[FF7][SC] Star Flower

Emilia is a woman who likes to "nosy", which can be seen from the adoption of Alice.She always knew there was something unusual about Alice and tried to hide it in order to protect her from Shinra's reign of terror.But this time—sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night, and even bringing back a naked feral man—it was really beyond her tolerance.

But seeing that her beloved daughter was about to cry in a hurry, and the child being carried was only a half-grown child, and she was still wet all over. She didn't know if there was any accident, Emilia finally softened her heart, and hurriedly opened the door help.

At four o'clock in the morning the cabin lights up.

As soon as she took over, Emilia realized that the boy was special——for this size, he was too light.Based on her many years of experience in moving goods, it was less than [-] kilograms, which is why Alice was able to carry him back by herself.But it was still very heavy for Alice, and she didn't seem to notice it.She sent Alice to change her clothes quickly, then carried Claude to the bathroom on the second floor, put him in the tub, and turned on the hot water.

The heat evaporated, and the pale skin became slightly rosy.She carefully supported his head to avoid suffocation from slipping into the water, and then groped with the other hand to check.Unexpectedly, there were no wounds, and even the underside of the hair was combed carefully, without any scabs or unevenness.Best of all, no pinholes.But even the children of those powerful families could not have no scars, which was abnormal, but compared to their weight, it was not so strange.

"How is he?" Alice asked worriedly as she knelt by the tub while wiping her hair, "His heartbeat has been slow all the time, has it recovered?"

"Who is he?"

"Mom, it's not about these—"

"Then what should I say?" Emilia said with a straight face, "Tell me when you slipped out? Where did you get into such trouble?"

"Uh..." Alice, who felt wronged, stuck out her tongue, "Well, his name is Claude, and he is my friend."

"When did you meet?"

"Hmm...about three years?"

"Don't laugh at me!" Emilia reprimanded with anger from nowhere, "It's been three years, and I didn't even know you had such a friend. If there were no accidents, you wouldn't even plan to Tell me? What else are you hiding from me? You have grown up and your wings have hardened..." While counting, the movements at hand did not fall.She counted silently for a while, and there were only fifteen times in a minute.

It can't be the heartbeat of a human being.

"We'll take him to the shelter at dawn."

"mom!"

"You've got to listen to me on this one, he can't stay here. He must have escaped from some lab, and the army will come after him. Get him out of here before it gets any more troublesome. .So it's decided."

"Mom, listen to me! Mom!"

"This is the end of the matter."

"I also escaped from the laboratory!"

An eerie silence fell between mother and daughter.After a while, Emilia let go of her hands uncomfortably, let Claude rest on the edge of the bucket, and then wiped her hands with her pajamas. "That's not what I meant," she said. "I love you. I never wanted to lose you. I was just... just too scared, do you understand? Alice, I only have you, and I can't lose you, even Not even the slightest chance of that."

"I know." Alice leaned on her shoulders, "you've been worrying about me. But mother... please believe me... it's going to be okay, you won't lose me. It's the right thing to do, just like you Leave me, and keep him now, okay?" She thought for a while, and then promised, "I will sell more flowers, so it won't be a burden!"

Emilia looked at Alice's twinkling green eyes and wondered how the little devil's gaze was so cute and irresistible.In the end, she sighed from the bottom of her heart, and scratched Alice's nose helplessly, "It's agreed, let him leave when he regains consciousness."

At dawn, Emilia had to leave the house yawning and finishing her work.And as night fell, she came back later than usual, with a feeding tube and some needles.She works as a nurse in a small clinic, where one person often has to wear several hats.But when she got home, Cloud was sober and able to sit up briefly.She knew that Alice must have done something secretly, but she wouldn't ask more.

To be honest, Emilia was relieved.She has seen nurses insert feeding tubes into the lungs and patients suffocate to death.She wasn't sure if she really had the ability.

