- 006 || eternity stares back.

Is it dark? Are you still awake? Where are you? Is this a dream?

All of these thoughts and more would flutter through your mind, caught on the thin wire between consciousness, and being trapped within the confines of your own imagination. In time, it slowly dissapates, burning away as the universe reveals itself. You might find yourself standing on a tall, icly pillar, gazing at the stars that seem forever locked in twilight. Or perhaps you're deeper, nearly drowning in a pool of water that seems to have an almost green tinge, wouldn't you agree? and just barely managing to float to the surface. Planets are out of line, the clouds are tricoloured and thick, but no matter what.

The stars remain.

This land is open, free. Shattered. There are absolutely no restrictions here, and the asteroids have already grasped the concept. They shift and crumble before you, just before drifting into the great abyss. You might see those you know, wandering the stars - some with a confused stagger, and others with defined purpose.

Look down.

One of the asteroids is misshapen.

And there is the faint outline of a man resting upon it, sitting as if in meditation.

The will of this world guides you towards it.

Tseng hadn't always followed orders the way they were meant to be, taking over a decade to actually bring Aerith back to ShinRa had been one of the more obvious ones.

"...I would have given you some letters I was holding on to for you." He says after a while, evading the comment about sickness. After that there had been a few possibilites; hiding them away like Veld and Aerith 'mysteriously' slipping their watch and the city, bringing the two of them on as Turks, he'd even briefely considered the insanity of taking the Turks out of ShinRa but that would have only gotten them all killed.

"It's too late to change the past though, what could have been isn't a possibility for any of us anymore."

"Don't. I didn't manage to do anything Zack." Tseng replied roughly, "Even here, you've done a better job saving people than I ever did."

He couldn't take the man's thanks, not after everything that had happened. "All I ever did was hold on to things that weren't mine to have."

"You can't save people who don't want to be saved." Tseng said gently, "Sometimes... you have to let them go their own way and learn that the path they've chosen is lonely and cold, eventually they'll find the end of it and turn back. It's our job to wait for them to come back, not go running off in to that void after them."
