[silverflqmes]

you are legit my favorite ffvii writer at the moment dude. if you feel like it, do you think you can write smth about being childhood friends w zack and reuniting with him one day? make sure to take care of yourself 💕 :)

໒⦂ 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆.

notes. HELP YOU’RE SO SWEET ANON??? IWOWJDJDK i haven’t written as much yet and i still have lots to learn but that really warmed my heart to hear 🥹🥹🥹 i decided to combine this with another request, i hope that’s okay with you both!<3

genre. fluff + angst

disclaimer. tifa speaking on cloud can either be platonic or romantic — whatever you wanna think just don’t start up a whole ship war bc it’s embarrassing as hell. obviously this is a zack fic so focus on zack smh.

zack fair x gn!reader.

“you’re.. leaving for SOLDIER?”

you shouldn’t be shocked, that was the last thing you should have been since you had been the one to encourage his decision.

and yet.. why did it hurt? you had known that it would, it was only naturally — but not like this.

zack averted his stare from the star blanketed sky, smiling solemnly. “sure am. you helped me realize that becoming a hero is something that i should do — that the world needed my kind of help.. so that’s,” he paused, allowing the evening breeze to shift his dark bangs. “exactly what i gotta do.”

you fell into silence for a moment, pursing your lips together as you considered his words.

it had been your crush’s dream from young, since seeing sephiroth on propaganda and hearing of his endeavors, to become a hero. the life he’d led in gongaga was wonderful, peaceful.. but you knew, deep down, he’d wanted to make that name for himself. that zack was.. meant for greater things.

and you, torn between your feelings for him and the need to encourage him as his best friend.. had no choice but to put aside what you felt to urge him to embrace his dreams.

when he received no answer, the raven haired teen took it as a sign to continue, leaning back on his elbows. “as of now, you’re the only one i’ve told about my decision — cuz well.. as you know, my parents aren’t super chill with it.” he laughed out, shaking his head. “so i’m gonna leave tomorrow night. got everything packed up already, a letter ready for them to pass on and i’ll be good to go!”

“tomorrow night? so soon?” you nearly interrogated him, only to respond with a slow nod. “you have my word, don’t worry about it.” should you tell on your friend? would that keep him just a little while longer if his parents knew and prevented his departure? would he hate you for it and finally give you a reason to stop feeling this way about him?

no.. you couldn’t live with yourself if he had hated you. that was practically death served on a silver platter, your heart would never start again if zack had expressed contempt for you.

for a second, longing flashed in his eyes before he allowed himself to grin, patting your back gently. “you’re amazing y/n!! i knew i could count on you no matter what! i’ll be sure to bring you something real nice from the big city!! and that’s a promise!”

a smile that didn’t quite meet your gaze etched itself onto your lips as you let out a hum of agreement. “you’re the amazing one, zack. i’ll..” miss you. “..be holding you to that promise, so you better keep it.”

three years passed and no sign of zack. the promise stood, but remained unfulfilled.

you should have expected it, that becoming a SOLDIER meant never seeing him again. you knew he was alive, a letter would have come if he wasn’t, and his parents kept you posted thankfully.

yet, there was still an emptiness you felt in his absence. every year, you’d told yourself that perhaps maybe, he would come home to visit this time.

now, having turned eighteen, you had decided to leave the comfort of gongaga as zack once had, and journeyed to nibelheim — a village in the mountains. it was small, quaint as your hometown was, perhaps colder, but after being offered a job through your parents, it called to you.

your mother had been from nibelheim and met your father in midgar — who had left gongaga to pursue a career in research as she had.

despite their retirement, they had developed many connections.. one of which, had been in the mountain village.

when you pleaded to leave and join up with your friend in the city he’d left for, your parents had urged you not to, and were strict on it.. as though something had been terribly wrong there.

you’d never asked why they retired so early on, and just assumed they had wanted to settle since they’d made their money.

but it didn’t.. fully seem that way.

“didja hear y/n? there’s a group of SOLDIERS coming down here tonight. ahhh, i hope cloud is there — i haven’t seen him in years.” your companion and guide sighed out, pacing about idly as you jotted down notes on your observations of the terrain.

tifa had been a friend you’d made upon your arrival. she was a year younger, but a real go getter and great help on your expeditions. in the beginning you worried for her safety, stringing her along as you did — only for her to protect you from the perils you feared.

you’d have to ask if that mentor of hers was willing to show you a move or two on self defense.

