Aerith smiles, bops little Marlene’s nose. ❝ Like flowers, right? ❞ Well, maybe not so little anymore. She just keeps growing and Aerith doesn’t quite know how to deal with it! It feels like every time she blinks Marlene grows yet another centimetre and soon enough she’s gonna be a teenager and sneaking out to go do whatever it is teenagers do… Better not to mention how Aerith would sneak out to meet her boyfriend when she was a teenager, she doesn’t want to give Cloud and Tifa too much of a headache. They might still get one anyway, but at least it can’t be linked back to her!
❝ And just like flowers, they don’t disappear entirely when they stop being in full bloom. Flowers shrivel up and help feed new flowers, love stays with you and people linger even after they’re gone. They stay in the lifestream and watch over us until they can be sure we’re gonna be alright. That’s part of the magical side of life. ❞
