(see, he was going to assume that he was there alone. why wouldn't he? if this was some manner of strange purgatory, he knew better than to presume he'd see familiar faces. but the surprise was more the familiar red head, zack actually recognized that voice and this man. reno?! he remembers that he should have been alive, he definitely should have been. cissnei had warned him and everything. gave him a means of escaping for a time with cloud, while the other man was not doing so well during his attempt to reach safety.

he almost wants to ask if that means any other people from back home were there, but it's better he didn't. he can find out in time, would later technically in one case on set.

okay. he'll have to ask about it later, if zack does wind up having a longer stay in this unusual place. the fact they can bring the dead back is already a surprise.) Reno! (it didn't matter, he didn't think it did, even if he smiles the way he used to. he could be here and then gone again, back off into the lifestream.)

I did try asking around, y'know? All they kept doing was telling me to get to makeup.

(as well as gave him questionable looks whenever he tried to ask about anything else, such as if they heard about a place called midgard. didn't seem like he could get any reasonable answers, but he takes it well and rolls with it. zack was supposed to be dead, that's the truth and reality of his situation. he knows he did pass on, yet that won't stop him from making the most of this from what little he can do.)

I woke up in one of those trailers earlier, heck I even got photographed by a bunch of people because I walked out in nothing but my underwear and that robe they gave me since I didn't have any clothes.
