As a Turk, Reno knew the colour red better than anyone else.
Red was the colour of his hair, noticeable in any crowd.
Whispers behind his back as they eyed him warily, afraid.
Red was the colour of blood, splattered against the wall after every job.
Bloodstained hands that trembled with guilt.
But as he held Yuffie's hand, watching her push their baby out, blood splattered against her thighs; he realized with a start that blood meant new life too.
To him now, red was the colour of his newborn's hair, the colour of splotched cheeks as it scrunched its face up and cried.
