Directly linked to the previous chapter. And because of that, and also cos my up-dates have been rubbish, I'm up-dating them together.

Time is going to become quite flexible now with gaps and leaps occurring, but I'm not going to flag these up and tell you exactly how much time is passing, I'm leaving that up to you guys.

Yuffie.


Want: to wish, need, crave, demand, or desire; to be without or be deficient in.

Sometimes Yuffie caught Squall, sorry, Leon, looking at things that weren't there.

Staring into space, yet, actually looking at something.

Of course he denied it, but she knew the truth.

She knew he hadn't let go…

…hadn't given up hope.

Seeing the proof of that though, that was painful to watch.

The way he would stare so intently…

…every fibre of his being focused on one spot…

…as if he could make her come back through his will alone…

…only to be disappointed, as he always was, always would be

…that hurt to watch.

Sometimes, she would try to see what he was seeing, but there was nothing.

Yuffie wondered if that was because nothing was there…

…or because she just didn't want it enough.
