The sky was darker than usual, and already, he could hear low growls of thunder. Vincent frowned and continued to walk, to wherever, he didn't mind. He just needed to stretch and to move his legs, the silence that met him at his house was deafening.

Although sleeping in a coffin for 30 years did make him completely used to being stiff, he wouldn't want the feeling to return, so he decided to jump to a tree branch and practice. He felt a little naked without his gun to accompany him, but he could manage.

He swiftly leapt into the air and used his claw to grab on to a branch of a nearby tree. He pulled himself up with grace and did the same thing, over and over again, complicating his leaps with twists and turns and somersaults even, until he was satisfied with his skills and decided to rest for a while. He took a spot underneath the shade of a big tree and crossed his arms, as he leaned on the hard trunk.

Vincent heard something click, however, and looked down to his feet. He moved his right foot, and he heard something click again. He blinked and bent down, searching for whatever it was that was causing that noise. He felt a smooth item grasp his hand, and lifting it up, he saw a small, dirty white box, probably made of porcelain. He traced the gold plated features with his free hand and toppled it up and down.

He felt an urge to open the small box, and he soon went with his instinct and lifted the cover. There was nothing inside, except small cogs and bolts moving in harmony, producing a soothing melody.

Vincent felt his eyes droop. It was a refreshing sound to hear. The song lifted his emotions, his abyss colored wings subconsciously moving in approval to the rhythem of the music. He suddenly remembered his time with AVALANCHE, when Marlene first said his name and asked him to play with her, when they defeated Sephiroth and when she smiled at him and offered to eat lunch with her. He didn't notice it, but he was soon drifting away into his own world, his dreams returning, even though he was still wide awake.
