"Giving yourself brain damage won't help either."
"What are you doing?"
"Hm, let's see, there's his scent that you should know by now, and he wrapped his tentacles and wings around you which Zack didn't have."
He flinched. "Now he thinks you hate his scent."
"Before Cloud took you, you kept on biting him and trying to get to Bryant when he was trying to stop you, so lost in his mind, he thought you disliked him. He thinks you accepted Cloud doing you know what to you so he figured you left him for Cloud. Plus the Lady of Fate hates him so he doesn't want to harm the family any further by saying with them."
He flinched. "Nothing."
"Yelling at him won't help."
He still didn't respond.
He didn't respond to her affection.
"Then go see him and stop bugging me!"
"Do you have any idea what you've done?!" She snapped as she braced herself against a tree while clutching her head.
"She hates him for no reason so he's staying away from the family to keep them from getting the bad luck too."
"I'm sure she wouldn't mind once she's seen what happened to Sephiroth. The other is the Lady of Fate."
"One you can't get to and the other, well, it's Cloud again."
"Non-responsive, sanity shattered, and horribly depressed."
He didn't respond.
He didn't answer as he buried his face into the top of his knees.
He wrapped his arms around his knees.
He slipped his ring off his finger and tossed it away. She started eating it.
He teleported to another planet and sat on a rock.