They tried to give Claude some liquid food, milk oatmeal and the like.Claude sat quietly, without any movement of eating.Alice specially mixed in some sugar, and there shouldn't be too much condiment; then, she gently blew it cool, and handed the spoon to the boy's mouth.Still nothing.She put down the bowl nervously, and glanced at Emilia quietly, as if she was afraid of the line "you and a dog can only have one" appearing.

Emilia was in a position to say that, since the dog and Alice really could only support one, although she never asked for it.As Alice grew up, the burden on the family gradually eased, but extra guests were really not acceptable to them.

Emilia raised her eyebrows, "So, your friend is a fool?"

"of course not!"

Pretending to shrug easily, Emilia took the bowl from Alice and signaled her daughter to get out of the way.She took a bite herself, then scooped up another spoonful and handed it to the boy.This time, Claude looked at her, finally opened his mouth slowly, and swallowed it like a model.In this way, one spoonful, one spoonful, until it is all fed.

In any case, as a mother, it is still very good to speculate on the psychology of children.

There are enough rooms and beds in the home, which once existed for other people, and are now cleaned up and made available to guests.

At night, Emilia opened her eyes and looked to the next door. The corner of the quilt was lifted, and Alice had disappeared.She sighed, put on her slippers, and went to touch the bed. The cold temperature showed that the master had been away for a long time.Emilia walked to the next door, and the wooden door creaked.

"Get up." She looked at the obviously raised quilt and said softly.

Knowing that she couldn't hide anymore, Alice slowly raised her head and muttered, "Mom..."

"You're only 15 years old, and you're not married yet." Emilia pointed out calmly, "Go back to sleep in your own room."

"He can't keep his body temperature. It won't work if this continues." Alice hugged the boy tightly, not letting go, "He won't do anything to me."

It should have been thought that such a slow heartbeat could not provide enough heat for the body.Looking at Alice's stubborn face, Emilia couldn't get angry at all. She really deserves to be a child raised by herself, and she looks like everything she shouldn't. "Go back to sleep and wipe off your sweat." She insisted, "I'm watching over here."

"I won't—eh?"

It wasn't until Emilia lay down on the bed from the other side and tore off the overly thick quilt that Alice finally reacted.Embarrassed, she leaned over and kissed her mother's face before jumping out of bed.

Seeing Alice leave, Emilia didn't fall asleep right away. Although she was very tired and wanted to do this very much, the smell of this room...she hasn't been here for a long time.There were some boxes and some children's toys in the corner; she couldn't face them, but she couldn't give them up either, so she could only let them eat ashes.Then she unconsciously stroked the boy's soft blond hair lightly, and checked his temperature again, it was indeed still low.

Lu Yingying's eyes opened, blinking slowly, looking at her blankly, wondering if they were focused.I didn't notice it before, but these eyes were almost exactly the same as Alice's, which somewhat won some goodwill.

And when Claude closed his eyes again, rubbed against her neck nostalgicly, and hummed "Mom" in a soft nasal voice, Emilia's heart skipped a beat.It was the first time she had heard his voice, so lost, so helpless, heartbreaking like a homeless child.

She hugged him uncontrollably, put his hands on her belly, and wrapped her legs around his cold feet.It was hot and the quilt was soaked with sweat, but she couldn't help it.She hugged Claude tightly, listening to his long and weak breathing, trembling slightly.She held her baby like this for many years until he stopped breathing.

Shinra has taken so much, shattered her life and dreams, and now brings new hope.

"You're not an idiot, are you? There will be a day when you'll be back to normal. Then wait until you're better..." before leaving.She choked up, trying to open her wet eyes wide, not wanting to let the tears fall. "You don't have to rush to leave when you're better. This is a place for you to stay."

Cisner's heart is broken.

During her youthful years of only twenty, she encountered countless emergencies.When she was undercover in a terrorist organization, she was ordered to reveal her identity by her superiors, when she was investigating the chaotic private life of the vice president, she was threatened by special forces, and she witnessed her elders who were like teachers and fathers being shot and killed by trusted friends...but never once did she feel so devastated as she is now .

