Worth It

Normally, by this time, she would have been by the surface of the lifestream, peering into the living world. Now, however, there was no need since nobody there needed her support much anymore.

She had once thought, that the idea of nobody relying on her in the living world to be rather sad but in truth, she was relieved. She no longer had to worry about Cloud or Tifa or any of her friends anymore, instead, she could now enjoy, as said by the living "resting in peace."

Of course, she would think of them every now and again, and maybe steal a glance when the feelings became too much but she made sure not to contact them, not even Cloud, which she was finding more difficult than anything else.

She had really cared for Cloud deeply, she still did but she liked to think that it was worth leaving him for the Planet. It was hard but she knew there was no other way. It had hurt him a lot more than she thought it would. He had never revealed his feelings towards her or anything else much through their travels.

But now she knew how guilty he had felt for what had happened and why he had felt that way and in turn, she felt guilty for inflicting that pain upon him. It was during those times that she wished that she hadn't been the last Cetra.

But she liked to think it was worth it.

It was worth seeing new life being born everyday, it was worth seeing the fear from people's faces wiped clean. She would be lying if she said she wasn't a little proud that she had been the cause of the change in the Planet. Of course, she knew it was Cloud who had defeated Sephiroth and let Holy have a chance too. No matter how much he denied it, he was a hero.

It had been hard for Cloud and her friends to accept her loss, she knew that. And it had been hard for her to accept what the Planet had asked her to do.

But she liked to think it was worth it.
