[FF7] Those things after marriage

Rehabilitation is always tough.The body that has been used proficiently for more than twenty years suddenly becomes unusable. Even if you know it will get better, this feeling of powerlessness can really drive people crazy.

But the good news is that her recovery speed is quite gratifying.Although it is not enough to be able to walk in three days and run in five days, she is still very touched that she can almost meet the daily activities in one month-although Sephiroth seems to be happy to help her dress and bathe, but the scale is too big She couldn't bear it anymore.

Especially the other party's usual behavior made her unable to help but wonder how she kept clean and tidy in the past four years when she was unconscious...

The picture was so beautiful that she couldn't imagine it.

Therefore, she ignored Sephiroth's gentle reassurance that "you don't need to be so anxious" many times, actively participated in rehabilitation exercises, and fell asleep every day when she came back tired.Although I am a little sorry for Sephiroth, she still wants to recover as soon as possible so that she can take care of him instead of taking everything on him.

"Are you really sure that I'll just accompany you?" The aged red-haired man watched Esther struggling on the rehab machine, and said slightly worriedly, "Letting Sephiroth accompany you should Better? He should be a more efficient coach, and there's really nothing I can do to help you other than help you and help you time."

After all, he doesn't rely on physical strength for food, so he can't give her any professional advice. In contrast, Sephiroth, who has undergone formal training, will be of greater help to her... Even asking Heda to come is more useful than him.

Esther stopped, wiped the sweat from her forehead panting, and took a while to calm down before showing a helpless smile to Lance.

"When Sephiroth comes, I can't help but want to act coquettishly. And when Heda comes, I will feel ashamed... being scanned by her X-ray-like gaze will always have a feeling of being stripped naked. So I put it together , or you are more suitable, besides, I still can’t remember what happened four years ago... But that’s it, my intuition tells me that this must have something to do with you, and you might be able to Think about it."

"How dark I am in your heart."

Although it was true, Lance still couldn't help but want to justify himself...he...he was honest and reliable most of the time.

However, when he said this to Esther, he himself felt guilty.

The number of times he cheated on the young couple Esther and Sephiroth was really a little bit more.If Shinrori really felt sorry for anyone, it would be the two of them.

They are lovely children, honest and kind, and treat others with tenderness.

It is their old things who should have been buried long ago who are sorry for them.

He always used these advantages of them to achieve his goals time and time again. Although he also made compensations, these compensations were so insignificant compared to the harm he caused them.

What made him feel even more guilty was that these children never blamed him.

Not even Sephiroth, who knew the truth.

They always remember other people's kindness to them.

Lance looked at the young woman who was slowly drinking water not far away, and felt a little sad for no reason.

He considers himself a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, so he doesn't expect anyone to understand him and forgive him in the future. As long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter if he bears a lifetime of infamy, even if he betrays his relatives and is abandoned by everyone.

He is not worth saving.

But the two of them made him feel 'redeemed' for the first time.

People always say they don't care about many things, and think that they can live well without me, but they still hope to get it in their hearts.

For example, praise and praise from others, such as everything that can make your life better, and maybe even a word of 'forgiveness' in some people.

He thought so too at first, but when the burden on his shoulders was lifted and he was welcomed back to a normal life, it gave him the urge to cry.

Although there are many sufferings, he is not at a loss in this life.

For the first half of his life, he was dragged into the quagmire of Jenova and couldn't get out. Whether he loves or hates, he was restrained by her.

Even life is out of shape.

However, when even he himself felt that he would end up with Jenova and take revenge, the children he had cared for and used gave him another way.

Heda probably thought so too.

These two old bones that should have been discarded in the past can still have a 'future'.Maybe this future is not what they expected in the end, maybe worse things will happen in the future.But at this moment, people can hold hope and look forward to it.

Although there may be bad things going on, but... there will always be good things happening, right?

It's all about life, and it's better to live with hope than with pessimism.

Now he is so convinced.

***

It took Esther more than a month to basically regain control of her body.After making sure that she wouldn't suddenly fall into a flat sand and drop a wild goose in a shameful manner, she finally stepped out of the gate and saw the outside world again.

