[ That's an astute observation, she'd think, if Aerith hadn't spent the earlier years of her life in captivity. She looks at him with a placid sort of smile, the kind you offer someone when the topic at hand is near impossible to answer even in the most polite of company. ]
Mm-mm. Well, sort of. [ Looking back at the window, she sees the expensive fabrics and sighs softly. ] I was adopted. [ That's the best way to put it, she thinks. It's not a lie, either. ] So, my memory of the place past around seven years old isn't too reliable, but it was also already happening when I got to Sector 5. That's the thing about places like Topside, though. They have the money to constantly expand. I don't think there's ever been anything new in the slums. New faces, new adventures, but never new buildings.
If you mean the sky... We're lucky in Sector 5 and get natural sunlight. It's more than other sectors get. Plus, we're still standing. If Shinra ever decides to drop the plate, well. They just can.
[ A puff of air passes from her. Not quite a laugh or a huff of agitation. The topic is fresh— she'd just seen Sector 7 demolished, and a whirlwind of emotion swims in her green eyes. None of it looks good. ]
Well, as true as it is, the best thing we can do is look to tomorrow. Sorta like how... we don't have till tomorrow to convince this sweet stand owner that we have better taste than them.
