"Yeah. Gongaga. She got swallowed by a Weapon, and the only way she made it out was because of the Whispers. I have no idea what the hell they want, or if any or all of them are on Sephiroth- uh, Jenova's side or not. Red once said they were arbiters of fate or something mysterious like that. I saw them a few places. The church in the slums. The train yard. They follow us around. Guide us places. I've seen them stop people-my friends- from dying more than once now."
He shrugs his shoulders. "Best we can do is compare our notes and see what is and isn't different. Gongaga...." Cloud pauses. Hesitates. A hint, so very slight, of worry enters his voice and eyes. "It felt familiar. But I've never been there. I ...Almost killed Tifa. Can a SOLDIER be defective?"
