Lady of Reincarnation

✧ “Why didn’t you tell me?” - “Because you looked so happy without me.”

✧ reading a letter they wrote you years ago that begins with “If you're reading this, I never got the courage to send it.”

✧ “I loved you. I still do. But it’s not our story anymore, is it?”

✧ seeing them again after years. they smile the same. they don’t wear the ring. but someone else waits in their car.

✧ “You were my almost.” - “And you were my should-have-been.”

✧ you moved on. but you still check their socials every birthday. just to see.

I changed the design of the Edged Wings Training Garb—removed the skirt and his gauntlets.

I don't know how he'd react if he was ever confronted with Lucrecia, but I can imagine that the mere facts that she actually did consent to him being experimented on and actually worked not only for Shinra but together with Hojo would make him reject her outright. she cannot be his "real" mother. his mother is perfect and would never do that to him.

that Lucrecia genuinely thought she was doing a good thing and didn't know she would be kept from him probably wouldn't register as an explanation for him, much less count as an excuse. the idea that his mother could be partly responsible for the abuse he suffered his entire life would be unbearable, and so it can never even be entertained. his mother is Jenova. his mother is innocent and would never hurt him. it was everyone else that hurt him but not her. he loves her. she is perfect and she loves him. she loves him she loves him she loves him.
