[It takes Cloud a minute to compose himself, but it's still shocking even without the jumbled memories bouncing around in his head. He knows him. This...this is Zack. This is the man that went to Nibelheim as a SOLDIER, the one who saved Cloud. Who died to save him.
Were they friends before that? God, Cloud couldn't even remember.
But it's definitely him. The scar on his cheek, the eyes, even the way he says his name is familiar. And Cloud remembers, of all things, his boots. The way his shoes look, the way Zack would tuck his pant legs into the cuffs of his boots haphazardly because he couldn't be assed to do it the proper way when he wasn't under inspection. ...did Cloud know that, or did Zack tell him? He doesn't know.
What he does know is that Zack is supposed to be dead.]
