Chapter 2

~Seifer~

Wiping down the last glass and putting it on the shelf, I throw the towel in the sink. Another calm shift with no disturbances. Winhill, being the calm town it is, doesn't have too much in the way of problems. Probably why I chose the town to run away to. Most people don't recognize me and I prefer it that way. The events of two years ago are very vague in my mind, almost as if I am watching them through someone else's eyes. I shake those images from my head, shut the lights off and close the door.

Molly, who is the owner of the Flower restaurant and adjoining hotel, allows me to stay there as long as I pull my weight around the bar next door and help with clearing monsters in the fields nearby. Following the first sorceress war, many of Winhills population was sent to fight for Galbadia's army, thus leaving the quiet town to be quite overrun by Bite Bugs and Grats. I make my way towards the fields, taking out one after another of the things. I can tell when I haven't been in a few days as there are more than usual.

Now, with the whole week off, I decide I should probably check on Matron and Cid who, having recently returned to the Orphanage, are in need a lots of help fixing it up. Getting back to my room in the hotel I put Hyperion right in the shower before I accidentally get Grat guts all over the furniture.

I go over to the small desk that has my laptop on it and check my emails. As expected, one new email from Matron. Her and Cid are the only two people who know where I ended up or who actually give a crap about me. Which I'm fine with. Honestly, last year I tried letting someone in and it bit me in the ass. Melody… That name did not suit her in the least. She was brash and rough and probably what I needed at the time but getting rid of the woman was next to impossible. She threw a vase at my head and it went right through the hotel window. Molly, who is kind enough to let me stay here, was not pleased to say the least. That being said I kind of vowed to not let anyone in going forward. I've had enough bad stuff in my life and that's generally all I attract. The Bad…

Matrons email reads

Hello Dear,

Hope you are doing well in Winhill still. Me and Cid are quite excited to see you this coming week. Between me and you I think Cid has been going a little nutty in his retirement. He's used to so many people being around. The isolation of the Orphanage here is really getting to him, so I'm sure it will do him really good to see you.

See you soon

Cid's going nuts, I'm not surprised, I really don't know why those two never had kids of their own. Maybe she is scared of having her powers passed on. I guess that's why the orphanage was working so well for them.

I toss my hair back and go to reply, all the while thinking I really have to do something about my hair these days, it is getting completely out of control.

Hi M,

I should be there late Sunday afternoon. Look forward to seeing you and Cid, I'll bring him more puzzles from town to cheer him up. He always likes those.

I close my laptop and go deal with the gross mess that is Hyperion smelling up my Shower.

Whenever I go back to the orphanage I always think back and reminisce of the good times. Happier times. I wonder where everyone ended up and how they are. I don't want to see them as I can't bear to face them after the second sorceress war. But I think of the gang, and mostly, that day where I stole fireworks to make someone smile. I wonder how she is.
