It's raining again. Although there is nothing to see I still look out. I hear her calling me from upstairs but I don't go to her. I know that she wants me, I know that she loves me. I told her long ago that I wanted to wait untill we got married. And now we are engaged. In three months, on the big day, somebody's heart will break and I bet a thousand gil that it will be mine.
I really thought it had broken yesterday to be honest. A year since I was forced to destroy the man I loved. Hardly a cause for celebration but what could I do? I'm a hero now, the great Cloud Strife, who saved the Planet from the 'evil Sephiroth'. Since his death he has turned into a children's story, a fairy-tale. By the Ancients Seph, I'm sorry. Have I betrayed your memory by loving another?
I sigh, bringing back memories of yesterday. She told everyone about our recent engagement. Naturally they were all thrilled.They were all smiling as they hugged her, and as they shook my hand. He stood a little way behind the chaos, his red eyes burning into mine. He did not smile, he did not cry, he just looked at me. I tried to smile or something at him. It must have been the weakest, saddest smile ever to grace my lips but I really tried, so hard, to put love and understanding in that smile. Of course he didn't smile back. He turned away but in the last moment I sware that I could see love in his eyes...
She calls me again but I'm still looking out the window. Every time the lightening strikes I look around as much of the town as I can to see him but he is not there. I know that he is thinking of me. I wonder if he still remembers that night on the Highwind. The night I bared my soul to him. I told him all the things that no-one else could ever know. I told him about Sephiroth, how much we loved each other back then, how much I wished I could have held him in my arms and died with him. He just sat beside me, listening silently as he always does. When I started to cry, he put his arm around me. I admit that for a moment I was startled. He's not exactly a very touchy-feely guy. I remember turning my face to then. He smiled, anouther rarity, and he put his other arm around me holding me close. As I ried like a child into his chest he whispered into my ear his secret. That Sephiroth was his child. That he could feel the same pain I did and that he understood me, he was the only one that could understand.
I still dream about him. I imagine him there now. I'm caught in a vision where he holds me, kisses me. In my fantasy I see myself being swept away by his love. Now I see Seph there. In my vision he nods. He knows me, and he understands. I can feel his blessing wash over my spirit. Oh Seph, I have not betrayed you. Always I will love you and remember you but thanks to you I can move on. And as if he hears my thoughts the rain stops and the full moon shines onto the roof of the old Shinra mansion.
He's there sitting on the roof. Dressed once again in his thrick red cape that flutters out behind him like wings. I cry out his name to the glass of my window. If he hears me I cannot tell but I see him look at me. For a while he just stares at me and then he turns and disappears. He's leaving. The realisation hits me like a spear through my soul. Vincent Valentine, my new salvation, is turning from me to return to the darkness in which I found him two years ago. And then the rain begins to fall once more.
