So far no-one has guessed the identity of the speaker in Chapter 10 (Limbo) and I'm not going to reveal it either, ha! Please guessing. Zack is the person Tifa was talking to in the last chapter, congrats to those who got it right.
Just a little inner thinking...

Yuffie.
Opaque: not transparent or translucent; impenetrable to light; not allowing light to pass through; hard to understand; not clear or lucid; obscure.
Men were confusing.
All the men she knew were… opaque.
Cid for example. He was still loud and he still swore even though he'd lost the love of his life. Yet… he built gummi ships but refused to fly them.
Somewhere along the way, he'd lost his love of flying.
Then there was Cloud. Stuck somewhere between the light and the dark. Afraid to reach for the light in case it slipped from his grasp… just like Tifa had.
Always searching for and fighting Sephiroth yet never actually winning simply because, deep down inside, he was actually fighting himself.
Finally Squall… sorry, Leon. A man so tortured by his past mistakes he'd changed his name. Yet… he'd forgotten to change his personality… after all… he'd always been broody and anti-social.
So in reality he hadn't actually changed all that much.
Opaque...
It was her new favourite word and it just worked so well…
Men were opaque.
