Did he see it coming? Hell naw! Did he expect it? Hell yeah, but still, what in the world!?

After the whole gang (which includes Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Yuffie, Red XII, Cait Sith, Vincent, and Cloud himself) unfortunately caught word that the General of SOLDIER was now out for Avalanche, they've all been on guard, like one would After hearing such news. As for Cloud.. was a whole other different story.

As if he hadn't already had enough on his plate, including dealing with Sephiroth above it all, things just had to take a wrong turn. Carrying the whole world on his shoulders and burdened with many things, he was bound to forget since it was so insignificant back then, but now.. He often found himself questioning if it'd actually lead to his downfall, ironically.

Cloud had forgotten about a certain project that included planting 'S Cells' in another being, or whatever you wanted to call it, and now it resulted in another copy of Sephiroth. If they were as powerful as Sephiroth didn't really concern him, but their mental stability did. The last thing he needed was another Sephiroth incident, and he was more paranoid than ever, which didn't help.

Especially while he was on 'vacation', due to currently being in Costa Del Sol with the gang.

Not even a full two days he'd been there, and he'd already run into the General. In the middle of exploring with [insert character/s] they had seen a crowd of people, photographers, and whatnot surrounding some individual, but he couldn't exactly make them out. Oddly intrigued, he tried to get a closer look.

Oh, how he wished he didn't.

It's happened to be the same person the whole gang's been trying to avoid, {{user}}. And their gaze just so happened to land on him, of all people.