“cloud, huh? is he in SOLDIER, too?” you had told the girl before you already about your old buddy, as there was no possible way of her exposing your feelings for him.

and honestly, it was comforting to confide in someone for a change.

she nodded eagerly at your question, smiling softly. “he should be, it was his dream to become a SOLDIER, like sephiroth — that’s what he told me one day before he left.. and he’d promised to always protect me, no matter what.”

your writing seemed to pause at her comment, head lowering as you willed yourself to chuckle despite your anguish. “is that so?” zack, as you recalled, had dreamt of the same. “well, i hope he comes home safe if he’s a part of that group.” you smiled a little, closing your notebook before standing up from your crouched position.

“that should be enough for today, thanks for coming along again — i think i’m almost there with reaching my conclusion on this strange increase in mako spillage on the landscape.. but i just- can’t seem to put my finger on it.” you muttered, knitting your brows together before casting a glance over at mt. nibel- the highest point of the area you had moved to. “whatever, they’re keeping in that reactor.. there’s something really off about it.”

the burgundy eyed female followed your gaze before humming absentmindedly. “yeah.. i’m hoping those guys coming today might know or at least clean up over there.. i’d hate to see what might happen if the pollution intensifies down here.” she answered softly, helping you up before looking ahead. “for now, let’s get back — it’s almost sundown.”

at the mention of the visitors on their way from midgar, your thoughts went to your old friend, but you reprimanded yourself quickly. you would not have hopes again — as they only ever existed to get shattered and turn into despair.

and yet.. that one percentage asking but what if, remained.

the sun had drowned into billowing clouds, a shade of golden casting over the scenery as you walked beside your friend, exhaustion creeping up on you. however, you reminded yourself that the descent was always easier than the ascent.

“and we’re back, thank you for taking the tifa express way~” your travel partner giggled, earning a smile in return from you. she always had a way of brightening the mood with her optimism. kind of like.. nevermind.

the brunette looked around when she found the villagers gathered in the centre, adjusting her hat with a pout. “did we just miss them? i didn’t think we would be this late..”

you copied her actions, letting out a sound of contemplation. “maybe they turned in, midgar is a long way from here.. i’m sure they wanted to just take things easy for the night and start off fresh tomorrow.”

tifa paused for a minute to think before letting out a sigh and nodding. “i guess you have a point — tomorrow, then.” she smiled again, holding out her thumb. “i’m gonna be their guide, i’ll make sure of it!”

you rolled your eyes in amusement before nudging her with your elbow. “whatever helps you sleep at night, tifa.. i’ll catch you in the morning, in that case. i still gotta sort some things with information i picked up today.” a trip to that mako reactor and your research might at last be complete. perhaps.. you could convince the group in bringing you along- especially if your friend would be going.

it was the perfect in!

“mhm, see you in the morning, y/n! don’t be up all night doing that work of yours if you wanna wake up on time!”

with those parting words, followed by a wave, the female dressed in orange walked towards the direction of her home, eagerly greeting her father at the door before joining him inside.

your shoulders fell, a low exhale escaping your lips as you adjusted your backpack. and just like that, she was gone.

you made your way into the inn you’d been staying at for the time being, rubbing your eyes.

it was a temporary arrangement, given you hadn’t fully decided yet if you would be staying permanently in nibelheim. however, the living accommodations worked just fine.

you hadn’t thought yourself difficult to please, anyway. so long as you had the necessary essentials needed to live, all was well. that was what you’d learned growing up in gongaga.

entering the inn, you greeted the host before ascending the steps, pausing when you caught sight of a towering, silver haired.. male? unless a woman could stand at nearly seven feet.. and across from him, stood.. no — had your eyes deceived you?

“z-zack..?”

the conversation between the pair, whatever it had been about, came to a full stop as they turned to face you, shock painting on the face of the SOLDIER with the darker hair.

