122... running while standing still

I think... we might have a chance. How's everyone holding up? No new cases? ~~Maybe we caught it before it spread too much. Without them here, that's a good thing, right?~~

Sorry if I was being an ass the other day. Bad memories. ~~Just waiting for something else to hit. I can't believe this is here and there's no clones coming after me. It feels too weird.~~

Got a twenty-five year old bottle of scotch to crack open when we figure this out. Here that, Reno? Get your ass out of the sulks and get back here before it's gone.

... Cloud. How are you?

I'm fine. ...How are you, Anita?

... the lesions are fading, Cloud.

...Are you getting anything else besides them? Like silver in your hair?

I wouldn't know that. Still can't walk very far. Rachel brought us in to the hospital.

Hm.

She's bringing Kitty here too. I'm making sure they got some rooms ready for them.

I don't have a new case, but our quarantine got crashed yesterday.

It did? Do you know by who?

A friend, from our world. He snuck in to see Kitty while I was at the hospital.

He's...how do I say this? Kinda anti-social? He won't go around other people, especially now that he's been exposed, but I thought I should report it.

...I know the type. Used to be the same way until I hit a couple curses here.

Okay, thanks. Maybe he'll come in if we get a cure.

How's Kitty doing? Do you need anything?

Immune system like his, I doubt he'll even get sick.

Kitty's...not doing well. I think I'll be bringing her to the hospital soon.

He could possibly carry it. Jenova cells aren't normal.

Would you need help getting her here? I've got a bike and a Statis materia.

He knows, I told him everything I knew when I was telling him to stay away.

No, I won't need help. I can fly and put a telekenitc shield around her. We'll be fine, I just...need to wait until she's ready to go.

Huh, I guess we'll just have to see what he does next.

Alright. I'll tell them to get some rooms ready for you two.

I'll keep an eye on him, who knows if I take her to the hospital he might follow. They're pretty close.

Thanks, Cloud. How are you holding up?

I'll make it three rooms then.

A little tired, but that's normal. I've been showing the magic group what materia is and how it works and it can be a little draining.

You should try and get some rest.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything you're trying to do for everyone, but if you keel over from exhaustion...

I'll rest once this is over with.

...I don't need sleep like regular humans do.

That sounds familiar.

And now I'm jealous.

Another friend says that?

Don't be. We all have our quirks.

I have multiple friends with that kind of attitude. The other version of that saying is, "I'll sleep when I'm dead."

...which actually doesn't even apply to the City, does it?

My friends usually try to get me to stop being so stubborn and get some sleep, or at least try knocking me out. Unfortunately I have a thick skull.

Death? No, it doesn't, but it's not a good thing. There's no heart beat and no warmth.

Fortunately for you, though.

I can't imagine what that's like.

I had a couple friends City-dead, and one that is dead back home here. It's... weird. Not hearing their hearts beat or feeling their warmth. It's something I can pick up on when being around people, but not the dead.

Sounds it. Why d'you suppose that happens here?

I don't know. Sometimes I think it's to keep the torment up, other times, to keep people here. They can't leave when they die here. I've heard that one a couple times.

It's not fair, it just seems...cruel. Not that anyone in my family has room to speak about coming back from the dead, but still.

It is. For everyone.

...Yet, it brought back my mentor. I'd never see him again if it wasn't for this place.

You do have a point, Cloud. I suppose for some people that's a gift.

Yeah, in some ways I guess.

I'll see you in a few.

See you soon.
