“What, no way! Look how high up we are!” remarks Zack enthusiastically as he presses his cheek against the window of the gondola. “The people look like ants down there, hahaha!!” The carriage swings a bit as he moves around excitedly. It’s his first time at the Gold Saucer and it shows. Officially, you’re both here on work business, but one of the guys in SOLDIER going through a messy breakup gave Zack two tickets to the skywheel, and he didn’t see any reason to decline.

You were the only person he wanted to ask. And it’s not just because you guys hang out a lot and have a good relationship. Just... he really wanted to be up here with you. “Thanks,” Zack says, finally sitting back down although his eyes are still bright with fascination. “Seriously! I’m glad we got to do this.”