“y/n..??” he spoke up incredulously, blinking over at you as his jaw fell just slightly. “no way- what’re you doing here.. in nibelheim of all places? i thought you were-”

“in gongaga?” you asked with a small smile before shaking your head. “my parents found me work here, so i moved just a few months ago. never thought i’d see you here, before returning home, no less.”

zack could feel the coldness of your words, piercing through him like icicles tipped in poison. pissed was an understatement.

the taller behind him smiled awkwardly before moving towards his door, not wanting to be muddled into the affairs of his triend. “i believe you both have some catching up to do.. i will see you in the morning, zack.”

the boy in question parted his lips in protest, but the cat-eyed male was gone before he could do so. damn!

awkwardly, he turned to meet your awaiting stare, swallowing thickly.

“sorry, i’ve.. had a lot going on.” he confessed, lowering his head in shame. “i wanted to come home sooner — especially after making first class just recently- but things.. everything that has been going on as of late at shinra, it’s been really messed up.” zack confessed, clenching his fists at his side before letting out a glum chuckle. “and it just keeps getting weirder.. what were the odds i’d find you here of all places?”

you leaned against the window, folding your arms as you gazed out. “close to none. i guess it’s a thing of fate, maybe.” you offered, sliding your eyes back to his zircon ones. “seems my parents were right to not send me to the city with whatever ‘messed up things’ that happened.”

the SOLDIER nodded, allowing a brief silence to pass before smiling. “they probably were, yeah.. don’t think you would have liked midgar much, anyway. it’s all gross and industrial looking.. although!” he blurted suddenly, perking up as though he’d remembered something. “wait right here, i’ve got something i want to give you!”

you rose a brow at his random burst of energy, reminding you that despite the change in his appearance, the development he had gone through.. he was still your zack, and that wouldn’t change.

he disappeared into his room before you could answer, rummaging by the noises you’d made out, which had you shielding your mouth with your hand. “don’t get lost in there, now.”

“like i would!” he laughed before emerging from his quarters, holding out a messily wrapped box for you. “no matter where i went, i always kept this with me, thinking that maybe- just maybe, i would pass through our hometown and find you to hold up that promise i made to you. finally,” the spiky haired SOLDIER paused, grinning brightly. “i was able to fulfill it!”

you blinked in surprise, taking the package into your hand as you felt your face burn despite the coldness provided by the high altitudes of nibelheim. “you.. remembered?”

appalled, zack let out a gasp of offense. “remembered? how could i forget?? a promise is a promise, and i intended on keeping it!” he huffed out before raising his fists before him in excitement. “now come on, open it!!”

overcome with a sudden happiness, to know you hadn’t been forgotten despite the negative thoughts you’d created, you opened up his gift to you with earnest. a glimpse of green entered your vision as you quirked a curious brow. a plant? no.. zack wasn’t the type to keep plants.

finally removing the top completely, you stared down at the present before stifling a laugh into your forearm. “you- you got me a cactuar.. stuffed toy?” you spluttered in surprise.

of course he did — it was zack for goodness sake..

“sure did!! ya like it?? it looked authentic when i saw it in the window!” he answered proudly, placing his hands on his hips.

you continued laughing, unable to contain yourself as you held your stomach. “it’s so random- but that’s.. that’s just like you to get me!” you wiped a tear, allowing a smile nearly as bright as his, or perhaps- even brighter for a change, to replace your initial frown. “i love it a lot, but.. you wanna know what i love more?”

a mixture of interest and excitement sparked in his eyes as he inched closer, eager to hear. “what? what is it??”

having caught your breath, you closed your eyes, holding the plush close to your heart. “being here- reunited with you, again..”

like an invisible string, knots and tangles had appeared in the thread that connected you both. however, it wasn’t impossible to unravel and detangle that which connected you both, to allow an opportunity of reunion.

( even if it was the right place, but sadly.. the wrong time. )

notes. bittersweet open ending cuz well.. it’s nibelheim- anyway, i hope this was okay! i think my writing style kinda changed.. scary. oh well! the support these last few days have been much appreciated<3 tysm you guys, hearts out to you fr<3

Zack had never been trick or treating; he didn’t know what it was like to celebrate Halloween like you did. You were more than happy to show him around and show him what it was like to celebrate the holiday. He was a SOLDIER in Shinra; he wasn’t afraid of anything. At least he liked to pretend he was your brave and strong boyfriend. He could protect you from anything. There wasn’t anything too scary about the holiday, right? He began to become nervous the closer it got to Halloween. He tried to pretend he wasn’t afraid. It was your idea to take him to see a haunted house. He wasn’t against it, because it is what you wanted it to be. He was totally against it, but he wasn’t going to object to you. Now that it was drawing closer to the day, he began to be more vocal about going somewhere else for the holiday, like maybe the beach! Yeah, the beach is a great place to go. You weren’t going to back down from your haunted house idea. You wanted him to experience Halloween, and it’s not like the house was actually haunted. So things would be just fine. You tried to reassure him, and he was still hesitant, but when the day came, he went with you. He didn’t let go of your hand as you both walked through the door and up the stairs into the haunted house. It was decorated for the spooky season, and Zack stayed as close to you as he possibly could. You led the way, and he stayed behind you.

