    Summary

    “Thanks for this, really,” said the girl from before, suddenly next to him. She didn’t seem in a hurry to leave. “I’m Aerith, by the way,” she continued, extending a hand. “We… haven’t met before, right?” she asked when Cloud didn’t immediately shake it. “Oh, please tell me I didn’t forget who you are and introduced myself again.”

    Cloud let out a snort. “No, no. I’m, uh, Cloud,” he said, gingerly shaking her hand.

    “I know,” she said, nodding towards the name tag. “I don’t have one yet. So you’ll just have to remember my name for now.” She turned to the kids as Cloud furrowed his brows. “Hey, everyone! My name’s Aerith—I’ll be your guide, tonight! Why don’t we all introduce ourselves?”

    As the kids started rattling off their names, Cloud just stared at Aerith. She was the new girl?

    Summary

    The one thing we are guaranteed in our lives is that we will die - Aerith knows it, Sephiroth knows it, and Cloud has to accept it. Caught between engulfing despair and unwavering resolve, destructive rage and healing love, Cloud must choose his path - he must decide if this is a world worth saving. Concurrently, all who love Cloud struggle to find a way to save him from the double pronged assault on his heart.

    TLDR; A Clerith story with some evident baggage. Thinly veiled post-Rebirth self-therapy.
