[ Cloud never was a SOLDIER either... but it's a fact that's touchy enough that, for better or worse, Lightning's not going to correct the misunderstanding for now. Even she can't say for sure whether they ever really got along here in Luceti, but Hojo really managed to fuck that guy up. And that's not something everyone needs to find out about when he's not around. ]

[ "Shoot on sight until incapacitated and drag back if she survives" is probably the more accurate one for her in particular. "Wanted dead or blown to bits" might work for the men.
Needless to say, Lightning's voice has dropped to a bitter mumble. The irony is that she came here to get her mind off having to insist that what she remembers as her past isn't a lie... and now she's having to talk about it and doesn't want to. ]
