[ It's like a pebble in a shoe. Something about the memory nags at him, right now. Something he feels he needs to deal with. But at the same time... there's an unbidden fear of something, of not knowing whether examining that memory is a good idea. He doesn't know exactly why. Maybe Aerith might have some idea, maybe she doesn't.
Maybe this is what he's throwing into the fire — an unknown fear of examining where he came from. ]

[ It starts to flow freely, now that he can actually start to tell it. The story before it became a scar on his heart. A dull pain in the pit of his stomach, lessened only by time and distance, but never back to what it once was. ]
