ᵃ ˡᵉᵗᵗᵉʳ ᵗᵒ : @onegil ,
gaia's pull lures him ever - closer to its breathless life , and he follows it . he follows it despite the world pushing him into places he cannot find himself , despite his parents hopes and dreams , despite his father's legacy , despite his sister's admiration . he hasn't mailed them in some time . . . a melancholic guilt rests on his chest , but he does not delve too far into the feeling , lest it consume it completely . so , through his years spent traversing all different lands , he finds himself back in midgar . this city is tainted in his memory , tainted in its air , tainted in its very existence . he imagines it wasn't always this way - capitalistic , metropolitan , overrun with fumes and mako energy . despite all his travel , he's never seen anything quiet like midgar ; ridding the planet of all of its resources . for the sake of what ? shinra ? . . . it's saddening , truly , and angering . there's a complicated mix of emotions that stir within him as he travels through the paths of the sector five slums .
and yet , before such disappointment can consume him , a yellow lily peeks at him from between sidewalk cracks , and he imagines it smiles to him , albeit sadly . like it's trying to remain positive despite its sorrowful conditions , and he smiles back , silently . then , before he knows it , there's another one . then , another one . and another . and suddenly , he's following them like they've set a path for him , and he's almost skipping at some excitable pace beside them when he looks up to see a pair of doors that tower over him . he glances around , left , right , then pushes the left one slightly . it groans and creaks as it moves and he pulls his hand back quickly , nervous to have garnered the attention of anyone who may be presently within . but , he supposes he's already announced himself , so he opts instead to commit to his entrance .
when he does , he's met with a carpet of flowers and a dozen church pews , seemingly abandoned by whatever religion once flourished here , and overrun with gaia's sanctuary . his lips part in surprise , and a sense of comfort washes over him . he spots a young woman tending to one of the lilies , and he waves awkwardly .
this place is beautiful , he thinks to himself . did she do this ?
