Why am I here? I wonder, looking around to see complete darkness around me. Better yet, why am I still alive?

How do you know you're not in Hell?

Because I didn't know Hell was in my head.

Ah, so you recognize this place?

It's where you hang out when I'm conscious.

And where you reside when I am freed.

Please tell me you didn't decide to pay a Avalanche a visit.

No, I have been to busy putting all of my energy into healing you. Even in death, I would be trapped inside you and could not be released.

Did they make it out of the sub okay?

Besides you yes. Cid's quite upset that his jacket is now as red and your Vincent's cape.

My... Vincent? Shadow, we're not anything like that, it's just a brief... Distraction that's all.

You believe Valentine is a distraction?

No, I believe I'm just a distraction to him. Or he's just pretending I'm Lucrecia.

What kind of a man do you believe he is?

What's that suppose to mean? I'm just saying that the only reason he's really ever protected me and talked to me is because I have some sort of tie to Lucrecia and a past he can't stop living in. Maybe if I'd just died on the sub... Would he have finally looked toward the future?
