Possession (1981) / Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God), Kate Bush
I came up with this scene before FF7 Rebirth was even released while listening to Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" (widely known for being Max's theme in Season 4 of Stranger Things ๐), so imagine how touched I was to find that Rebirth's plot went exactly as I envisioned it in this artwork. ๐ฅบ๐
This game was amazing and I loved the many Clerith moments as much as the heartbreaking ending where Cloud and Aerith's paths split... ๐ So please, Square Enix, give them a happy ending in Part 3! We Clerith fans want Aerith to live! ๐ญ๐
Knowing what we know now about Vecna, you HAVE to admit that Billy was an absolute badass for looking this thing dead in the eye and going FACE TO FACE with it. He must've been so scared, and Vecna called him weak and fragile. But that's Henry's ego talking. He put down El too when she refused to join him. Billy was powerful in this moment. With a little help from El, he was able to break Vecna's mind control and stand up to him. A measly human, with LITERALLY NO IDEA of what exactly he was facing. (Eddie and Robin were still brought into the fold and had an idea of what was going on.)
And for that, I say rock on Billy Hargrove. You're a hero too. You saved lives too.
( Okay so , what I am about to say is probably so stupid and I'm sure that it was super clear to everyone from the start BUT I'll say it anyway lol )
"Running up that hill" is literally perfect as Max's favourite song.
Like when it says " If I only could I'd make a deal with God and I'd get him to swap our places" I just *know* that Max felt that in her bones because this poor girl has spent so much time imagining a different scenario where she pulls Billy out of the way and sacrifices herself, where the roles are swapped and she is gone while it is billy that's left with the soul crushing sadness that comes from losing a person that you didn't really know and now you'll never get to.
Also it is perfect for Lucas as well because I am 100% sure that if he only could he'd make a deal with God and take Max's place , so that she wouldn't have to deal with all of this pain anymore.

The world around me felt quiet as I walked away from the car, towards the quiet field. My head for once, was quiet. There were no thoughts of regret, guilt, or even anger for what happened that night at the mall.
The folded piece of paper felt weightless in my hand, though it held the heavy thoughts that have been stuck in my head for months, the months that were spent without him.
I stopped walking when I reached the headstone I dreaded seeing again.
BILLY HARGROVE
MAR 29 1967
JUL 4 1985
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
My heart felt heavy once my eyes read the headstone over, even though I had it memorized since the last time I saw it.
His funeral.
I sat down in front of the neat headstone, swiping a few leaves off the bottom of it. I looked down at the paper in my hand for a few seconds, contemplating whether or not I actually wanted to read it.
A heavy breath left my body before I decided to unfold the paper and read it, besides if death was going to come so soon why not clear my head first.
Dear Billy,
I know that you hated me, since the very day I was born you only saw me as a problem in your life. And for a really long time I felt the same way.
But I realize now that I was wrong, and I'm sorry.
But if someone told me a year ago I would be sitting at you grave and grieving over your death, I would think they were mental. Because why would I mourn you? The only thing you have ever done for is take me to school, hell sometimes you didn't even do that. You would ditch me for some hookup.
But I realize now you did so much more foe me, but I just never thought to notice.
Whenever I would do something that I knew dad would get mad about, you always somehow managed to get into bigger trouble, or start a fight with him. You made sure that I never had to deal with him, or the the things he would do if he found out.
I always thought that I would spend my entire life hating you, but what do I know? I just learned that I may die in less that 24 hours, so I just going to stop assuming I know anything thing anymore.
But the worst part about all of this is that I want to be able to not care that your gone, to keep living my life like you weren't killed by some monster from another dimension right in front of me.
I keep thinking back to that day, thinking that I should have tried to get you to change your mind about saving El, thinking that I should have been the one to have taken your place.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt as much as missing you. Maybe you would still be here, and everything would be right again.
But I don't have powers like El, I can't fix this, I can't go back to that day and take your spot, and I can't change what dad did to you.
I imagine that if you were still here, nothing between us would have changed. Or, maybe it would. Maybe we could have been friends, like a real brother and sister.
But your not here, and nothing can change that
I'm sorry.
I'm so so sorry Billy.
Love you shitty little sister, Y/N
I let out a heavy breath, folding the paper back into it's original form and shoving it in my pocket.
I wiped the stay tears that managed to escape my eyes before standing up to walk back to the car, but before I took a step, the sky around me turned dark.
I looked around me, everything was the same, just darker.
"Hey Y/N." It felt like I was just stabbed in the chest as I heard Billy's voice from behind me.
I slowly turned around, my eyes met with his grey eyes, the eyes that I haven't seen since he died.
Tears slowly fell down my face, the only thing I wanted to do was run up to him and give him a hug, tell him everything that I wanted to say but didn't get the chance to.
He stood there, he didn't move.
But a small smile formed on his face, and he opened his arms, he opened his arms for me.
A sob escaped my mouth, my heart felt so heavy in my chest, I didn't know what to do.
He walked towards me, and the closer he got the more my heart hurt, I just wanted to be with him. I wanted to be able to be held in my big brother's arms for the first time.
So I let him get closer, until he had me in his arms. He felt so warm as he held me tightly, I cried into his chest and wrapped my arms around him.
I was finally with my big brother again, and I never wanted it to end.
Even if it now meant that I had to join him in death.

If Gerard Way sang running up that hill
Bro I was so happy summer 2022 ๐
Having some thoughts about Mav's favourite song post-TG being "Running Up That Hill" because he wishes he could exchange places with Goose and that he died instead of him.
