Hey did you guys know Reeve is the one who had to tell Elmyra and Marlene that Aerith died in the original game. I think about this constantly

#I’ve never truly Reeveposted here but if I did it would just be posts like this #cait tells you this if you speak to him in the Highwind. he says Elmyra and Marlene both cried their eyes out #the idea of Reeve who has been spying on the gang but has come to really care about them despite his hesitance and misgivings #watching aerith die #and knowing that with Tseng out of commission and the Turks handling stuff for Rufus. no one is going to think about telling Elmyra. #and he already has her and Marlene under surveillance. and it’s the worst fucking thing in the world but someone has to tell her #ugh. Ough. AUGH. #reeve a guy caught between his ideals and the rock they’ve been ground underneath having to go tell this woman that her daughter is dead. #and he’s so fucking sorry about it. #and there’s nothing anyone can do to fix it #and if Elmyra throws something at him or yells at him it’s no less than he deserves but honestly. #considering aerith could tell when elmyra’s husband died #I think she probably already said goodbye to her mom. and reeve’s news is just confirmation #and that’s somehow even worse #ugh. #text #reeve tuesti #ff7 #I’m tagging these for my purposes so uh sorry if this is in the main tags
