The full moon hung high in the dark sky, casting light upon the two figures below.

"What are thinking? How can you do this? They're only children, and ill to top it off!"

"They're not ill. They only share mother's cells. Reunion is coming, and they'll play a part in it. We'll all come together as a family."

"You don't need to do this to be part of a family. I love you. We could be happy, we could have our own family." She pleaded.

"With out mother's power I can't be whole! Why don't you understand?"

"Because I love you! Do you understand that, damn it! You don't need Jenova... I love you, and if you'd just stay with me— "

"No, I must complete Reunion." He stated, once again turning away from her.

"Please, don't go. Come back to Gold Saucer with me, we could have a home together." He paused, and for a moment she thought she had finally convinced him.

"I will do as mother wishes."

She watched as he disappeared from sight; her heart breaking. Closing her eyes, she brought the bracelet on her right wrist up to brush her lips against it. Plain beads, alternating between black and white... yin and yang... so very much like him.

He paced back and forth like a caged beast, letting out sighs and grunts of irritation. He would occasionally run a hand through his hair, or repeatedly clench and unclench his fists.

"I just don't get it! She confuses me to no end, but I always seem to want her company. The things she's able to invoke in me... I don't understand. It's so damn frustrating!"

"Perhaps... You're in love." Yazoo suggested slowly.

"What? Don't be stupid." He faltered, denying his brother's statement; but the thought had already planted itself in his head. He quickly regain composure. "Mother is what matters right now. Loz! Gather our brothers and sisters. It's time you and Yazoo took them back to Midgar to prepare them." He commanded, climbing onto his motorcycle.

"Where are you going?" Loz asked.

"Me? I've got a president to meet." And with that said, he was gone.
