[Cloud is stood out somewhere rather secluded, surrounded by snow. He sighs softly, his gaze falling.]

Tifa... I... [He pauses for a long moment, his gaze finding the screen for a brief second before he averts it again.]

I'm going to pick up Fenrir, then I promised Marlene I'd come home. I... I don't know what I'm supposed to say...

I know why you're mad at me, but I don't think you understand me... [He frowns and looks at the screen with shimmering blue eyes that could melt even the coldest heart.]

I'll be home soon. We should talk instead of shout...

[He cuts the transmission quickly.]

And I want you to do the same. I want to make this work.

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

I will. Even if there are still differences between us... The important thing is to know where we both are.

[video]

[loveandstrife.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [He sighs and looks away.]

...Marlene called me. Did you know?

[video]

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

She wants you to come back.

[video]

[loveandstrife.livejournal.com]

I told her I would. I will.

... ...... did you know she has a crush on Firion?

[video]

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

Well, she misses you, we all-

What? Really?

[video]

[loveandstrife.livejournal.com]

Yeah, really. [He laughs slightly.]

I was only teasing at first, but she admitted it to me.

Well... Whoever would have guessed that a pet dog would be the way to Marlene's heart. Young love, hmm.
