Author's Notes: My god, can't I be nice to Reeve? I know Reeve sounds childish in this story, but he has a limited mental capacity, yes?
Theme: Broken
Hallucinations
It would be easier to start off by telling you what isn't wrong with me. I'm in really good health. I've also got a lot of money. I have ten whole dollars in my pocket right now! And I'm smart, really smart… when things are going my way.
You see, I have these really, um, what are they called, oh yeah 'vivid delusions', but it isn't 'schizophrenia'. No one can figure out just what is wrong with my eyes and ears and head and imagination. It isn't that I always see things that aren't real, but they do happen a lot. They get so bad that I don't know what is real from what isn't real. A lot of the other patients say that my mind is broken and that my imagination is 'over-active'. Whatever that means.
Why just yesterday I had the COOLEST 'hallucination'. I was a hero against this really bad guy who was going to use a giant fire rock to destroy the world. The best of all was that all of my friends from the hospital was there. But they were all really different. Cloud, this really timid weak guy who can't talk was the big important hero. It was great to see what he could be like if he wasn't broken like me. Then there was Tifa, who thought she was a cowgirl. She was Cloud's hot girlfriend, but she looks kinda plain when I'm not seeing things.
Nanaki, he acts like he is a cat, so maybe that is why he was that awesome lion thingy. And Barret, he has the mind of a five year old, but he's a lot of fun. He gives you piggy back rides if you ask really nicely! Yuffie, who was in the thingy too, she's the bestest nurse ever, almost like Aeris, my doctor.
Yet the doctors say I got violent towards the end yesterday. That is why I was tied up. When I'm bad and I hurt people they tie me up, for my safety they say. So I don't break any bones. I think it really is because they don't want me to break my mind anymore.
But maybe it is more broken. Because I'm seeing a lot of blood, and I don't think it is real. Then again, when I don't think things are real they tend to be just that. So, whose blood is it? I don't feel pain, so maybe it isn't me.
"Reeve," a voice gasped from the door. Yuffie. "What have you done?"
I look around and note a bloody metal thing in my hand. It was covered in red. Then I saw Aeris on the floor. She had a lot of red on her too.
"She was broken," I say, but it doesn't feel like me talking, "I fixed her…"
