Yeah it...happens. If you die here, if you're a Hero, you turn to crystal and may wake up a week later. Others just change without warning. Some wake up and some don't.

And no, Gaia's not bad. But almost everyone I care about is here. And as long as Sephiroth and I are here then maybe...well maybe certain things won't happen.

[He sighs and rubs the back of his neck, looking up at the sky.]

Sorry. Maybe it's just selfish of me to think that way. But here I can be a Hero instead of being a grunt. Even if I don't become the person that the others expect me to be, at least it's something I chose.
