    Summary

    But no, he was the naive one. Cloud may know jack about gardening, he still knows enough that any type of flower growing in the slums would have to put up a relentless fight between Midgar’s poisoned soil and sunless sky alone—and that’s not even factoring the resilience it takes to bloom. No, the flower seller owns the slums of Sector 7, queen of busted mako pipes and garbage piles. And judging by the quick turn of her hand and turn of sales with it? She’s good at playing the part.

     

    Five years since his departure, Cloud returns to Midgar with little more than dim memories and an empty wallet. He's put to work by Avalanche who is coordinating a bombing on one of Shinra's reactors, but his first independent assignment gives him much more than he had bargained for.

    Summary

    “It wasn’t uncommon for townspeople in Nibelheim to propose or promise something with grass rings or flower crowns.”

    “That’s… really adorable.”

    It doesn’t take him long to finish his creation. The ring isn’t perfect—it’s uneven and crooked around the middle and a little loose on the edge—but he’s surprised his muscle memory is even able to make one.

    Summary

    He was an odd sort: awkward, clumsy, and always telling the tallest of tales. At least, the others thought they were tall tales. Yuna believed him. When she told him so, he broke into the widest grin that barely fit into his face.

    “I wish you could see it,” he later said. “Zanarkand; the city that never sleeps.” His glance cut over to her face, the grin still in place. “I’ll take you there someday.”

    ---

    A look into the moments Tidus and Yuna shared throughout their journey across Spira: the dreams he offered, the promises he made.
