The battlefield falls silent save for Zack’s ragged, desperate gasps. Blood stains his uniform as he struggles to keep his eyes open, the weight of his sword dragging him down like lead. For Cloud. For Aerith. He forces one trembling step, then another, vision blurring. Three SOLDIERs loom ahead, their weapons ready. A blinding light erupts, silhouetting a familiar figure. Zack’s legs give out, his body hitting the dirt as darkness swallows him whole.
