When we first met in Midgar, we were both lost. I was surviving without a purpose; you knew what you wanted, but you and Marlene were struggling to get by. We helped each other survive, found reasons to fight... even when it was painful.

It’s strange, but I miss those days. Life’s easier now, and yet... I miss the struggle, and I know you miss it too. That’s why you go hunt for new deposits. It makes you feel useful again.

I miss that. I miss you too, and so does Marlene. When she’s old enough... let’s all go together.
