Nobody knows where Cloud's heart lies at times like these. Not even her.
The planets are whizzing around them. One of them's hardly bigger than an apple, tempting her to reach out and take a bite. Bugenhagen won't like it, though.
But she can't see the reflection in Cloud's mako eyes. He doesn't see the planets, the beauty; all he sees is the blackness, and the emptiness of space.
The Planet's life drains into Bugenhagen's sleeve, and she feels her heart tighten. It shouldn't happen.
But Cloud lets it, his eyes wide shut. Perhaps only she can save the stars.