She just went out to get some hypnotic gas, and she came back with so many asses to wipe?

"Zacks? That's it. Your son sneaked off to Cosmo with his chief last night and was arrested for prostitution. He was worried about you, so he secretly called me." She made up a reason in despair, Seeing Marcela's almost fainting face and Zachary's frantic comfort, she understood that this reason convinced them.A startling lie often has surprising effects, but Cisner is still curious about how Zack exists in the eyes of his parents.

"I... I, I, I... I'm going to break his dog's legs right now!" Mr. Phil beat his chest, "I just said that there is no good thing in those big cities, and all good children are taken away!"

Nodding in agreement, Sisne continued to lie without changing his face, "Please don't do this. I promised him, and I won't tell anyone. If you go, he will hate me forever."

"He dares!" His eyes were wide open, as if he was about to take a few sticks, Sisne couldn't help but silently mourned for the young man lying in the basement.

After the silence, continue without guilt. "How about this? When traffic resumes and they come back, you can break his dog...leg. No, no, no, you don't need to go to bail. You know how powerful Shinra is, and they will be fine. "

"Yes, I assure you, he will be back."

Leaving Phil's house, Cisner walked home while sorting out the completed items and thinking about whether there were any omissions.

Wade, Felicia, Tifa, and then Zeng, Genesis, and Zacks sent by Shinra. According to Wade's previous statement, these six people have been bombarded by meteorites. Recycle all.Amazingly, all of them miraculously recovered from their injuries, which is why she was able to maintain her sanity and protect them from the impending danger.Although Wade's condition still caused her unbearable heartache, with the loss of an arm, a leg and an eye, he was still alive.It's great that they're all still alive, and as long as they're alive, there's hope.

He also sent a telegram to Midgar using Genesis's ID, briefly explaining the damage and applying for an extension.I don't know how much time this clumsy trick can buy. I can only pray that they can wake up as soon as possible. After all, it is still very difficult for her to lead Wade and the others to escape.

People in the village have already started whispering and pointing.The resident maintenance crew had just arrived and cordoned off the site, and Cisner knew how shocked they would be when the Mako, which had been able to keep the Gongaga and Cosmo areas powered for a week, was gone.It's not leaking, it's disappearing.Interestingly, this matter will be blamed on terrorists, because the regional leaders cannot afford such a large loss, which will help them cover up somewhat.

However, she still couldn't understand what happened last night.

The topography of the entire hill was changed and turned into a vast plain.The most incomprehensible thing was that dense weeds and shrubs grew on the plain, which was full of vitality and brought her a lot of trouble in finding someone.There is no known magic that has this effect, not to change the destruction at the terrain level, but to rejuvenate life, not so much magic, it should be called... a miracle.

She rubbed the center of her eyebrows tiredly and opened the door.Putting this question aside for now, troubles keep coming one after another.

Kicking off his shoes, he fell into the sofa, buried his face in it, and was depressed for a while, then pulled himself together and went to the basement to check the situation.She also knew that the conditions downstairs were not good, but she couldn't put them upstairs at the risk of being discovered.The snoring continued, mainly from men, even a guy as delicate as a tortoise like Genesis would have no image when he was exhausted.She really didn't have the energy to wash them all, so she just left them stinking, and the rest... let's talk about it.

In particular, Wade and Felicia's physical signs were checked, and they were very stable.She breathed a sigh of relief, gently stroking the severed limb, her eyes were slightly red.No, don't cry, now is not the time to make her weak.After wiping off the slight dampness on the soft bed, he stood up again, and suddenly the vibrating sound of PHS caught his attention.

who?

