It looked like despite everyone's reservations, they all had agreed to move on. Zack was glad for that, since they'd wasted enough time with him having to make a detour, and then adding on a fourth person after that. Getting hung up on previous times spent here and being worried about dead weight was just going to ensure that they didn't make it anywhere.

But once they got moving, they really moved, and that was the important thing. They left the blood-stained scene of the Sun Room behind and then got through the cafeteria without even a stir from the shadows. Which brought them to the kitchen, which seemed similarly quiet.

Were they going to get lucky enough to get through untouched? Signs were pointing to yes, and so Zack made sure not to slow down. It was odd, though, how people could come and go here. It made him think about how Aerith might return sometime, and yet she'd be without memories. She'd have to handle seeing him alive all over again. Part of him didn't want to do that to her, but a larger part wanted her to not be brainwashed anymore.

"You two know each other from back home?" Zack directed at Sasuke and Gaara as he continued through the kitchen. "And you knew him when he was here before?" he asked Aidou next. Maybe it would have been better to just stay out of it, but that was easier said than done, wasn't it? He figured there was no harm to it so long as he didn't slow anyone down -- which he wasn't.
