genessia | Sonico is Sorry [video and action]

[video]

*Sonico appears to be in some kind of bar or nightclub. Anyone who recognises the place will know that she's grsbbed herself a seat all alone at the Hangar Queen. She isn't dressed for a fun night out, nor does she look especially happy*

The thing is...

*As she starts to speak, she actually just seems downright miserable*

That's not the kind of woman I am. To anyone I met, or anyone I saw... I promise you. I'm a better person. I really am.

*She drops her gaze as she keeps trying to convince herself, and takes a drink from her bottle of beer*

And Mobius - he - He's a good man. He's a wonderful man. We all said and did things - I - Please. He is a good, good man. Forgive him for the actions that he did not fully realise he was committing...

*Then she stares away at some unknown spot and is too slow at wiping her eyes, a few tears escaping and splashing down her cheeks*

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry.

[Action]

For anyone wanting to find her, or anyone already in the Hangar Queen, Sonico is that girl sitting on her own, half way through one of those buckets of beers that are supposed to be shared with several friends.

[he hasn't met this girl before, but she looks emotionally compromised. he spotted others reacting this way too... was it possible that the effects of whatever was changing people was being reverted? he observes at first, but then he realizes even though he hasn't met her before, he...should probably say something.]

Try not to let it hit you so hard.

[the keyword being try, he realizes as she took a drink]

You weren't the only one. Pretty sure most people would get that.

*While he observes, Sonico just takes a few long drinks of her beer but setting the bottle on the table. When he speaks, her eyes lift to his*

I know. I know... But still... I'm so...ashamed.

*And now she's saying all this to someone she hasn't met and that makes things worse*

Well... It is what it is. [he shrugs, noticing how much Sonico has gone through. hopefully the bartender was responsible. drinking when you were depressed... he's been there.] You got what you needed to say off your chest.

...

Don't forget to drink water. [he's no bartender, nor is he Tifa. but he hoped she could get it out of her system. sometimes people needed to do this.]

It is... It is what it is. I've got it off my chest.

*Said in a rather flat tone. She drained the rest of her beer before sighing heavily and pulling a glass of water toward her*

That means... everything will be okay now...? Doesn't it...?

[that's a question he's not sure he has the right answer to. he's still so new here, still trying to figure everything out himself. maybe he made the wrong call in trying to reach out to her, even on a whim. but...]

Yeah. It will be. [...at least Cloud tried.]

*Sonico doesn't say any more. She just stares down at the glass of water in front of her and nods her head in understanding. He may be a complete stranger to her, but it makes it almost easier for her to accept his words*
