He wanted to be happy with Tifa. He wanted to be there for Marlene and Denzel. But he couldn't. Whenever he thought about moving on, he felt as if he were betraying Aerith. He wasn't stupid. He knew how he had felt about her. When he was at the bar, something just wasn't right. His mind was always focussed on something else. It was always on Aerith.

He had thought that after his memories had been restored that his loving feelings towards her would fade. He had believed his feelings had just gotten mixed with Zack's when he had taken his memories. But it turned out he was wrong. Now, more than ever, he longed for her. He needed her.

He often came to her Church to find himself. He felt safe there, as if she was watching over him. He felt as if he was closer to her this way. It felt nice. He was comforted even through the pains of Geostigma. It felt like home.
