[Having taken care of the coffin by tearing it apart, Vincent has wandered by the store for some supplies and now makes his way home. He's noticed Lucrecia being around the apartment more ever since it's started getting cold... and as a bodyguard, he has decided he must protect her from the elements. ...It makes logical sense in his mind, anyway. He also has to inform her to speak with Cloud, so has lots of excuses now to see her.]

[Yes, by his logic he still needs excuses even though he lives with her.]

[He heads inside the apartment...]

Lucrecia? ...Are you home?
