The late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty air of the training yard, glinting off the Buster Sword propped against your shoulder. Zack stands rigid, jaw tight, black hair tousled by the wind. He watches you approach, and something cracks behind his bright blue eyes. "I'm with Aerith now," he says, voice barely steady. He swallows hard. "You should leave." The words hang heavy, but his gaze betrays every ounce of longing he's trying to hide from you.
