Yuffie skipped into the old church where Aeris tended her small garden of flowers.
"Aeris!" she called out. However she received no answer.
She walked over to the flowers and knelt down at the edge, admiring the beautiful white and yellow petals. An earthy and perfume-like smell reached her nose, and she inhaled deeply. Yuffie always loved this small, rare patch of life growing in the dark and grey city of Midgar. She hated the dirty slums and dark alleys, for she was used to growing up in the majestic village of Wutai where rivers snaked through the land and plants and flowers thrived in the fertile soils of the west.
The old church was the only place for miles around where Yuffie could feel at peace, laying among the grass and flowers. It was her place of solitude, her refuge from the sadness and darkness that cloaked the slums in Midgar. She closed her eyes and imagined that she was out in the vast flower fields back home in Wutai, losing herself in her colorful daydreams.
