"He doesn't remember you, y'know."
Cloud paused at the sound of Faith's voice. She sounded... sad, and a bit distant. He stood outside the window her voice had come from for a moment, wondering who the girl knew in this town.
"Not that I blame him," she said, almost guiltily. "The poor kid's head is totally messed up. He probably just blocked out the past five years and picked the person he looked most like from the memories. Which would be you, of course, since the mako changed him so much."
The SOLDIER blinked in shock; the only person she could really be talking about was him! Who was she talking to, he wondered, before a sharp pain in his head made him stop. He shook the headache away and tuned back into Faith's voice.
"I wish you'd wake up, you'd probably be way better at this 'saving the world' thing than I am," she said with a sigh, "I mean, that's your niche, right? Hero-boy, First-Class SOLDIER. Well, you saved Cloud, so I guess that makes you someone's hero at least."
Someone called from a different part of the house, and there was the sound of fabric rustling, like she'd stood up. Cloud backed away from the window to make sure she didn't see him.
"I'll come see you again next time I get a chance," she said, "try to wake up, would you? You don't really know me, so I guess I can't ask you to do it for me, but for Cloud and Aeris, maybe?"
There was another sigh, as Cloud heard her footsteps heading towards the door of the room. The door opened, and she walked out, pausing to whisper 'good-bye' to the other person in the room.
Cloud stood still for a moment, then walked up to the window and jumped up to grab the sill. He peered inside and saw a man lying in the bed.
He didn't recognize him.
