"Min?"
Min jerked her head up from the handcuff keeping her to the bed, barely believing her ears or eyes as Genesis approached
"No...this is impossible. You can't be here." She whispered, staring back down at her hospital gown, which hung over a white nightgown. They'd been running more tests-and MRI most recently. Her structure was stable apparently.
"But I am. I found you." Genesis smiled as he sat beside her.
"I'm so sorry..." Min whispered, her eyes beginning to water. He reached up slowly and brushed a hand across her cheek, wiping her eyes.
"There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds." He quoted a segment of Loveless as he caressed her cheek.
Min broke down into tears as she collapsed against him, sobbing. Genesis rubbed her back lightly as he lifted her chin.
"It's all going to be alright..." He whispered before kissing her. But the first thing Min realized was that this kiss was all wrong, so different from the last...
This Genesis had woken up in a lab only a few hours earlier. He had no life before that. Hojo was waiting for him, chuckling.
"So identical...your name is Genesis. You know the play Loveless, and only care to Minerva...
"No!"
Min pushed Genesis away-no, she pushed the replica away.
"You're not real! You're not him!" She screeched. folding up with her face in her knees and refusing to look up.
"You can't pawn a fake on me Shin-Ra! Leave me alone! The real one isn't here, and I doubt he'll come for me! I didn't leave on the best of terms!" She screamed before falling back into her meditative state. Sure it was black with glowing green strands in the life stream, but she liked it there.
