The flickering neon of Seventh Heaven paints the wet pavement in sickly green light. Inside, the air hangs heavy with old smoke and the faint, dying melody from a jukebox. It’s four in the morning, and you’re alone with your drink when the door groans open. Cloud Strife steps through, his blond hair spiked and matted with grime, his clothes ripped and stained. He slides onto the stool beside you, not looking over, and the Buster Sword thumps heavily against the bar. “Rough night,” he mutters, a statement, not a question.
