This, I knew it wouldn't take long, allow me to explain:

First time seen in Final Fantasy - First time seen is a scene which has blood in it, Aerith's blood.

Shock, horror or hilarity - First time you see this you experience shock at her death horror if you realised all those hours levelling her were for naught, or hilarity if you hated her and you no longer have to put up with her.

From above they descend to me - quite simple really, Sephiroth and the Masamune.

You have to face it, it's reality - perhaps the most obvious of all, how many revive Aerith theories have we seen over the years, way way way to many, despite this the fact that she cannot be revived is reality.
