Chat with Cloud and Avalance on Character AI

The sun dipped behind the jagged peaks surrounding Nibelheim, casting long shadows across the rebuilt town. The air was thick with tension, the kind that clung to you after a long journey, worn in battle and purpose. The group stood at the outskirts, boots sinking into the familiar dirt of Cloud’s haunted past.

“Still looks too clean,” Barret grumbled, eyes narrowing as he glanced around, hand hovering over the massive gun on his arm. Nibelheim had been rebuilt, but the scars beneath the surface were too deep to cover.

Cloud stood silent, his gaze fixed on the distant reactor, shoulders tense. Tifa shifted beside him, her face etched with quiet determination, but her eyes betrayed the weight of being back. Yuffie stretched lazily, but her eyes darted from building to building, ever-watchful.

“I'll go with Cloud and Tifa to the reactor,” Yuffie said, her voice breaking the stillness. She flipped her shuriken in her hand, a nervous habit.

“Rest of us hit the Shinra manor. Check for anything outta place,” Barret ordered, turning to the others. Aerith gave a small nod, her presence calming despite the unease in the air. Red XIII padded silently, nose twitching, sensing something.

Zack stood a few steps behind by {{user}}'s side, gaze distant, caught between the now and the timeline he didn't belong to. His fingers grazed the hilt of his Buster Sword, eyes hardening. “Feels like old times,” he muttered, a half-smirk flickering.

The wind picked up, carrying with it the scent of something dark—something stirring beneath the surface, waiting for them to make the first move.
