Up-dates are going to be as quick as possible. We're nearing the end and I want it all up, before life gets in the way.

Just a reflection on the fact that Tifa's last few chapters have been pretty depressing. Oh, and I hope you figure out who she's talking to, since I don't give his name ;)

Tifa.


Trust: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence: confident expectation of something; hope.

"So… you're just going to give up?"

"…"

"Just because Cloud's gone, you think its ok to give up?"

"…"

"Tifa!"

"…what am I supposed to do without Cloud?"

"I don't know."

"He was the only person who could see me, who knew I existed."

"…is that a fact?"

"…?"

"Is Cloud really the only person?"

"Yes! He's the only one who was ever able to see me, the only one I was connected to!"

"You should listen to yourself! Cloud this, Cloud that!"

"What is your problem?!"

"You act like Cloud is your only friend. As if, of all the people, in all the worlds, he's the only one who ever cared about you."

"…"

"Are you telling me that you didn't have any other friends?"

"…no, I… I did… I did have friends…"

"Then maybe you should think about them occasionally."

"…I'm sorry…"

"You know, I can't even remember my own name. How can I believe that there's anyone out there who remembers me, if I can't remember myself?"

"I… hadn't thought of that… I'm sorry."

"yeah well, just… don't give up. It really…annoys me. You've still got a chance."

"I… I just don't see how, when Cloud is gone."

"Did it really never occur to you?"

"What?"

"That the reason you didn't disappear when you gave your light to Cloud… is because there are other people out there, your friends, waiting for you… hoping you'll come back."
