• butterfly edge

but aerith was there, and that's all he needed.

• february 7th

february 7th, cloud walks up to aerith's room, flowers in hand.

• broken

in which aerith comes to terms with everything she'll never give up for him.

• though hope is frail

the world is empty without her, and your heart is no home for a ghost.

• drip-drip, ribbon

tonight was her night, they all knew it, and he was allowed this selfishness. Just tonight.

• for the memories

her hair surrounds her in a halo and she smiles with an impish grin, and cloud can’t help but wonder whether she’s leading him to temptation or salvation.

• the path of a star

there are wounds inside him aerith put there, but cloud still tries.
