The miners sometimes found wellsprings as they dug, places where the Lifestream would bubble up from below as they dug. Most of the miners figured they were a good omen, and the miner who first spotted the gleam of bright light below them was called lucky, or even blessed.

(Barret had found one, long time ago, had laughed like a kid as the green light glowed through his fingers. He’d proposed the next morning, and she’d said yes.)

Maybe that was why they’d been so quick to believe Shinra’s pretty words about Mako energy, even though they’d barely understood it.