The base stations don't mean much influence, they have their own power supply.Cisner groped among the men, and finally pulled out the slightly deformed PHS from Genesis's pocket, unexpectedly it could still be used.Open the screen, the remaining power is less than 5%.It's Sephiroth calling.She didn't answer, and she couldn't evade it, but it didn't mean she would miss the message.It reminded her that there were other people's communication devices.

In front of turks, privacy?nonexistent.

Plugged in the power, the dim screen came back on.Flipping through one by one, 67 missed calls, five messages, mostly from Sephiroth, a few belonged to Angel and Gillian, and a few others.

All four messages are from Sephiroth.Cisne was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such an ulterior relationship between Sephiroth and Genesis?No wonder they have been single for many years without even having a girlfriend.But to be honest, she thought it should belong to Angel and Genesis, and the club was talking about it.

The earliest message was from Jillian.

"Jene, about the new flavor you mentioned last time, I tried it, and there is a similar substitute recipe. But apple pie can't be preserved, I'm going to town to see if there is vacuum packaging, send Getting to Midgar will take some time. You won't tell Angel, will you? We agreed to surprise him."

Cisner smiled a little, which was rare.After such a heavy day, she finally had something to warm her to.Set it as unread and broadcast the next one.

"There was a power outage in Gongaga." The deep voice revealed a sense of oppression through the communication equipment.Just a few simple words reminded Sisne of the awe he felt when he first saw Sephiroth.He is so dazzling, full of oppression and aggression, the moment he comes out, he grabs everyone's attention.Until many years later, it is still as clear as ever. "What's the status quo? I need to know more details and get back to me as soon as possible."

There is nothing worth noting, but I can't see anything special between them.Cisner is sure that this is not a love language between lovers.So this is... the occupational disease of workaholics?

The next one is from Angel.

"I heard from Lazard. I'm glad you're all right. But with you here, this kind of worry is really unnecessary. The two of them didn't cause you any trouble, did they?" There was a short silence, but what else is there to see on the progress bar? , she waited patiently, "Although it's not appropriate to say that, can you come back sooner? I...I have something to say to Claude, the sooner the better."

PHS fell on the couch.

Cisner froze for a while, then suddenly stumbled to the living room, where there were several suitcases.She pulled one open, a commando uniform, no.Then the second one, turned out the clothes inside and shook them out, obviously not the size of an adult.A burst of dizziness.She hadn't rested for 36 hours, leaned against the wall for a while, and opened her eyes again.Hastily opened the sofa cushion, found the car keys in the mezzanine, and rushed out the door.

PHS hit the ground, blinked, and the rest of the message played automatically.

"Cloud's positioning is gone. I need an explanation, Genesis."

"Hope you didn't play any dishonorable part in it. It's none of your business. He's mine, he knows it, and he doesn't need anyone else to make decisions for him."

"... Tell Claude for me, I'll give him a week. After a week, I don't mind going to District [-] to find out about his little secret, and I don't mind doing more."

There is no doubt that Claude is the kind of person who inspires motherhood very much.

"Claude can eat it!" The boy raised his spoon.

Just like now, like a two or three-year-old child, who can't tell the relationship between "Claude" and "I", because they call him that, so they call themselves that.He kept repeating what they said, always making mistakes, and it was just so cute.Emilia confirmed with Alice again that he was really not a fool, but this time, it was obviously teasing.It has to be said that Crowder has improved quickly, maybe because it's just getting back what he lost.

"Even if you can eat it." Emilia took the rest of the cereal and bread away with a straight face, "Alice, you too, don't secretly give him food!"

Once they decide to live together, problems follow one after another.First of all, they didn't know how much food to give Claude.At the beginning, Emilia felt that she would stop if he was full, but when Claude amazingly ate a whole pot of stew, five pieces of bread, and some other things, Emilia, who was afraid that he would be overwhelmed, would stop. Millia made a decisive decision and decided to feed based on experience.

It was one thing to think about it as a 14-year-old boy, and another thing to think about it at thirty kilograms, and it did bother her for a while.In the end, she decided to touch the boy's stomach every meal and judge manually.

