"How is it going, Lucrecia?" A woman asked as she approached the pregnant woman to her right. She chuckled.

"I'm doing... okay. What about you? How's Nez?" She asked as Aurora sat down.

"Well, Nezuko is excited for a little brother, but..." Aurora then sat up and put her hands together. "This... Project D... Hojo thinks that it'll work along with Project S."

"It would make sense... we were injected with 'her' cells at the same time and did Hojo's same method..." Lucrecia said as she looked at her friend and fellow scientist. "Do you... ever wonder why we do this? Why we implemented these cells into our body?"

Aurora sighed. "Don't go getting second ideas... you'll only get yourself hurt."

"That easy for you to say. You're one of the top scientists." Lucrecia argued but Aurora sat back and sighed.

"...They're letting me go."

"...What..?"

"You heard me, it's apparently part of my mission. To move out to a small town in Nibelheim. Live a normal life away from what they plan to do with Project S. See if the skills remain the same if the lives are contrasted drastically." Aurora explained as Lucrecia looked in shock.

"But, you'll be loosing your job-!" "They'll pay for everything and let my family name clearance for top records in all of Shinra." Aurora interrupted her friend. "I have an old friend, Brian Lockhart, who lives there. Brian got me a house next to him. But...Mostly, I'm more concerned about you." Aurora said as she pulled out some papers. "Some reports coming in about you muttering someone in your sleep. Someone named Vincent?"

"Don't worry about it." Lucrecia immediately said as Aurora looked at her and nodded. The two sat in silence before... "These two will technically be related... won't they?"

"Yes, they both come from the same cells, but they are also our children, and they will always come first." Aurora stated as Lucrecia smiled.

"Yeah, you're right! ...When do you get sent off?" She asked.

"In about a month...So that gives us enough time..." Aurora said as they both smiled. "To say our final goodbyes."

The scene transitions to looking at Aurora's pregnant belly to showing you walking forward. The others slowly get up.

"Looks like we made it." Barret said as he looked at you all. "And with small injures to show-!" The ground shook a and everyone stumbled a bit. Barret looked at Jessie. "Think you may have overdone it?"

"I followed the instructions to the letter, maybe it triggered a reaction to the mako?" Jessie theorized as you crossed your arms.

"No, it wouldn't have caused tremors like this. It would at least would have caused a small shake in the reactor, not this." You said as everyone went silent.

"Well, let's hope the city's in one piece." Barret says as Biggs looks at him.

"But the planet's what matters, right?" He asked as the ground shook again. "I mean, this must have helped some."

"After all that, it better have. Anyway, let's get going. We in sector 8?" Jessie asked Wedge.

"That'd be just down there." Wedge said as he looked at you. You weren't really paying attention and pondering this bad feeling you were getting.

"Alright, then. Lead the way. Y/n?" Barret said as you snapped out of your daze. He smirked at you. "Can you wait a little longer till you see Tifa?"

"Huh?!" You said as everyone chuckled except Cloud who gave a small smirk. "You guys are losing it! I wasn't even thinking about that!"

"Sure, sure." Wedge said as the group started to walk forward.
