Cloud was in his cell; shackles around his wrists. He looked at the ceiling, deep in thought. He thought of Tifa and the rest of the group. How he missed them. He heard footsteps coming down the hall, but he figured it was probably Hojo, coming to harass him some more. As the footsteps got closer, he turned his head towards the bars. But he didn't see Hojo, he saw Reeve.
"What are you doing here Reeve?" Cloud whispered, trying to keep his voice down. Reeve put his fingers to his lips, motioning for Cloud to be very quiet.
"They are here. Your friends Tifa and Yuffie. I let them into the building." Cloud felt his heart leap into his throat. He knew she could hear him, he just knew it.
"Where are they?" He stammered, at a loss for words.
"They are staying here. We are going to try to get you out." Reeve smiled sadly. "And...when we get you out, I want to join you officially, instead of working through the stuffed toy. I am ready to stray from this immoral corporation." He looked at Cloud and nodded. Cloud felt a burst of energy and stood up. He wanted to walk over to the bars but the shackles fastened him to the wall.
"Thank you Reeveā¦" He said, the corners of his mouth slowly rising into a smile.
"I must leave now, but don't fret. You will be out of here tomorrow." He turned to walk away, but Cloud stopped him.
"Reeve...thank you" He laid back down and closed his eyes. Reeve took one last look back and walked out of the dungeon.
