A/N: About Aerith/Cloud, as requested.
96. Chain
Cloud knew very well that Aerith was worried about him, because he was neither stupid, nor heartless. However, that didn't mean that he wanted to tell her about his problems with his dark inner self.
The Darkness around him, inside of him, it felt like a chain, holding him where it wanted him to be. There was no Light, not even Aerith's, that could break through those chains of Darkness. If Cloud told her all this, then she might only want to try and prove him wrong. He didn't want her to get hurt because of a jerk like him.
A/N: Hope you liked it. Next chapter will be, as requested, about Re: coded. :)
