004 || it was all just a dream

[lottato_prima]

I...

I can't... remember anything. What happened to make me act like that, what I was even thinkin'... I know I tried to get back to the elevator. I saw the storm coming.

[He runs a hand through his hair, now furious that he had been that easily manipulated.]

I just can't do it.

...most of the time, when a victim only remembers an area, it's due to some sort of mental block. Such as witnessing an event, torture or... Well, I am not sure, but there could be a few other possibilities. The number - does it hurt at all?

[ He's seen his share of torture tactics, so...he feels slightly bad for being so abrupt. All that "necessary tough love yeah yeah" stuff. ]

Torture... sad to say, it wouldn't be the first time I've dealt with somethin' like that. Somethin' more than a little storm happened, I can tell you that much.

[Bright blue eyes glance back at the wristband, thinking.]

I'm... I'm not sure about the number though. All I know is that something about it made me try an' kill my friends. It's enough to make me pissed.

... A psychological occurrence, then. Or a physical one that created a psychological one. [ He really shouldn't be surprised anymore. ] How did you awaken from it?

I ran into Sephiroth, as far as I can remember. He... started talkin' about another friend of mine, one I'd lost several years ago. He talked about how said friend would've been disappointed in the way I was acting, at how selfish it was.

I guess the realization of that finally screwed my head on right again.

...Sephiroth?

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

He's... a friend of mine here. You've never heard of 'im?

[loyalhand.livejournal.com]

No... But the fact that his words broke your stupor so - he must be very important to you.

...some things happened, back on our world that he doesn't know about yet. He's one of my best friends here, I... I don't know what I'd do if he was gone again, y'know?

[loyalhand.livejournal.com]

I understand. And I hope that does not happen.

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

It won't. Whatever happens, I'm gonna make sure everyone's okay here.

[loyalhand.livejournal.com]

...That is very forward.

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

You expect any less?

... It is reassuring to know that friendship is still strong in this place.

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

I'll keep it alive. Anyway I can.

If we're all livin' here together, we should help each other out. Especially if there's another attack like this again.

Havin' friends fight friends is just... wrong, man.

I agree. You have the right mindset.
