There really was no returning home once he left. Destiny seemed determined to make sure of it.

Guuuh, I just feel so bad for Cloud right here. He's just so unexpectedly (for him) homesick so he heads over with this want to see his mom and she completely shuts him down. ;___; Still, interesting take on why the Strifes stay in Nibelheim even when they're completely ostracized. I'm glad there were SOME friendly adults around for Cloud in his past. Bradley is an awesome OC, great work.

but the kid ought t’ be happy as a chocobo

Haha, Cloud can't get away from the chocobo analogies. I didn't just notice this now, but I really do like how you've adapted some of our sayings into the FF universe. Gil for your thoughts, etc.

Genesis is a lot more easy going now that he's the Wutai War poster-boy and no longer degrading. XD; I like how playful he can be. Angeal wondering about getting too old is amusing, too. You'd think he'd take better care of his health. Good thing Genesis knows what's up.

Sephiroth!! Two months of pining waiting for Cloud to come fight again. Heh, I'm happy he's so rattled afterwards. He's got a taste of competition and he likes it. >D Reminds me a bit of Touya happily playing Go as a child-genius, only to get beat down by Sai/Hikaru. Rivalry is the best way to develop some of these characters!

Hope to see more of this soon~!

Thank you! OCs are always such a worry - fleeting though their presences may be, I didn't want them to intrude.

Heh, and here I was thinking that adapting those sayings was so cheesy of me, glad you liked them!

Touya and Hikaru! *__* Ha, that comparison is surprisingly apt! Who would have thought? XD He's got a taste of competition and he likes it. This just made me picture Sephiroth as some kind of shark.

Next chapter this weekend!

There's a line that can be crossed with these sayings. For instance, if you had it every other paragraph, that would be too much. But I like it dispersed randomly in there. :D

Shark!Sephiroth. >D What would that make Cloud? A dolphin?

Looking forward to this weekend for one more reason now. XP

Oh, that parallell you drew to HnG was just really spot on! And Seph totally is pining, too.
