  Summary

  He’s once again chasing and tripping on the tail of his own mind— following a line of breadcrumbs that lead to nothing at all. His thoughts walk in circles, an aimless and anxious dog pacing around the thing they desire that’s been sealed up. The syllables of a name he used to utter in reverence rot on the tip of his tongue.

  Cloud is working with a blank slate, grieving someone that he can’t remember and trying to piece his fragmented mind back together. Zack isn’t too happy watching it all from the lifestream.
