    Boy oh boy,the price of freedom is steep...

     
    ...Rosa rossa
     Cloud Strife: [Zack lies at the edge of a cliff, dying; various pieces of 'enemies' armor & weapons scattered across the ground; Cloud, still weak from "Mako addiction", crawls toward Zack; when he finally reaches Zack's side] Z-Zack.
    Zack Fair: [grunts in pain; face relaxes, he looks at Cloud; with a smile] For the... both of us.
    Cloud Strife: [confused] Both... of us?
    Zack Fair: That's right... you're gonna...
    Cloud Strife: [as if to prompt him] You're gonna...
    Zack Fair: [Zack reaches out, grabs Cloud behind the head; as he pulls Cloud's head down to rest on his chest] Live.
    [holds his head in comradery/friendship]
    Zack Fair: You'll be... my living legacy.
    [hand drops to his side; Cloud sits up again, the side of his face now covered with Zack's blood; Cloud just looks at Zack silently; Zack looks over at Buster; drags it towards Cloud]
    Zack Fair: My honor... my dreams...
    [holds Buster out towards Cloud]
    Zack Fair: they're yours now.
    Cloud Strife: [reaches for the sword with one hand; eventually grabs with the other also; Zack briefly touches Cloud's hand before he pulls the sword towards himself; silent a few moments] I'm... your living... legacy.
    [Zack closes his eyes, smiles and dies; Cloud, distraught, looks up at the sky, screams his grief]
    Zack Fair: [hears his voice] Embrace your dreams.
    [brief pause]
    Zack Fair: If you want to be a hero, you need to have dreams.
    Cloud Strife: Thank you... I won't forget.
    [stands up; bows his head in sadness; once he recovers]
    Cloud Strife: Good night
    [turns to leave, stops; almost whispered]
    Cloud Strife: Zack.
    ...
    Rosa rossa
    ...
    Zack Fair: That girl, she said the sky... frightened her.
    [pause]
    Zack Fair: That looks so... liberating.
    [opens his eyes]
    Zack Fair: Those wings... I want them too.
    [pause]
    Zack Fair: It feels... good.
    [pause, see Cloud walking though the 'plains']
    Zack Fair: If you see Aerith, say hi for me. Hey, would you say... I became a hero?
