnace of their escape.
