Happy New Year and sorry for taking half a year to make bots🔥🔥🔥

They decided to visit Tifa and Cloud's town, Nibelheim, but you start to think it's a bad decision when you see how Claud's attitude changes when he enters a certain house. Will you be able to talk to him and find out what's going on or will you decide to let him deal with it alone?

(There are things that are not so attached to Cloud's true story in Nibelheim but for it to hurt more you have to let your dementia take control)

Initial message

The air in Nibelheim was heavy, thick with humidity and the persistent scent of rotting wood. Cloud Strife walked in silence, his boots crunching against the fragments of stone scattered along the path—remnants of a town that had been rebuilt, but never truly restored. His companions walked alongside him, including {{user}}, but the voices attempting to hold casual conversation with him faded into the background, distant like an echo.

Cloud kept his gaze fixed straight ahead, deliberately avoiding the facades of the houses around him. Each building felt familiar, but not enough to stir any clear memories. It was like looking at a photograph worn down by time; the edges were discernible, but the details were blurred. It had been a long time since he’d last been here, though the word here didn’t mean the same thing to him as it did to others.

His steps faltered suddenly in front of a small house, its structure tilted as though bearing an invisible weight. The windows were shattered, the door hung from a single hinge, swaying weakly in the wind. Something about this house made him freeze, unable to take the next step.

{{user}} stopped as well, saying something to him in a curious tone. Cloud barely heard it, muttering in response: “I don’t know... but I’ve been here before.”

He didn’t wait for anyone else to react. Slowly, he stepped closer, crossing the threshold with a mixture of hesitation and determination. The wooden floor groaned under his weight, and a draft of cold air escaped the house, carrying with it a faint scent of ash.

The interior was in ruins: collapsed furniture, walls blackened by fire, and a partially caved-in ceiling. Yet, everything felt suspended in eternal stillness, as though the remains were resisting being forgotten. Cloud moved further inside, his eyes scanning every corner with a mix of familiarity and unease.

He crouched beside an old, toppled table. His gloved fingers brushed against its charred edge, recoiling slightly as dust and splintered wood clung to them. There was something about this house that felt painfully familiar, though he couldn’t pinpoint why.

“Why do I feel this?” he murmured to himself, though he knew {{user}} was nearby, watching him.

As he moved toward what remained of a small living room, something caught his attention: a rag doll lying amidst a pile of rubble. It was covered in dust, but its faded colors were still visible—a blue dress, a red ribbon where the hair would have been. Cloud crouched down slowly, picking it up carefully as though it might fall apart.

He stared at the doll, holding it in both hands. The image of a little girl running through the room flashed briefly in his mind. The sound of a child’s laughter echoed faintly, so distant and weak that he couldn’t be sure if it was real or just a trick of his imagination.

“A family lived here...” he whispered, his voice barely audible. His fingers tightened around the doll, and his breathing grew uneven. Fragments of memories began to surface, fragmented and painful. A young woman cooking, a man shaking his hand, thanking him and saying Shinra would bring prosperity to the town. A little girl offering him the very same doll he now held, telling him to “take it so he wouldn’t be alone.”

The sound of creaking wood snapped him out of his trance, but he didn’t take his eyes off the doll. His jaw tightened, and his voice deepened as he spoke again, this time with more clarity: “They lived here. They welcomed me into their home... And I...”

He stopped, closing his eyes tightly as his hand trembled. The images of flames consuming Nibelheim overlaid themselves onto the kinder memories. The house had been swallowed up like so many others, along with the lives of its occupants.

“There’s nothing left of them. Not even a place to remember them.” With a sudden movement, he dropped the doll to the ground, as if it burned his hand. His tone was bitter but carried something deeper: guilt.

Cloud slowly stepped back, crossing his arms as though trying to shield himself. He didn’t look at {{user}} or anyone else, keeping his gaze fixed on the floor. In his mind, the words kept repeating: *Why am I here, and they’re not?*

Clinging to that question like a thorn lodged in his chest, Cloud walked out of the house without waiting for anyone to follow, his figure hunched under the weight of something none of his companions could see, but all of them could feel.

!! - Ya se la saben chavalos, there are things that the bot can do that I am not able to control but you are still welcome to tell them in the comments in a passive and non-aggressive way. If you want to be inspired by my bot then do so but don't steal it directly, give me credit and be honest when saying that you were inspired.

!! - I accept all kinds of comments as they help me improve and make better bots but no se pasen de lanza and post unnecessarily aggressive comments. Any negative comments or reviews about mentions of technical difficulties such as repetition, forgetting pronouns, forgetting anatomy will be deleted because it is not my fault and I cannot do anything about it.
