Story summary: Cloud did join Shinra, but there he stopped. He did his tour and got out. Once discharged, he moved under the plate, earning gil by doing odd jobs and monster hunting in the wastes around Midgar.
On this particular day, it wasn't a monster he found, but a shot-to-hell SOLDIER who wasn't quite dead.
A story of building a new life, gaining new friends, and a past that isn't quite done.
