[ good day to you too, zuko. and honestly i have no idea if cloud ever learned this about him or not but the visual is not great no matter what, and at the end of it he's just. looking at zuko worriedly ]
... You good?
[ but you put this on wednesday so he is wearing wolf ears ]
... It's one moment. I wouldn't call it your entire history. [ he grabs his shoulder gently ] Been happening all week anyway. I've leaked more memories here than I ever even had back in the Realm.
[ well. cloud is holding onto his head like he has a headache, because it turns out a memory of a headache still gives him the headache. incredible. but he shakes his head after a second ]
He's... It's hard to explain. [ he's looking away ] He... was a war hero. I joined after the war, and he was a general. We went on a mission to my hometown, and he... snapped.
[ And This Happened is the implication. he refuses to expand on that ]
... That was five years ago. I thought I killed him back then. And he seems pretty convinced that I did, too. I'm not sure how he's back. But-- that's my problem now.

Yeah, but it's not a great memory to see. [ but at least cloud has the memories to leak!!! ]
I guess the bright side is that you have all your memories back now, right?
[ im very funny ]

[ there is so much fire. zuko goes still for a moment, trying to figure out how to parse this. ]
[ the implication that he's reaching for his mom who is burning to death is very very yikes. also. is it a hallucination? ]
... Who was that? Sephiroth?
[ nananana ]

[ and go quiet. ]
I'm sorry.
[ that's rough, buddy. ]
[ from this limited memory zuko isn't sure if it's a hallucination, or not, like cloud said, but ]
You can defeat him again. I'm sure of it.
[ real or not... ]

Maybe he's just waiting for you to show up? He seems to have a weird obsession with you.
