"Well…" There was a long pause. "Don't take it so hard, Spikey."

A blue iridescent tear slipped down a pale cheek. "But, Zack…"

The wave of a phantom hand. "No 'buts', pal. It's better this way. Now you can make your dreams come true." A flickering smile. A flash of violet knowing. Time growing short again.

Cloud fell to his knees, reaching for what he'd never hold. "Zack, I don't need…"

"Nonsense, Cloudy. Now you can have everything you want."

Cloud closed his eyes, gold-fringed pain. "But the only thing I ever wanted was…"

Zack began to fade.

"…you…"

The End.