“Hey Zack, do you think you could relax your grip on my hand?” You asked as you looked around at the surrounding area.

“Yeah, sorry.” He said as he loosened his grip, but only slightly. He still maintained his firm grip. He didn’t know what to expect, and he didn’t want to lose you. He was terrified, but so far the only things were a couple of ghosts, tombstones, zombies, and spider webs—the typical “scary” things on Halloween. They were just decorations, and Zack was on edge. You passed by a doorway just fine, and Zack followed behind you when a creature jumped out at him. He screamed and hit the floor. He had let go of your hand in his frantic state. He shielded his body with his arms and prepared to attack whatever was going to attack him. You couldn’t help but let out a small laugh as you looked at Zack. You walked over to him and offered up your hand.

“Babe, it’s okay; it’s just a decoration.” You said as you pointed up to the creature that was slow to return to its home. Zack took your hand and stood up.

“I hate this place.” He said as he brushed himself off. He looked at you, and suddenly the sound of a chair being dragged across the floor could be heard. You both turned to see the chair moving, but no one visible was dragging it across the hardwood floor. Zack picked you up and he bolted for the door. He wasn’t going to spend another minute in that building, and he wasn’t going to leave you behind either. He would never hear the end of it if he had left you behind. It was safer to take him with you whether you wanted to leave or not.

“Babe, it was probably just a string attached to the chair!”

“I don’t care. I don’t like the place. I’ll make it up to you.” He said as he set you down and pulled you in for a hug.

You wrapped your arms around him and rested your head on him. You could hear his heart hammering in his chest. You wouldn’t be taking him back to any scary places again.

FF7 Sex-Related Mishaps

Tseng

Once was so quiet during the deed the other person assumed he didn't enjoy himself and ghosted him in embarrassment

VP Rufus Shinra

Is a biter. Once during a drunken one-night stand, he bit them way too hard, and had to stay home with a slap mark on his cheek or get scolded by dad

Reno

Once was so loud that it disturbed his neighbours and several of them complained. He just as loudly told them to their faces to fuck off

Elena

Same scenario as Reno, except she died of embarrassment behind her door after shutting it

Rude

Sometimes tries out adventurous positions that take advantage of his height. Once, they both fell and hit their heads

Cid

Once was so enthusiastic, he hit his forehead on the headboard, backed up holding his head, then fell on the floor

Tifa

While still learning how to say no, she tried out several things she didn't want to and refuses to speak about it to this day

Zack

Once told politely that he talks too much. This is because his dirty talk is so tame that it's a distraction

Pre-Nibelheim Sephiroth

Once pushed the other person's stamina too far and they passed out, making him panic

Cloud

Once left in the middle of night, leaving the other person assuming that he didn't enjoy himself and changed his mind about being into them

ft. Sephiroth, Zack, Reno, & Cloud

tags: sfw, fem!reader, hurt/comfort, second chances, right person wrong time trope, left ambiguous, short ficlet

Sephiroth

Things were never supposed to turn out like this. You were never meant to be his enemy. You were never meant to nearly die in a face-off. You were never meant to meet him. At least, that's what Sephiroth told himself.

It seemed that the Fates had other ideas in how his story was destined to be told when your paths crossed yet again on the battlefield. Only this time, you were not his enemy but his comrade. He would not let this chance slide past him once more. He would win your heart just like he was born to do.

Zack

In the past, things just didn't line up. Both of your jobs kept you separate from each other and it made dating impossible, and it wasn't for either of your lack of trying! Sure, Zack had prayed and hoped that maybe your paths would cross again, he just didn't think those prayers would ever be answered.

He's absolutely smitten all over again the moment he sees you. It has been years, but seeing you, it was like no time had passed. The two of you mesh well like two magnets, where one goes the other follows. And this time, Zack isn't going to let you slip away.

