To Cloud and... Aerith?

[notonlywords.livejournal.com]

I hope that at least one of you gets to find this.

Cloud, would it be possible for me to meet up with you? I don't exactly have anything to do so I can come to you as soon as possible. I've also figured out the map somewhat, so you can just give me the coordinates.

Aerith? It feels rather strange to be speaking to you again, but... well, you're with Cloud at the moment, right? So I guess I'll come see you soon! We missed you so much.

... Interesting.

[notonlywords.livejournal.com]

Uhm... hello there.

[argentum-basium.livejournal.com]

So, your name is Tifa? How do you know Cloud~?

[notonlywords.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm Tifa, Cloud and I were childhood friends. And you are?

[argentum-basium.livejournal.com]

My name isn't important. Thank you for telling me anyway~ you've been very helpful.

[notonlywords.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd like to know your name, if that's okay with you, of course. And no worries at all! Are you acquainted with Cloud in some way?

[argentum-basium.livejournal.com]

He's my big brother. And my name~? It's Kadaj.

[notonlywords.livejournal.com]

Oh, I never knew he had a brother. Nice to meet you then, Kadaj.

[argentum-basium.livejournal.com]

He has three. I wonder what else he hasn't told you~? Or maybe he's forgotten that too? What did you mean when you said that anyway? And it's nice to meet you too.

Wow, I remembered him as an only child, but that was a long time ago so I guess I'm wrong. There's... a lot that he hasn't told me, I guess. Cloud is not exactly the most open of people.

I'm not quite sure but it seems that Cloud doesn't remember anything that has happened in the past couple of years. Well, actually, he doesn't seem to even remember me. Do you know what happened to him, Kadaj?

[argentum-basium.livejournal.com]

There's a lot more to it than just time, but I'm afraid I can't tell you all of it. You understand, right? But don't worry, it's nothing you need to worry too much about.

... He doesn't? Nothing about Meteor or Edge or Sephiroth? I don't know what it could be either. Did the Geostigma get to his brain? He has it, right? He can't be my brother and not have Geostigma. That might have something to do with it...

[notonlywords.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose I shouldn't pry on personal matters, so yeah, I understand.

I haven't asked him anything about those yet... It might make him feel bad and I think he's upset at me already He really does have Geostigma, huh? I saw the bandages but I haven't met him yet. So... you have Geostigma too, Kadaj? Is the disease genetic?

[argentum-basium.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

If those ever do come up, let me know. I'd be very interested in hearing what he has to say. As for Geostigma being genetic... yes and no. We're all family, the ones who have it and I, but we're not really related in the usual sense. You could say we're bound together by the disease itself, but it's... so much more. It's different with my big brother and I, but that's more of the thing I don't want to talk about.
