M. - Monsters
"Zack, did you even hear what I said?" Aeris had asked not too long ago.
If Zack hadn't been that preoccupied with his own thoughts, he wouldn't have to explain things to her now.
"Zack, you know you can tell me everything, right?" Aeris said, softly, placing a hand on his arm. It was warm to the touch, but then again, it always was.
Zack looked up from the floor to her hand, and then to her face, still hesitating slightly if he should tell her or not.
Eventually, he told her that some people referred to SOLDIER as monsters. Genesis, Angeal, Sephiroth, they were all saying it. He wondered if she thought the same, but he didn't ask further. Zack didn't want to admit it, but he was afraid of her answer.
The truth was that she didn't know that much of those weird army people, but she was sure of one thing. Zack wasn't a monster, nor would he ever be one. It just couldn't. He was a hero for crying out loud! Now, how in Gaia's name could a hero be a monster at the same time? It just didn't make sense.
