Darkness…
Voices?
Who are you?
I can't hear you...
"Wake up!" Wake…up? Am I…asleep?
"Live! Live Cloud!"Cloud? Who's? Oh right. I'm Cloud. Right? Who am I?
"Breathe!"Breathe? I'm not breathing? But how…I don't understand.
'Don't you?' No. I-I don't think I do. 'Think my dear. What happened? Do you remember? Here? You're heart. Think Cloud.'
My…Heart? What Hap- Oh. I remember! It hurts! But there is no wound…
'That is because you wished the wound away. You cried for the pain to stop. But you brought it on yourself.' How? 'You don't remember?'
No. I don't. What- I remember now. 'What did you do?' I took a sword to my chest…'Why?' Because he was in trouble… 'Who?' I don't- 'Remember? Think Cloud. Look inside yourself.' Sephiroth. 'That's a good boy…'
'Why was he in trouble?' I don't know. 'Don't you?' Yes. I remember now. The poison. 'Poison couldn't kill him…' It didn't. It paralyzed him. He was stuck to that wall. 'And then?' I don't…
'Know?' "Cloud! Please Wake Up!" Wake- 'Don't listen.' Why? 'Because. Now just think. What happened next?' The machine. It had his sword. It was going to stab him. 'Then?' I cant… 'Think.'
I jumped in the way. 'Why?' Because… 'Because What? Tell me later. Take a moment now. You are human. Every human needs to take rests. And you have the chance to rest forever.' But what about…'What about who? Sephiroth? He doesn't know you.' Zack. 'He has his girl friends. He doesn't need you.'
'Who else is there?' Tifa…'She hates you. Remember when you were younger. The look she gave you. You cried for hours when she said that she hated you…' She didn't… 'Mean it? Didn't she?' "Cloud! Please Wake up!" The voice…who is it. She sound like she's crying…'Why would she cry for you?'
Who are you? 'Me? I cant tell you yet.' Why not? 'Its not the right time.' When? 'Shhhhh. Quiet now…' What should I do? 'Just think. Lets go through your day like any other…'
'What happens first?' I wake up…Get ready for class. 'Its early. Very early.' I wait outside the classroom. 'Then?' The boys usually come along and… 'And what?' They pick on me. 'Why?' Because I'm weak. 'Because they are stronger than you. Your strong Cloud. But you need to rest too. What then?' They usually steal my stuff. I try not to cry, but I get it back. Its okay, they're just… 'Playing? Do you play like that Cloud?' No. I don't like to play they're games. 'Then tell them.' I cant. 'Why not?' I'm weak…
'Then what?' I'll go into class. The teacher will tell me…'Tell you what?' Tell me that he doesn't know why I'm here. I'm too weak anyways… 'He's mean, isn't he. But you're strong. You can get over it. What next?' We have to pair up. I'm stuck alone. The others… 'Laugh?' Yes. 'They're mean too.'
'Then what?' Lunch. I'll go get my lunch and then… 'It gets stolen?' Yes. 'Same boys.' Sometimes. I'll go and see Zack. He's ask… 'Where is your lunch?' Yes. I'll tell him I wasn't hungry, or I already ate it. He smiles. 'He doesn't believe you.' I know. But it's okay. He won't ask me again. 'That isn't very friendly…'
'After lunch?' I have Sephiroth-Sama's class. 'Does he ignore you too?' N-No. He looks at me strange. 'That doesn't seem nice. But go on.' After class, I'll head to my dorm. 'But…' The boys are back. Its okay though. I can get through it. I'll go back to my dorm and...
"Live Cloud!"
Live? I'm dying? Why are you laughing? 'I'm sorry. Its just funny. You didn't know you were dying?' I don't want to die. 'Why?' You sound scared…But I don't want to die because…Well…I have people to live for. 'No. You just said yourself. No one ever helps you. Look at what happens every day.'
But I can still live! I can still breathe for those who love me. 'Who?' Mom. Zack. 'Zack isn't your friend. And you mother didn't stop you in coming here.' She trusts me. 'She's dead Cloud. You and I both know.' I can still Live!
'You have no existence in this world.' I will make one! 'How?' I will fight. 'You can't even fight me.' I will! I want to live! 'Then fight me Cloud.' I will fight. I'm living. I'm not dying. I'm not going anywhere. 'Y-you cut me…' Yes! And I'll do it again till you leave me alone. 'What did She tell you to say…when you were scared.' Your not real, you don't exist. 'Tell me then.' You're not Real! 'And?' You don't exist! 'That's right.'
'Tell me Again Cloud. Fight me. Kill me. Destroy me. Kill me and live!' You're not real! And you don't exist. Your not real, you don't exist. 'Slash at me. Make me bleed.' You're not…real! 'That's a good boy…Hit me again. Slash me.' You look…'Like you? Kill me. Make me bleed. Hurt me like everyone hurts you.'
Why? 'Because /I/ want to Die.' I will grant your wish. 'Again.' Fine. 'Again.' My arms are too heavy. 'You can do it Cloud.' There! 'Good boy. Now you will live. And I shall die. ? W-Why are you holding me?' Who are you?
'I'm you Cloud. I'm your desire to die. Kiss me and breathe.' O-okay. 'Good night.'
"Breathe…Cloud."Sephiroth? What's happening? 'Go on.' But what about you? 'I'll be fine.' Okay. "Don't leave us Cloud. I owe you." Is that… 'Sephiroth? Yes. He wants you to live.' "Don't die."
I'm going to live./Call it./ Who is that? 'the doctor. Your heart has stopped. You only have a moment.' Good Bye. "I'm not dead yet." /He's Alive/ "Cloud…Thank you..." Your welcome…
