Seeing Zack wasn't as big of a surprise as it might have been a few years ago. Cloud had gotten used to the flashbacks and dreams of the days he'd had with his friend when Zack had been alive. He welcomed them. They were true memories, and not the ones that he had stolen and made his own. They were also the only way he had to hold ont his friend in the years since he'd last seen Zack's ghost. Cloud had never been able to work out if Zack's visits had ended because Sephiroth had been defeated, or because Zack had moved beyond a place where he could reach out to the living, but he'd always had the sense that, one way or another, Zack would always be with him. Still, it had been a small shock to hear that Zack had arrived in the flesh. His death had been such a large part of Cloud's life that thinking of him any other way took some adjustment. Cloud was thrilled, of course, but almost afraid to believe that it was true. There were days when Cloud still questioned his own sanity, usually when the world turned itself upside down. Being pulled through the tesseract counted as one of those times. Some nights, Cloud woke up and stared at the ceiling, wondering if this was all a dream. So far, a brisk walk in the chill night air up on the roof was enough to snap him back into reality. Tonight, though ... Well, tonight, he'd believe he wasn't seeing things if he could reach out to clasp Zack's hand and actually feel Zack's grip. |
