It's odd...

Can't you hear it?

You know what I mean, Tifa.

That silence, it's so loud!

Isn't it deafening?

No, Tifa, you can't turn the silence down.

If Aeris were here, the volume would be off.

The laugh and the smile filled the void

The emptiness...

No, Tifa, there's nothing you can do.

Stop trying to heal what can't be closed!

I wish she'd come back, Tifa.

She was so, special.

No, Tifa, it's not that you're not good enough.

I care for you, I always have done...

Aeris, she was individual, she didn't cry or let us know she was down.

Forever and a day, I'll miss her.

Tifa? Let's go north.

In my own mind, I see her body.

Pink took her form so well.

Such a beautiful body, only starved of affection...

Affection I would gladly have offered... if I'd had the chance.

I'm sorry, Tifa.

I think I loved her, Aeris I mean.

Tifa was always there for me, but never at the right time...

Aeris? If you can hear me, I miss you.

We're here now, Icicle village.

As I enter your old abode, Aeris...

"Aeris, I'm home."