Another problem is that there are no clothes he can wear in this family. The clothes my husband used to wear are too big for him, and they are easy to bump everywhere.They are working on making their clothes smaller, and they can go to other people's houses to get some worn out clothes in a few days; but before that, they can't be naked.

Emilia's clothes are really just right in terms of height.

This was discovered by Alice.Although at the beginning, Emilia didn't like this approach; but considering the identity of Claude who may be being hunted down, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept.

"Look, I was so thin when I was young." She stretched out her long skirt and gestured at her waist, which was frustratingly thick, "Your father said that when he saw me for the first time, he felt sorry for me." Xixi, I can’t help but want to take care of him. Pooh, I was a pug before I got married, and I became a wolf dog after I got married. One day I won’t be taking care of him. Do you know? He would throw the stinky socks around! Sometimes I jump from the bed There are quite a few pairs that can be found underneath..."

"You didn't stuff the sock into his mouth?" Alice suppressed a smile, took the skirt, and gestured to herself.Emilia used to be really thin, because it might be difficult to wear by herself.But when she found that Claude was able to put it on easily, she couldn't help pinching his face angrily, stretching it out and then loosening it, causing a lot of redness.

"Is there something weird about it?"

Mother and daughter examine their masterpiece.The teenager rested his chin on the table, pouted, stared at them, and silently expressed his desire for extra meals.They had to focus their eyes on him to avoid being shaken. The blue suspender dress and the small white coat blocked the muscles of the arms, and the exposed calves and feet dangled slowly under the skirt, which could barely be seen.

"No?" Alice thought, "After all, it's a boy, so it's almost the same."

"No, look at his hair." Fingers stroked the flying blond hair, and pressed down, "It's long enough, and it can hang down in the shower... Is this really natural?" As soon as the hand was released, the blond hair came back Jumping and bouncing, Emilia couldn't help rubbing it a few more times. It felt so good, "If it weren't for this messy hair, you would have a younger sister."

Alice's hands were itchy too.According to the frequency of their teasing, maybe the poor boy will soon face the problem of alopecia areata.

"Hmm... maybe he needs a sun hat?"

"I really have."

Under the disc, a hat is never a necessity, and there is no sun to keep out.But when Emilia was young, someone bought her a lot of useful and useless things, all of which were cheap goods worth dozens of Gil, but she was fascinated by those cheap goods and followed a stinky man wholeheartedly. .

The white sun hat was quickly turned out of the dusty box, it was decorated with daisies, it was too green and beautiful.Seeing it again, I was deeply moved for a moment, but I didn't think too much about it.The hat was put on the boy's head, forcing the chocobo feathers down.

Big green eyes peeped out from under the brim of the hat, and they rolled around, watching them quietly.

There was a kind of subtle silence in the air.

"...No." Emilia took off her hat, "It can't be like this. If he goes out like this, he will cause a lot of trouble."

Although Alice disagreed, she couldn't help but agree with her mother.She really didn't expect... She knew that the boy's gentle facial features were always indistinguishable... But under the cover of the deceptive thorns, they turned out to be so soft and beautiful.This is definitely not a look that can be walked safely, because this is Midgar, and it is also a slum.

Feeling the suddenly solemn atmosphere, Claude fidgeted, looked at Alice, and then at Emilia.Then he pushed away the chair, walked up to Emilia, hugged her coquettishly, and rubbed her cheek affectionately.

"Don't be like this, you're dead." Emilia pushed him gently, turning her head embarrassedly.

Claude tilted his head, quickly pecked her sideways lightly, and smiled silly.

Emilia wiped her face, defeated.

"If someone is with you...it's not impossible."

The task of bathing Claude was contracted by Alice.

