[When Aerith's PCD turns on, it shows her sitting in front of a cracked mirror. For once, her hair is down, falling in rich, brown waves down her back and over her shoulders.

[yellowirises]

[yellowirises]

From here...or from Gaia.

[fairesthero]

...You have disappeared from here before. I hated it, but at the same time, it must've been something like how you felt when I...when I died.

And I guess the same goes for the other part of your question. I left without saying goodbye way more than I should've.

[yellowirises]

[mirroredecho]

He doesn't need you to baby him either.

... Thank you, Aerith.

[Private//Unhacakble]

[yellowirises]

You're welcome.

[Private//Unhacakble]

[ff_red_turk]

Don't worry too much. It's been ... almost forty years like that.

[Private//Unhacakble]

[yellowirises]

Have you been happy during those forty years?
