That time again, huh...

Hey, does anybody know what the housing situation's like? I haven't counted the number of empty houses or checked out the apartments... should we be worried about having enough room for everyone? We've been getting a lot of New Feathers every month lately.

Oh, and... hey, Aerith, can I talk to you about something?

[Edit - Private to Cloud]

We need to talk, too.

[Edit 2 - Private to John - somewhat hackable :|]

Hey, doctor. You're monitoring this, right? Let's talk.

[wise_maiden]

... Has he made plans to do so already?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

No. I... think I'll have to take care of it myself, though I'd hate to do that to him.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I'm certain he would be very unwilling, considering his reaction towards your procedure. The alternatives aren't much better, however.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

No. Cloud hates his memory problems - to let them get even worse would be like going against his wishes or something. If we know there's a problem and a way to fix it, then we should do it. It's what he'd want.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... How bad off is he, exactly?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

...He forgot Aerith. If he's forgetting someone like her, it's really serious. He could forget any one of us next.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... That's... forgetting a person entirely?

You're right. If it's already gone that far, then we should definitely act as soon as possible. Although...

[Action]

[wingenvy]

...What is it? [Oh dear, something he doesn't know?]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She's quiet for a moment; perhaps there isn't any harm in bringing it up.]

John and I already have an... arrangement for an upcoming procedure. It was made the other day, when he addressed the network. Cloud can take my place, if things are going that badly with him.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Huh... that's a pretty generous offer, Raine. [Tempting, too, if it can be arranged. Cloud really does need help ASAP.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I'm not certain how much of a time frame you have to decide... but it is for a similar issue.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Seems like his offer is ongoing. Whenever he runs out of people, he asks for more. I guess it must be boring down in the tunnels.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Perhaps so. At least the opportunity to do something about it at all exists.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Seriously. I don't know what we'd do if Cloud was stuck this way.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Especially at the rate things are deteriorating for him lately.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Yeah...

I'll try talking him into it again.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Is he aware of the severity of his situation?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

I think he knows, he just doesn't want to acknowledge it.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... Hopefully he will.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

There's not much more we can do.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Hmm...

If I do go first... do you think that would help prove to him that it's ... safe?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

I don't know. I've already been through it and came out just fine, once I got over the mako poisoning. He still doesn't think he'll be okay.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Mmm. But your case was different, and the fact that you got Mako poisoning terrified him. His penalty is at least somewhat similar to mine... so if it goes well, then perhaps it would reassure him...

[Action]

[wingenvy]

I guess we'll have to wait and see. We can't control who John takes, or when.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Hm. No, I suppose not.