Washing him is like washing a large dog, prevent him from splashing water all over the place excitedly, and also prevent him from spitting bubbles in the water for too long and drowning and suffocating.He really has no common sense at all. He has completely forgotten the basic concepts needed to survive as a human being. If he is not careful, he will do terrible things-touch the flames jumping from the stove, hold the sharp edges of knives , and sometimes even forget to breathe.Thankfully, these things only happened once or twice before they never happened.

The little yellow duck attracted the boy's attention, allowing Alice to brush his back smoothly and calmly.

Fingertips slide down the raised spine, bit by bit, slowly.

"You've been unhappy, haven't you?" she said slowly, her eyes dimming, "I've never seen you so happy...I thought I could make you relax, every time you fell asleep with me... …but I never knew what it was like when you were happy until today."

"So... you can laugh like that."

Carefree, the whole world is therefore brilliant.

His forehead was pressed against the edge of the barrel, his nose was slightly sour, and his vision gradually blurred.Claude always smiled at her, except for the first time when he shed tears, he kept smiling.He is really an incredible existence, knowing her identity as an ancient species, understanding her pain and troubles, listening most of the time and never giving advice... He always said that she should do what she wants to do, no one can do it Her life dictates.

Before surviving as an ancient species, she was Alice first.

"But I can't do anything... I don't know anything... Your eyes... Your voice..."

She heard voices.The indistinct murmurs came from the boy continuously; sometimes there were terrible screams and moans, and she would try to soothe them until Claude could loosen his frowning brows and let him sleep in a relaxed sleep that he hadn't seen for a long time. a while.But other than that, no help.

She was ignorant of everything that was going on, whether it was what Claude was suffering, his troubles and changes, or the dark and nameless shadow that hung over all of their futures, which seemed to be hidden. Invisible hands stand in the way of her life.She is living in a transparent birdcage, looking up at the occasional starlight.

This is not the life she wants.

"I know you're scared. I'm scared too." Gently leaning against his back, he murmured softly, "When you think about it, tell me, we can face it together. If... just if, want It’s okay not to get up, it’s fine now.”

She wants to spread her wings to protect him, she wants the breeze to touch his peaceful sleeping face, she wants to banish all unbearable nightmares for him, and she wants the stars to illuminate his way forward. [1]

"That's it... stay with me?"

"……are you a pig?"

Cloud can always find someone willing to give him food.

It was not difficult to discover this, because Claude didn't know how to hide it.If he gets delicious pies, small cakes, biscuits, omelets, chocolates—mostly given by middle-aged women in the neighborhood and stuffed in through tiny windows—he will not only eat them everywhere It is a trace, and it will leave a part for them.This is probably why he can grow from thirty kilograms to forty kilograms in a week, and has the potential to grow like a pig.

"I'm not a pig. But I like bacon."

"Okay, I actually learned to refute. As a reward, shall we have a bacon burger?"

Alice responded with small cheers.

The skirt is on, the sandals are on, and the cute hat holds down the blonde hair.Alice held Claude in one hand and the basket in the other, and sent some flowers to Maxin's shop by the way.They walked through the low huts, and the puddles made their reflections in the ripples. Leaving home seemed to enter another world, a world as cold as metal and grotesque.Sometimes Claude would stop at certain places, such as abandoned railway tracks, deep alleys, dripping tunnels... But when Alice stopped to ask, he shook his head again and continued walking without any abnormality.

The wooden door was pushed open with a creak, and the wind chime swayed and collided crisply.

Before Alice said anything, Claude had already sat at the table for four; she felt a little strange, but she helped Ma Kexin insert the flowers into the glass bottle half filled with water, and then placed the glass bottle on the table. on the table.There were quite a few guests, most of them were sitting at the bar, eating lunch and watching TV, while some occupied the square tables, making jokes in twos and threes, smoking, drinking and playing cards.Their overalls were stained with oil, and the air was filled with a faint smell of magic. Noisy arguments filled the small space, brimming with joy and vitality.

Looking back, I was so angry that there were already suspicious middle-aged people hooking up with the young man, and they almost put their mouths together to chew on it.

