[Oh, he's being spooned? Yeah, actually, he's cool with this. Zack makes a quiet noise, a weird mix between content and uncertain, enjoying the experience of being hugged and pampered but wary of the offer. If that kind of magic exists...]
Dunno if I could do it for real. Even if it was a choice... still kind of a big part of me, y'know?
[He can wish for it sometimes, but not want it gone entirely, right? Nibelheim changed the both of them in different ways. He came out the other side still himself, just a version that stepped sideways. Less naive about everything. More of a survivor than before (which he recognizes is ironic). He couldn't be quite so reckless, with the lives of other people on the line. It's not bad, right? Aerith still loves him. Cloud still loves him. He's still Zack.
...He was tired, though. Nibelheim and everything that came after made him so very tired.]
