A reflection on Angsty Yuffie, who didn't believe that love was worth it. And Yuffie, in her own way, trying to figure things out.
Disclaimer: SquareEnix owns the recognisable bits.
Yuffie.
Death: the act of dying; the end of life; the total and permanent cessation of all the vital functions of an organism.
When she thought about it later, it struck her as an odd thing to say.
"We thought you were dead!"
"... did… did Cloud tell you that..?"
Why hadn't Tifa just denied it? Why ask if Cloud had told them that?
And there was the fact that Tifa hadn't looked at her whilst saying it.
A terrible thought niggled at her.
Had Tifa died?
Talking to her…
…hugging her…
…it was impossible to believe that this woman, so full of life, could ever die.
Rinoa had talked about them being 'in limbo' but what did that mean exactly?
Was it possible to die, but not really die?
What would keep you tied to life even after death?
The answer to that was right in front of her face.
It was in Rinoa's smile and Squall's eyes.
It was in Tifa's gentle touches and Cloud's intent gaze.
…Perhaps love wasn't so bad after all.
