Prologue
Lucrecia stood before the caven where her journey began. Dressed in a white dress with a white scarf, she was protected from the freezing rain. Though so many years had passed since that incident had occurred the pain still felt fresh, still felt strong. She walked into the cavern looking at all the crystals lining the cave. The walls glowed blue form the light of the crystals.
So many years had passed. She was just a grad student then, barely starting out in the field of science. The study of the life force of the planet had intrigued her. Grimoire had taken her under his wing, helped her with her thesis, and brought her here to study the two most deadliest weapons on the planet.
So many years had passed. She had come with him and when chaos attack Grimoire had protected her. He died that day.
It was all her fault.
And now she had failed to save his son too.
She walked toward the center of the room. If she had never studied Chaos and Omega she wouldn't be here now. Grimorie wouldn't have died, Hojo wouldn't have had his way with her, and Sephiroth would have never been born. But one other thing pulled on her heart. If none of this had happened she wouldn't have met Vincent..
Vincent.
She had failed to save him after Hojo had shot him. He still slumbered in the the basement of that mansion. He was the only reason she had stayed alive through this hell. Now he was gone
As she entered then center of the room crystals closed around her she closed her eyes and spoke. As the crystals closed and she was frozen her words echo in the cave, forever holding her sorrow.
"Vincent, I'm so sorry"
