004 || it was all just a dream

[hisdreamsmyfate]

I...

I can't... remember anything. What happened to make me act like that, what I was even thinkin'... I know I tried to get back to the elevator. I saw the storm coming.

[He runs a hand through his hair, now furious that he had been that easily manipulated.]

I just can't do it.

I'm not degradin' myself!

Just. Tryin' to see what I can dig up that helps.

[Ignoring that statement - jeez, what crawled up this guy's butt and laid eggs? - the SOLDIER starts thinking back to the incident once more, trying to recall something - anything - that would help to lead to a trail.]

...a well. An' a white room. The rest of it's too fuzzy to make out, but those are the biggest things, I'd think.

There was also this on my arm, if you can make sense of it?

[He turns the feed to a small wristband laying on his desk, having been torn off some time ago. The numbers read: 0108270246, with nothing else on it.]

[hisdreamsmyfate]

Torture... sad to say, it wouldn't be the first time I've dealt with somethin' like that. Somethin' more than a little storm happened, I can tell you that much.

[Bright blue eyes glance back at the wristband, thinking.]

I'm... I'm not sure about the number though. All I know is that something about it made me try an' kill my friends. It's enough to make me pissed.

I ran into Sephiroth, as far as I can remember. He... started talkin' about another friend of mine, one I'd lost several years ago. He talked about how said friend would've been disappointed in the way I was acting, at how selfish it was.

I guess the realization of that finally screwed my head on right again.

[hisdreamsmyfate]

He's... a friend of mine here. You've never heard of 'im?

[hisdreamsmyfate]

...some things happened, back on our world that he doesn't know about yet. He's one of my best friends here, I... I don't know what I'd do if he was gone again, y'know?

[hisdreamsmyfate]

It won't. Whatever happens, I'm gonna make sure everyone's okay here.

[hisdreamsmyfate]

You expect any less?
