The king beat the drum madly, strands of his long silver hair slipping loose, and Zack tried his best to humor him, playing as madly to keep up.

And then the drum broke, and the king tossed it aside with a smirk, his green eyes wide. Then the king went abruptly still, and his eyes went sharp as he looked around, clearly seeking something - or rather, someone - out.

"Cloud. Where is Cloud?" the king said. Cloud hesitantly stood from where he'd hid himself behind the puppetry stage, and Zack didn't like the obsessive possessiveness he saw bloom on Sephiroth's face.

Tifa panted, her breaths coming desperate and quick. She'd slammed the door shut, the windows were closed, there was no way in here.

Safe. She was safe. She had to be safe here.

She hadn't believed it, hadn't thought for a second that stupid urban legend about the video could possibly be true...but then they'd all died, just now, everyone in front of her. She was all that was left, her seven days was up...

No. She was safe here. She was.

The TV blared to life, flicking and showing a silver-haired man.

Then Sephiroth crawled through the TV.

"Tifa and I have an understanding," Cloud said, "the kind that you can only have after knowing each other for some time. She knows how I feel."

"How?" The girl, Aerith, was almost childlike in her questioning, with her voice strangely sweet and her eyes so wide.

Cloud refused to stare. "What do you mean?"

"How does she know?"

Cloud shrugged. "She knows. It doesn't matter how." He noticed Aerith had stopped on the path. "What's wrong?"

Aerith took a breath and let her voice ring. "How does she knoooooooow you love her?"

Cloud groaned. "Oh god, you're singing now?"

Cloud ran into the elevator and all but slammed his fist into the floor number and the shut button, then collapsed against the wall, shutting his eyes tightly and trying to convince himself none of what he had seen had been real.

And because his eyes were closed, he didn't see Denzel, pale and dead-eyed, staring at him on every floor.

Cloud ran to his apartment, to his room, feeling like everything had been a bad dream. Home was home; safe. No ghosts, no--

He crawled into bed, relieved, then felt--no--

He lifted the sheets and Jenova smiled.
