"It's good you have people. Even if they're off set in time from you."

Laguna noticed the little frown, the internal struggle the boy seemed to have. It had to be hard, to be lifted out of the stream and see a different world and the same faces but far ahead.

He weighed a moment before bumping Cloud's shoulder.

"It's hard. I know. My... my son was just born. His mother passed away and he's waiting for me with his sister."

He's staring at his hands, touching where his wedding ring had been before the Lifestream robbed him of that too.

"We're both losing time with our loved ones. Or..lost time. But there's still plenty left right?"

His somber expression shifts into a grin again and he ruffles Cloud's hair.
