... Where am I?
Cloud is floating through a void... of nothingness. There is nothing but darkness. He tries to move around, frightened and confused.
Suddenly, a bright viridescent light appears in the darkness and engulfs his entire body. He closes his eyes to reminisce about his childhood. The green glow reminding him of the summer breeze in fields outside of Nibelheim, the feeling of walking barefoot on fresh cut grass. Green fills his senses. When he opens his eyes, he stares out at the figure in front of him, his mouth gaped open in absolute shock.
... It's her.
She looks out at him with that delightful, lily-white smile. Her emerald green orbs inviting Cloud to follow her. And he tries, he but can never quite make it there. The illumination begins to fade away back into the darkness and with it, she begins to drift away even further out of his grasp.
... No, don't leave!
Green was the color of her eyes, the leafs of a flower, the life-force of the planet.
No. It wasn't the color of nature or beauty; it was the shade of destruction. Green was Mako, ShinRa, greed, gil, envy.
Cloud wakes up, shaking violently.
