A/N: I finally decided to post this drabble, despite the depressing nature of it. It's a snippet of a larger story idea I have, that is set about five years after Advent Children.
Tifa stood silently in the misting rain, staring at the freshly chiseled gravestone long after the others had left. For some, the marker was a peaceful memorial, but for her, it would only be a constant reminder of her beloved child: the one who would never grow up to be a man. She lingered, trying to find the words that would grant her the strength to carry on, and give meaning to it all.
Day turned to night, but the words never came. She stayed until Vincent finally came to escort her home.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
"It's not your fault."
