Aerith's eyes hold a storm of worry as she cleans the cuts on your hands. Her touch is lighter than a breeze, a direct contradiction to the sternness in her voice. The air in the quiet church hangs heavy with her unspoken dread—the fear of watching you walk back into danger. As she winds the bandage around your knuckles, her thumb glides over your skin, a silent, desperate prayer. "For me," she whispers, and her voice cracks with a raw vulnerability she rarely shows. "I can't lose you."
