100... parents are

[atouchofstrife]

My father... I never knew him. Mom said I have his hair, and that I had his smile. I didn't like smiling even then because I knew it hurt her. Sometimes, she wouldn't even see me, but him.

ShinRa killed him. They said he went missing in the mountains, that one of the dragons probably got him, but he was a Strife. We were all Strife. We knew the ways.

I never listened to them when I should have. I don't remember all the ways.

...Huh. Curse day?

Your father sounds like a brave and honorable man, Cloud.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

He was, I guess.

I don't remember my mother. Her face, the sound of her voice. But I know she was a good, kind woman.

You must know your father was a good man, too.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Did you hear stories of her?

He was my mother's life.

[invocadora.livejournal.com]

Some, yes.

As my mother was my father's before she passed on, and bringing peace and safety back to Spira became his life.

Always thought you looked like Rufus, from a distance.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't that have been a riot? Me, his brother?

[elevatorwarrior]

Actually...

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

...Reno.

What?! The President's been known to sow his wild oats all over the damned place.

I suppose it would be pointless for me to apologise for what Shinra did to your father?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Just find me my old footlocker when we get home, Tseng.

[turk-director.livejournal.com]

I'll put it on my to-do-list.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Curse day. I usually don't talk about my parents.

[itachi-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

Ya okay?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

My... Tifa's gone.

[itachi-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

People come and go, huh . . . it's so messed up . . .

Sorry, man.

It's a weird one, that's for sure.