Reno

He has to do a double than a triple take. It's you!! Holy shit, it's actually you! Reno would approach you immediately and have the gall to ask you where you've been all this time like he hadn't been the cause of the distance in the first place. But it was for your own safety!! He swears!

Reno is pretty cautious when it comes to reapproaching you in all honesty. He wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to see him. But to his utter relief, you do. He promises to do better than his best this time around.

Cloud Strife

He feels his breath catch the moment his eyes landed on you. Alive and ethereal; the very definition of beautiful. He never expected to see you again, yet here you were, looking divinely badass. His eyes trace over the leather guards adorning your arms, up to the spiked shoulder guard, and then finally your eyes.

Cloud's eyes widened when he realized you were already looking at him and smiling. Like you were happy to see him. He blinked repeatedly like a confused child. Swallowing his resolve he steeled himself for what was to come. And slowly began to make his way towards you.

Time travel AU but rather than it being a traditional AU where Cloud travels back in time to his Shinra days, it's Zack.

Directly after dying he wakes back up at Shinra with Angeal still alive, Genesis still around, Sephiroth not being insane, and most importantly Cloud being awake and well. He's ecstatic at first, crying as he hugs Cloud while muttering about how great it is to see Cloud awake again (much to Cloud's confusion, since what?) but quickly his joy is replaced with paranoia.

Because Zack is in no way shape or form not mentally stable. He's just experienced five straight years of hell, and now he has to potentially relive that, (re)kill his mentor, deal with Genesis, and deal with Sephiroth going insane. So as he's trying to come up with ways to prevent the tragic future he knows is coming, he's not being fully rational in his thoughts.

One such way he is not being rational is by attempting to get Cloud to help him in his plans. Much to Zack's surprise, while Cloud was pretty content with going along with just about anything/being dragged anywhere while he was in a coma (on account of him being in a coma) he is not very thrilled by Zack's plan to murder... well, several people.

Meanwhile Cloud is convinced that Zack is degrading and losing his mind. Killing Sephiroth? Finding a way to help Angeal pass peacefully? Something about an alien living in the Nibelheim reactor? Not to mention all of Zack's plans for "keeping him safe" which sound an awful lot like kidnapping. Cloud is terrified.

Although with Zack feigning sanity in public, Cloud isn't certain who he can go to for help. Afterall, even if he could get in contact with someone, who would believe him?

Zack: I can't, that's so fucked up. What if it's a mother who has babies?

Angeal: Oh my god.

Genesis: I don't know about you all, but I plan on befriending it and convincing it to stop its terror.

Genesis, clearing his throat: Good evening—

*Genesis gets crushed by Godzilla's foot*

Cloud: Wait, where's Sephiroth??

Pool party Zack Fair

Time Of His Life

age in bio when interacting. minors do not interact.

Word Count: 559 | Read it on AO3 | Masterlist | Tag List

Zack loves anything fun. He is always ready for whatever comes his way. He was always prepared and, at the same time, unprepared. It depended on what was happening. He was good at adjusting to change, and he was frequently forgetful of things.

It was hot, and it was summer. He didn't like the hot weather and had no objections when you suggested going to the pool to swim. He loved the idea, but he didn't want to leave his friends behind either. He brought up the idea of bringing his friends along to the pool. You could also bring your friends if you wanted to. You had no objections, and you liked the idea of a pool party.

It was late at night when the party decided to start. By having it later in the night, you hoped that things were going to be cooler at the time. You gathered your things and helped Zack pack his stuff as well. You knew that if Zack did it alone, he would forget things. You had never been to a pool party, and neither had Zack, but it didn't matter. Zack was going to have a good time, and you were too. You walked with him down to the location that he had planned. It was a little early, but that was good because it left time for things to be set up. You helped Zack out and had things done by the time the party was set to start. You turned on the music and waited by the pool, waiting for people to show up. It wasn't long before people began to slowly make their way into the building. Zack was at the door, greeting them, before he got tired and decided to hang out with his friends. You were with yours, and Zack would check back on you to make sure that things were alright. He didn't want you to feel as if he had forgotten you in any way. He was having the time of his life. It wasn't often that Zack's friends got together, especially in one building together.

