FOR THOSE THAT LOVED THIS WORLD
SEVEN
After three hours it became apparent that Cloud was not going to return from the crater by himself. Fearing serious injury, Tifa and Yuffie decided to head out on a rescue mission. Barret accompanied them for safety while Cid kept the airship running and ready to go.
However, there was no sign of Cloud anywhere in the crater. Neither was there any sign of Sephiroth nor Kadaj. They could find evidence of a battle and scorched earth but that was it.
"Cloud," called Tifa. She didn't like this, something was wrong. "Cloud."
"Maybe he went somewhere," said Yuffie, "it might be in the note he left on the table."
"What note?" asked Tifa.
"Before Cloud left the ship he wrote a note and left on the table," said Yuffie before confessing, "I was spying on him – he was up to something."
Tifa turned on her heel and ran back to the ship, she flew passed Cid ignoring his questions regarding their safety. Using the door frame to halt her flight, Tifa stood staring at the table and the small white page folded on its surface. She dragged a shaky breath into her lungs,
"Please," she begged, stepping forward she picked up the note and unfolded it.
At the very end Vincent had said.
To those who loved this world once before and spend time with its friends,
With this action I hope to save the world and the people I love, find forgiveness and be with the one I love most.
Cloud Strife
