Summary
Something ticked in Paul’s mind as the familiar words washed through him. When he looked at John, his friend was already looking at him. And suddenly, it all became clear: He remembered having that conversation more than 50 years ago. He remembered it too well.
He had been thinking about it for years, wondering what he should have understood, how he should have reacted. If it was as meaningful as it had felt or if his memory had just romanticized it.
“I don’t think a love like that obeys to any rules,” John went on, unaware of Paul’s agitation. “It’s not something that humans have created, not like a societal thing. It’s deeper than that, and that’s what some people are afraid of I guess, because they can’t control it. Whatever laws they create, they can never control it. A white lad will fall in love with a black girl.” He paused. “A lad with another lad. You know.”

He lived by the sword and died by it; he sees no reason to change the bedrock of his personal ethics the second time around.

Summary
Cloud Strife has been through a lot. Monsters, madmen, time travel (probably). But getting yeeted into a world where soulmates are real and colors only exist once you meet them? That’s new.
Now, he’s stuck with a dramatic red-coated SOLDIER who won’t stop quoting loveless and insists they’re bound by fate. Worse, the world is too bright, and the smug bastard has the audacity to look at him like he hung the stars. Cloud just wants to find Aerith, get answers, and maybe not deal with this soulmate nonsense
Genesis Rhapsodos, meanwhile, has waited years for their final soulmate to appear. only for him to be a battle-worn blond who doesn’t even believe in soulmates
Unacceptable. But Genesis is nothing if not determined. If Cloud thinks he can outrun fate, he’s got another thing coming
(And really, how long can he stay in denial when he hasn’t even met the rest of their bond yet?)
