[The two of them have shared a lot of stories about their lives by now. But Zack hasn't explained this part of his life. It's dark. And hazy even for him now. And he's not sure he wants to bring up the old trauma of it all not after he's finally managed to escape it. In the grand scheme of things, G'raha has led a life so intense and full of self-sacrifice that he knows he'll understand. And still, Zack hesitates.
But he manages to explain further. He explains to G'raha how he was kept in that vat of chemicals for ... years. He explains to G'raha how it was just him and Cloud, trapped, drowning and unable to gain enough consciousness to move or fight. He explains how he still doesn't know exactly what Hojo did to their bodies but it had something to do with Jenova cells and how Zack was strong enough to handle it where Cloud wasn't. Eventually, Zack managed to gain enough strength back to break the glass and get him and Cloud out of there but... The memories of floating are still heavy.]
Guess that's what makes these nightmares that much worse for me.
