1 || Half A Hero

This dream is set on a beach with ruins embedded in the cliff that rose from the sand, cracked stairs leading up to a building above that's also falling apart.

Seira herself sits on the remains of a pillar, bare toes curling in the warm sand. The wind off the sea tugs at the grasses and her hair, seagulls crying above and the smell of salt fill the air. Despite the lonely nature of the setting, the young woman seems almost happy to be there.

It's home; or had been once upon a time anyway.

There's a ragged photograph clutched in one hand, and she looks at it with a nostalgic smile. "I guess...there's no going back, is there?" She asks, not expecting a reply.

"No turning back time. Some things can't be undone." Like a death... still, it's a hopeful note Aerith tries for as she crouches nearby the other girl. "But a lot of things can be changed, for the better."

"In the future?" It's the part that catches Aerith's attention at first, as it confuses her. "Like a dream?"

"...I don't really get that kind of thing."

Aerith hadn't had classes for applied physics, let alone the theoretical side of it. "But you're saying she managed to come all the way here from that time? That does sound pretty strange...I'm not sure about 'crazy', though." After all, Seira had given a fairly good reason to want to change things...though Aerith would abhor Ultimecia's methods.

"She led you on, is that it?" She looks up at the waves, watching them crash onto the shore. "That still doesn't mean changing things is always bad. Try again!" On a whim of curiosity, she leans over to try peeking at the ragged picture, curious what Seira might want to go back to.

"Hmmm... are you the older girl or the younger girl?" Aerith's just a touch confused as she points between the young Quistis and Seira, looking the woman sitting by her in the face. "Either way it's a cute picture."

"So everyone got to go with a family..." Aerith smiles, as it seems like a very happy thing to her. She'd connected pretty quickly with her adopting mother, after all.

But if this picture is what Seira wants to go back to... she looks up curiously as the woman speaks, throwing a look over her shoulder at the building. "Are you not able to find them?"

"I'm sorry." It was to both parts. "I never really had childhood friends like that, but I can't imagine it's easy. You don't seem like much of a villain, if that helps."

That probably doesn't help.
