Goodbye Hero - Chapter 42: The Road Is Long [ffvii AU - rated M]
Summary: Zack sleeps. Zack eats. Zack stares at the sky…. Zack tries to figure out why he doesn’t feel better now that Hojo’s dead.
Dreams came and went, unremembered for the most part except the smell of mako and a braying laugh that faded into the mists.
He woke up feeling both better than he had in a long time, and groggy as a Sahagin's curse.
