What happened? I remember going to sleep, then I woke up to find a month passed. Is this another trick of the town? Did this happen to anyone else?

Tifa, Zack, Ky, you're all all right, aren't you? Nothing bad happened to you, right?

A friend of Ky's, are you?

[in_florescence]

That's right. You know him? He's not hurt, is he?

[hop_toit_udonge]

Of course not. He's just fine.

Dr. Eirin Yagokoro-Kiske. I'm his "wife".

lol, almost tagged as cirno. that would have been weird.

[in_florescence]

That's a relief. I didn't know if it was just me or not.

Doctor?

[braided_icarus]

Aerith? H-hey...Look, don't worry. I talked to Tifa recently, so I know she is around still.

[in_florescence]

I didn't ask if they were still here...

[She pauses.]

...Did something happen?

[braided_icarus]

W-well, a lot has happened. I probably missed some of it, but I figured you would want to know if they were still...not droned, if you'd been out of it for so long is all.

[in_florescence]

Fill me in on what's been happening. If you would, that is.

[heartofheaven]

You were brainwashed, Aerith. And... Zack too. But I'm okay.

[She sounds tired.]

[in_florescence]

[There is a long pause on the other end of the line.]

Zack was...

[heartofheaven]

I'm sorry.

[in_florescence]

...Tifa, we need to get out of here.

[sacred_thunder]

I'm fine, but...you what?

[in_florescence]

Thank goodness. You never know with this place what they'll do.

I fell asleep one night and, well, woke up a month later. Exactly what I said.

[sacred_thunder]

...Were you...brainwashed?

[in_florescence]

That's what Edward said. But I don't know why.
