And so Tifa's actual story starts in earnest. Have a guess at who she's talking to...
Disclaimer: SquareEnix own the recognisable bits.
Tifa.
Limbo: an intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place; a place or state of imprisonment or confinement.
"Am I dead?"
"Nope."
"So I'm… alive?"
"Not exactly."
"Well… either I'm dead or I'm not."
"… well let's just say there's a third option and you're that."
"A third option?"
"… I guess you could say you're in limbo."
"In limbo?"
"Yep. You're not dead, but you're not alive."
"… I don't think I get it."
"… come on Tifa, it's not that hard."
"Why am I not dead?"
"… because you haven't let go."
"Let go of what?"
"All of us here… we're still here because we haven't forgotten."
"Forgotten what?"
"Who we are, who we were. All of us have something we're holding on to."
"… something…?"
"Or someone."
