"Goodnight…"
"…Zack."
My feet…are moving.
…pat
…pat

Scraaaatch.
Scratching doesn't stop.
…
Pattern.
It's a pattern.
My feet are moving in a pattern.
…A pattern. Walking?
Walking.
…
Walking…where?
…
Walking…away from the red.
Walking…away from Zack.
So still…
…
…
Zack…said Midgar.
Midgar.
We must go…to Midgar…
He said.
…We must…
…
Who is we?
Me. Only me.
I must go to Midgar.
For Zack.
…
Zack.
Living…
I'm your…legacy.
"Embrace your Dreams." He said.
Dreams. Dreams. I like…I want…
I want…to be like you, Zack.
"Zack."
…
…
"For the both of us."
"Both of us."
I want to be like…you.
I fall. My chin hurts… I'm stopped.
His sword…I still have it…
Won't forget. I won't…
I'm moving now. It scratches like before.
It scratches. His sword.
SOLDIER 1st class.
We were there together.
We were SOLDIER together.
Zack was SOLDIER.
I was SOLDIER.
Zack…
…
I remember white.
I remember…snow.
"Good news…me and *&% are backwater experts. Oh yeah!"
Me and who?
Who?
…Just me. No one else.
"I'm a backwater expert. Oh yeah!"
Backwater. Nigongaim…?
Gon…gaga? Gongaga?
Backwater. Gongaga. Yeah.
We're from backwater Gongaga.
…
Too hot for snow.
No snow now.
…
So quiet. So quiet.
No-him-for me to hear.
No…Zack.
No Zack for me to hear.
I wont forget.
Zack always talked.
…Like me. I talked.
Like me, he always talked.
I always talked.
"Clo- , run!"
Who?
…
"Zack, run!"
…I told him to run. Didn't I?
"Zack, run!"
Run…so you can live.
I told him to live.
Live…for us? For the both of us? Yeah.
I told him to live for the both of us.
I told Zack that.
…
He's dead.
…
He's dead.
…
He's gone.
Gone.
Gone. Gone.
Gone Gone GONE!
"…Gone…"
…
Da…mn…
…
…
Wet falls on my face. Scratching stops.
The sky was grey.
Grey. Sad. She's sad.
…Tears?
She's…crying.
…
I don't like grey.
Blue. Black.
And sun.
I like those colors.
Her tears…I feel them running down my cheeks.
The sword drops. I don't want to move.
Why are her tears warm?
My throat is tight. Does it hurt?
I'm cold.
He will get me warm again.
He…
He will…
…
He is gone.
….
When did I end up this close to the ground?
…
Hurts.
Legs burn…tired.
It's ok. He'll help me up.
He'll help me.
He'll…
…Who?
"Gone."
Alone. No one's here.
But…
I wont forget…
…
Zack.
That name is important.
…
I need to get up. I'm covered in brown.
…I don't mind brown so much.
…
Arms burn too.
But I'm not close to the ground.
…
Pattern starts. My sword scratches again.
There's a shadow.
…A big shadow.
That…Midgar?
So close.
Midgar.
Gonna…do everything in Midgar.
Gonna do everything and see…girl?
Girl? Ae…
…
…
Name.
What's her name?
…
What's…my name?
…
Names are important.
Zack is an important name.
Zack…must…
It must be my name.
…
I am Zack.
Zack. SOLDIER…1st class.
