[ 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.