Accompanied by Sephiroth and Lance, she walked out slowly on crutches.

The bright glare of the sun and a very beautiful green color catch the eye.She squinted her eyes, and it took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the bright colors.

Looking into the distance, the huge metal outline of Midgar could be faintly seen.The dark clouds looming over Midgar are in stark contrast to the brilliant sun here.At first glance, it seems like two completely different worlds.

In fact, there are almost two worlds with people like them.

The Shinra Corporation, which had ruled the planet for decades, disintegrated.

Because of what happened at the Shinra Mansion, the dissatisfaction of the board of directors with Rufus reached a new high. The directors who were not optimistic about him took the opportunity to attack some special forces while Lazard disappeared. He fought a fierce battle with the Turks and other special forces with the power of the mysterious force, trying to force Rufus to step down by force.

Although it was not completely successful in the end, it also split nearly half of Shinra's forces, and eventually went elsewhere to start anew.

As for Rufus...although he retained his position as president, he also suffered heavy losses.Not only was more than half of the Shinra Building destroyed again, but more than half of the personnel was also lost.

Various research materials have not been spared...

Rufus, the president, is also in a state of desperation right now.

But because of this, Sephiroth and the others were able to trade their support for Rufus in exchange for freedom.

By the way, a lot of things can be obtained from Shinra - that is the origin of the multifunctional villa where Esther is now.

Otherwise, even if Sephiroth is a former hero, it's useless... The saying that a penny can't kill a hero is not for nothing.

Even heroes can't conjure things out of thin air, they can't be used alone as a construction team, right?

Therefore, under Lance's conscience suggestion, Sephiroth exchanged for many conveniences.

Even the board of directors who had already gone solo didn't dare to do anything with him.After all... the female body that Jenova originally boarded has been destroyed.The successfully awakened Sephiroth is not only the largest body of Jenova, but also the leader of all Jenova splits [special forces].

If he was offended, the special forces in his hand would be abolished.

Although the tools in my hands do not have ownership and only use rights, it is very uncomfortable, but in the current situation, having something is better than nothing.Although there are other trump cards on both sides, since it is called a trump card, it is naturally not used for daily use.

Therefore, even if special forces have great hidden dangers, they cannot abandon them.

After all, retraining soldiers from today is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also leads to the dilemma that no one is available temporarily.

It always takes time for a new army to take shape. Even if they decide to start a new army today, it won't be useful in a while—so no matter how unwilling they are, they have to accept Sephiroth's 'hostage'.

Although they said it was simple, Esther could imagine the difficulty.Negotiating with the two major forces at the same time, but also beware of the attacks of those crude anti-Shinra organizations...

The past four years must have been difficult for them.

But to her regret, she still couldn't think of anything.

It's obviously very important, but I just can't remember it, my head hurts from thinking about it, and there is still no trace of those memories.

Esther walked slowly in the courtyard on crutches, and Sephiroth followed her unhurriedly, not hindering her but also supporting her when her legs suddenly became weak.

The courtyard has not been fully repaired, but the transplanted plants and turf have already shown their vigorous vitality, even on the barren land outside Midgar, they still stubbornly reveal their greenness.

Although there is still a piece of loess and rocks in the distance, Esther is already happy with the green seen in front of her.This little bit now may turn into overwhelming green in the future.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

The young woman with long blonde hair sat down on a piece of grass, and then patted the place beside her to the man with long silver hair beside her, motioning for him to do the same.

Sephiroth sat down as she wished, and Esther leaned in front of him.

"What if I... can't remember it all the time?"

Esther held Sephiroth's hand loosely, and said melancholy.

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it." Sephiroth stroked her hair with his free hand, "We will always have new memories, it's okay to forget a little bit..."

That said, but Sephiroth's pause made it clear to her that he wasn't as indifferent to his memory as he had shown.

"...Then, tell me, what was the last thing I told you, okay?" Esther looked up at Sephiroth, "Maybe it can bring back memories."

The silver-haired man was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and leaned against her ear and said softly:

"You said... 'I love you'."
