[The image is moving, swaying from side to side and getting jostled about before finally it settles on a window sill and all that's in view is her rather empty room. She must be standing beside it, however, because her voice can be heard from above.]

That scared me. And I'm still not sure...

[She picks the NOC up, aiming the screen toward her

Thank you for your assistance, I'm healing fine. How are you?

text.

[onegil]

I see. I'm fine. You're not alone, right?

[ text ] ... ♥

[1led_them]

I'm not so far damaged that I can't manage by myself for a moment or two.

Did you find Zack? I haven't been on the NOC till just recently.

You're the kind to overwork yourself, too.

I did. He's fine, but still recovering. You should say something to him.

[1led_them]

Never more then enough, is what I expect of myself.

Noted.

[onegil]

As long as you're careful.

Noted? I see how it is.

Then, I might add, don't get mixed up in whatever chaotic plans AVALANCHE might have conjured here - like going outside the wall.

And, exactly, how is it?

[onegil]

Who says it's chaotic? I think it's a good idea, so long as they go prepared.

Nevermind.

[1led_them]

Don't you dare go.

Tell me.

[onegil]

And if I do?

It's nothing important.

Let them be foolish, this world is not known to us. If they feel their lives aren't worth the heeded warnings, so be it.. they are nothing more then individuals that listen to no one, they are irresponsible. You are different, Aerith. If you do go, I will drag you back - I will find you.

Would you lie to me?

text.

[onegil]

If they're foolish and irresponsible, then so am I. I'm one of them, so you would have to let me go, too.

Of course not. Forget I said anything.

Think about it, Aerith, what the hell do you have to prove by going out there and getting yourself killed. This isn't Gaia, there's no impending threat that you need to sacrifice yourself for. You're not one of them, ever. Your roots are too deep to move, you will always be the last - no matter how you try to disguise yourself - you still are better then that and I will always see you for what you are. I will never let you go.

I cannot forget.

[onegil]

I'm not sacrificing myself, I'm standing by my friends. You won't understand...

You should.

[ text ]

[1led_them]

Just as they stood by you when you were killed.. I can imagine the result being no different this time around. Do not try and go.

Never.

[onegil]

That's different. I'm not one of your Turks, I'll do what I want to do.
