“I never wanted Midgar to be home for so long,” Papa tells you, years after. He’s still strong, but he’s not so angry anymore; you can see the tiredness in his face. If it wasn’t for Miss Tifa, you wonder if he’d be too tired to move as fast as he does. “Not for a sweet girl like you.”

“I know.” Midgar was a dirty place, both physically and emotionally. You’re glad you don’t remember more than that. “But it wasn’t home.”

He blinks. “Wasn’t it?”

“No.” You take his hands, both metal and flesh. “My family is my home.”

Aw, this is beautifully bittersweet, and Marlene's voice is perfect.
