Aren't you supposed to know this stuff, though?

Not little things. The degree of which people can stand having me around is one of the few things I can control. Sometimes when something consequential comes up in conversation, I feel it. But otherwise, I guess most of what I say or do to others doesn't register.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Well... him getting knifed in some drug deal would be a pretty big thing, right? Can you see that happening?

...If you see it? Do you see things?

Sometimes I see things. Vividly. Big things, like... when Aerith...

...

It was like I just knew it was going to happen. Even before I knew anything else about how things would go.

-Actually breaks eye contact with his knees to look at him-

You — you saw that?

...What's it like?

Like... I don't know how to describe it. Like trying to remember a dream, and you're not sure if you're remembering it as it was or if you're just piecing it back with anything that makes sense.

When I saw her, it was like... things were starting to add up. I knew she was going to die, and at the start that was all I knew. But I couldn't say anything, because if I did, things would change for the worse.

...How long has it been like that? Have you always been able to do it?

It came and went up until I started running with AVALANCHE. Then, constantly.

Did...

-Shifts uncomfortably-

Did you know what was gonna happen to you and Zack?

... Bits and pieces.

Sometimes it's just a feeling, or a little compulsion you didn't realise was there until it's fulfilled.

I was worried I'd die in there, at first. Zack was too, even if he didn't wanna say it.

Did you know you'd... that you'd get out one day?

-Nods-

-Is clearly not sure what to make of this-

-It sounds a lot different than what you went through-

-But at the same time...-

-Don't want to think about this-

...Reno's my CO now.

He's a funny asshole, but he's still an asshole.

Maybe that's why Tseng hasn't cut his tongue out yet.

Does it matter if I am?

I don't care about the body. I mean will you be okay?

Can you really do this forever?

I didn't mean the body.

As long as I keep finding new timelines with fresh bodies, I guess. They don't have to be mine.

Not like I have a choice, anyway, even after I get tired of it. Whenever that will be.

Maybe.

...For a while, back when I was... y'know...

I kept trying to save Zack. I just wanted one timeline where he lived, even if it meant I coulddn't.

I screwed it up so many times it... it just stopped meaning anything. That I could see him get shot and — and not care. I couldn't care about anything. Zack, or Tifa, or Sephiroth, or...

Eventually, they helped me forget most of it. That helped, I think.

...I think that, as much as just being alone forever, scares me. I don't want it to mean nothing.

...I don't know if this will make me happy, either. Just puppeting around dead kids and waiting two decades to see if I can start a family that'll make me even a fraction of how happy I was with them. I can't... if I can't have them back, it might be nice to be at peace, like they are. Or... I don't know. Just not existing is probably different from being at peace in the Lifestream.

I feel like it'd be a waste if I didn't try. I think they'd be mad if I didn't.

I don't know. I thought I — I wanted to go with them, when they started fading. She went in her sleep, at least. She was smiling. I wanted to go with her...

...

Doesn't matter now.

I'm here, pretending to be alive, and Tifa is a man, and apparently she's better at it than I am.
