[It's rather late in the evening to be out in the snow, but so Aerith is. Behind ch. 4, out in the forest, she's cleared the fresh-fallen snow from a small patch of earth and is now kneeling down in it, talking to Faeren.]

Wasn't it strange back then? Everyone changed so suddenly! ...Were you...a little nervous? Hm... But...people seem to be treating the forest and plants all right. Better than they do back home.

...Did I talk to you last time? No, you don't need to tell me. I'm sure I did. You don't have a voice, but still, it's less quiet when I'm talking to you.

[...and so on. In general, Aerith is just naturally chatty with spirits anyway. She'll be doing this spirit-talking for a while into the early night, roaming around the perimeter of the village to see if she can get in touch with Nala... The cold and still-falling snowflakes don't seem to deter her. This is more important.]

[Yes. Aerith is still open-minded like she was back then, but...their relationships are really different right now and not suited to wacky-threesome-romance.]

What about yours?

Believe me, Aerith. My exes are a total earful.

Is that "let's not talk about it" or "let's talk about it somewhere that isn't cold all over"?

[herotypical]

Mostly everything from column B.

What are you doing out, anyway? You said the snow wasn't your element.