"Get out of the way, this is my place."

"You can't say that. There are only two of you, and you can't occupy four seats." With a grin, his teeth yellowed by inferior cigarettes were exposed.

Alice pouted.She could have brought up their savage wife as a threat as usual; but this time, she suddenly became playful and leaned into the man's ear, showing a devilish smile. "Do you believe it, he's bigger than you down there?"

"..."

The man glanced at Claude in disbelief, then looked back at Alice.At this moment, the boy held up the menu and said in an unquestionable male voice, "I want apple pie and raspberry jam."

Taking a breath like suffocating, the man flinched and fled.

Alice lay on the table laughing for a long time and couldn't straighten up, but Claude could only watch in confusion, not understanding what happened.

"Burger, french fries, and soda." Ma Kexin delivered the food to their table. "The apple pie will have to wait for a while. There are a lot of people now, so it's too busy." She didn't leave immediately, considering It is very abnormal to have insufficient manpower.Wiping her hands with her apron, she asked curiously, "Alice, who is this lady?"

"Claudia, my mother's cousin." At the same time, he kicked the boy, signaling him to nod to cooperate, "Is she like a doll? To be honest, I don't even dare to take her out."

"What's so scary about having you as a little devil? However, she really looks like the young man who used to come here often, but she doesn't appear very often recently." Shaking his head, he seemed very sorry, "That's really a good pair of father and son. Said Honestly, do you really have no brothers or anything like that?"

Claude stared at the TV without answering.

Ma Kexin looked at the past, it was the news rebroadcast, the anchor was issuing a statement on the previous power outage in the Cosmo area, and a few frames of video about Shinra flashed by.The past few years have been really peaceful, and even this kind of thing can stay on TV for so long.Called back by the yelling of other guests, Ma Kexin wiped his hands on the apron, then shook his fat body and walked away, laughing and cursing.

"Claude?" Pushing the plate away, "Don't you know how to eat?"

"..."

"Claude?"

Bad feelings gradually rose, and Alice held his hand uneasily. She felt very warm because she was flustered and her palms were cold.Maybe he really shouldn't be taken out. There are too many traces of his existence in the outside world. Ever since he left home, everything seems to have changed.

The warm hand gradually tightened and held hers instead.

"I want to see him."

"See who?"

She turned her head, and on the TV, the silver-haired general was talking indifferently.

"We don't know that kind of big man, don't be too whimsical." With a forced smile, he lowered his head to pick up his pasta, and poked it several times with the fork until the little tomato jumped out of the plate.After a pause, he picked up the lunch paper and wrapped it up and put it aside.Embarrassed, she clutched the edge of the table as if she was about to cry, not daring to look up into the boy's eyes. "Hurry up and finish eating, let's go home. Mom will be worried if I go back too late."

"I want to see Sephiroth."

"You remember?"

Shaking his head slightly, Claude stood up and came to gently wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes. "I have to see him, Alice. I can feel something about him, about me, about us. He is the core of me, and only by seeing him can I get back what is mine. Sorry, I'm really sorry I can't stay with you."

Alice hooked his leaving hand, "I will hate you."

"But you always forgive me, don't you?"

Claude broke away from her firmly.

"Claude!" After sitting in a daze for a while, she came back to her senses and ran out of the store like crazy, looking around, "Claude! I will find a way! You come back first! Claude!" Passing through the hurrying crowd, occasionally someone cast a surprised look at her, but that was all, "Come back... Claude..."

After squatting for a while, I stood up unsteadily, and walked around in a daze.Her heart was divided into two halves, one half was annoyed why she didn't do anything and let him leave; With his figure, she will definitely reprimand him.

The buzzing scream pierced her mind, sharper and more terrifying than ever before.Alice pressed her forehead, but her heart jumped out of her chest for joy.Claude, Claude.She quickened her pace, like an antelope jumping in a mountain stream, to the teacher
