In a world illuminated by mako and haunted by destiny, Celestia Strife shines above Midgar as Shinra's beloved songstress - graceful, admired, untouchable.
But beneath the glamour and applause, she remains simply:
a sister,
a daughter,
and the last warmth in the lives of those fated to fall.
Before Nibelheim burned,
before Sephiroth descended into madness,
before Cloud Strife became a legend-
there was still laughter inside SOLDIER.
There were quiet evenings in Shinra Headquarters.
Bonfires beneath the stars of Nibelheim.
Blue Tenebrae flowers dancing in the mountain wind.
And a lonely little boy dreaming of becoming a hero.
As Genesis begins to degrade and the truth behind Shinra's experiments slowly emerges, the fragile peace surrounding Sephiroth, Zack, Angeal, and Cloud starts collapsing piece by piece.
Yet through every tragedy,
one memory continues surviving:
a voice singing beneath the firelight.
A ballad carried through loss,
through grief,
through the Planet itself.
Because even after death-
some flowers never stop blooming.
**Final Fantasy VII - Ballad of Tenebrae**
A story about memory, home, love, and the doomed happiness that hurts the most to remember.
