123... geostigma is a bad word

[atouchofstrife]

So they did it. Imagine that. I guess that if we had this kind of talent back home, the stigma wouldn't get so far. Let's start with those affected the worse and go from there.

...This makes it what? A nice round hundred times I nearly died? Let's see... there's the reactor, the mountain bridge, the reactor, the mansion, the barracks, that one mission with Zack, that other time with that scientist, hmm... Loz and Yazoo almost got me - right in the heart, yet here I am.

You'd think that someone would get lucky and kill me the right way. Then again, Aerith keeps on kicking me back out of the Lifestream. Maybe she doesn't like being called 'Mother'.

Yeah?

It was part of an experiment, right? I just think that, well... I couldn't expect someone not to change after realizing something like that.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Didn't he know, though? I mean, stuck around Hojo all that time, wouldn't he know?

[monsternorangel.livejournal.com]

It was a while before any of us knew. Maybe it should have been obvious, but... they never told us anything. Genesis and I had to find out on our own, so I wouldn't doubt if it was the same for him as well.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Huh.

He found Hojo's notes in Nibelhiem.

You mentioned that a lot of things happened there. That kind of seems to be the turning point - the difference between how I knew him before, and how you know him now.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I still can't understand why that would push him over the edge.

Those things had a big impact on all of us. I suppose it's just a matter of how we chose to deal with it. Of course, it seems we were all kind of lacking when it came to our... better judgment then, but that's another story.

It's kind of difficult to explain, but I suppose it's just that I can kind of... relate.

You're still human, no matter what he did to any of you.

OHH if you could see the face he's making at you, Cloud. |D

[monsternorangel.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but maybe not. It sure doesn't feel that way.

sorry angeal~

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I know. But dwelling on what makes you less human never gets anything done.

;--;

[monsternorangel.livejournal.com]

...maybe you're right.
