   Summary

   ”I love you. Always did.”
   Vincent never hears the voicemail. Not when it might have mattered. Everyone believes he is dead after Omega.

   Yuffie keeps fighting — for the planet, for her friends, and for the man she refuses to mourn.

   Vincent keeps running — convinced staying away is the only way to keep her safe.

   She refuses to mourn him.
   He refuses to go back to her.
   The world doesn’t care what either of them wants.

   As the WRO fractures from within and old threats resurface, grief stops being something you survive—and starts becoming something that can break the world all over again.

   Post-Dirge of Cerberus. Slow burn.
