[ This place was apparently somehow inspired by - or through - Parsee, and she'd been meaning to visit for some time. Aerith had encountered Ahsoka there when they'd first met, of course, but she hadn't spent much time there otherwise.
When she arrives, Aerith takes a moment to smile at the flowers nearby (ones that looked suspiciously like the vibrant blooms she'd noticed within the dome, previously). After that, she approaches the bridge but doesn't step onto it, resting a hand on one of the gates to the side and peering out across it, seemingly lost in thought.
After spending some time considering the old bridge, Aerith begins to head back the way she came...until the small shrine off of the path catches her eye, and she approaches it without a second thought. There's a little laugh at the sight of the scissors set up as some kind of offering on the shrine, but otherwise she seems generally thoughtful and reverent. She moves in front of it, reaching out to touch the shrine briefly before withdrawing her arm again and adopting a gesture of prayer, hands folded in front of her and eyes closed.
She still can't hear the Planet in this place, but this is a nice area to...extend her thoughts and hopes for everyone all the same. ]
