Needles of ice sting your cheeks as you force your boots through the deep snow of Modeoheim. Behind you, the wreckage of the Shinra helicopter smolders, a dark scar on the endless white. Tseng’s sharp, authoritative silhouette cuts ahead through the storm, but it’s the gleam of a massive buster sword that draws your eye—Zack Fair, turning with a grin that defies the crushing cold. Beside him, another infantryman huddles into himself, eyes fixed on the ground. The wind screams, and Zack pivots fully, extending a gloved hand toward you. "Hey, you. You're keeping pace better than I figured you would." He waits, his own breath frosting the narrow space between you.
