There were too many orphans in Edge.
Too many lives lost when Meteor fell. Too many lives lost to violence. Too many gone to Geostigma. Too many who had just given up.
A year after his marriage to Vincent, the two had decided to take a trip down to Edge to visit Cloud and Tifa and pick up some parts on the way. It was then, walking the streets that Cid noticed it. Children were everywhere, running about. Orphanages were filled to the brim. Sad faces lined the street. Cid decided quickly.
It wasn't like he was getting any younger.
