Prologue
Tifa sighed as she looked out the window of her house in Nibelhiem. After the final battle against Sephiroth both she and Cloud had decided to return to their childhood hometown. Now, as Tifa looked out her bedroom window, she watched Cloud look up at the stars. There were tears rolling down his cheeks. It was almost too much for her to bear. She climbed out her open window and sat facing him with her legs hanging off the edge of the roof.
"Hi there neighbor," she called cheerfully, "Nice night huh?"
Cloud quickly wiped his eyes. He nodded and looked away so Tifa wouldn't see how red his eyes were.
She sighed, "I was writing a letter to Barret and Marlene. I was just wondering if you wanted to add anything to it."
Cloud shook his head; he still didn't trust his voice to stay steady. He couldn't let Tifa see him so weak.
"Well goodnight then," Tifa called out. She climbed back into her bedroom window.
Cloud waived and continued to watch the stars as if just by searching the heavens above that special girl would return to him.