The music blared over the speakers, and you made your way over to Zack to hang out for the rest of the time. If you hadn't met his friends yet, or even if you did, he introduced you to his friends. He kept the conversation going even if you weren't very good at talking. He loved to talk to people and get to know them, and he didn't want anyone to be uncomfortable.

The night continued on, and people began to head home. There were some people that had lingered around, and you were ready to sleep.

“Let's head home, Zack.” You said as you looked at him.

“I don't want to leave them behind.” He said as he gestured to the people.

“They'll be fine, I promise. Plus, it's late. We can come back and clean up tomorrow.”

Zack looked at them and began to yawn. He covered his mouth and looked away from you. He didn't want you to see him yawning, but you did.

“Zack, baby, you're tired.”

“No, I'm not.” He said, and then he nodded.

“Alright, let's go home.” He said as he stood up. He headed around, telling everybody goodbye. He didn't want to leave without them knowing where he was.

Its way too hot here, so here are some Beach date headcanons for Cloud, Sephiroth pre- and post Nibelheim, Zack and Reno

˖⁺‧₊˚ ♡ ˚₊‧⁺˖ Cloud Strife ˖⁺‧₊˚ ♡ ˚₊‧⁺˖

♡‧₊˚ Cloud is the type to pretend he's too cool for beach activities, but secretly loves building sandcastles with you ♡‧₊˚ Cloud is a low-key beach bum. He loves just lying on a towel, soaking up the sun, and napping the day away with his you by his side ♡‧₊˚ He's the kind of person to get sunburned easily, so you always have to remind him to reapply sunscreen. It's adorable how he wrinkles his nose at the smell. But Cloud would also be very vigilant about reapplying sunscreen on you, worried about you getting sunburned ♡‧₊˚ He gets flustered when you ask him to rub sunscreen on your back ♡‧₊˚ He's always vigilant, scanning the beach for any potential threats to your safety. Lifeguard Cloud is on duty! ♡‧₊˚ At night, he'd suggest a moonlit walk along the shore, holding hands and sharing deep conversations

♡‧₊˚ Sephiroth arrives at the beach in full leather, refusing to change until you convince him ♡‧₊˚ Seph treats beach days like a military operation.

˖⁺‧₊˚ ♡ ˚₊‧⁺˖ Post Nibelheim Sephiroth ˖⁺‧₊˚ ♡ ˚₊‧⁺˖

♡‧₊˚ Lets be real he will probably think such dates are beneath him. But lets still imagine him. Post-Nibelheim Seph sees the beach as a reminder of his own godhood. He'll stand at the shore, arms outstretched, declaring his dominion over the waves ♡‧₊˚ He's the type to use his powers to create unnatural phenomena, like parting the sea or summoning a storm, just to impress (or terrify) you ♡‧₊˚ Sephiroth becomes obsessed with the idea of "purifying" you in the ocean, seeing it as a twisted sort of baptism ♡‧₊˚ He's not above dragging you into the depths, convinced that they'll emerge reborn as his perfect, submissive mate ♡‧₊˚ He becomes possessive, not wanting anyone else to lay eyes on your beach body. He'll glare daggers at any admirers ♡‧₊˚ He's oddly fascinated by seashells, collecting them obsessively and presenting them to you as "tributes"

Cookin' up a savory Zack lives AU in my mind

Instead of Jenova downloading Zack's memories into Cloud's brain, what if it linked their minds together? Not just able to hear each other's thoughts, but receive all the sensory input as well, in a way.

While Cloud's in a coma, Zack knows he's still in there somewhere, he can just sense it. He feels kinda off all the time, like he's half asleep, but he blames that on all the bullshit he's been through recently.

And of course Zack gets gunned down on the cliff and Cloud thinks he's dead, takes his sword, normal canon ff7 stuff plays out for a bit. Except Cloud's sudden headaches and tiny breakdowns are actually Zack's thoughts and sensations poking through, as Zack slowly regains consciousness in small bursts.

Eventually Zack wakes up all the way, only to find that Hojo plucked up his seemingly dead body and is continuing to experiment on him. Obviously that means a whole lot of physical and mental agony for Zack, and for Cloud too because of the mind link.

So Cloud can't play it cool anymore and the rest of the party starts to think he's going insane. Maybe he tries to convince everyone that they need to go back to Midgar to save Zack. Would love to see Tifa's reaction...!

That's all I got for now lol
