[That's an understandable sentiment. Last time Cloud saw him, he did kinda stand against a whole unit of the infantry to try and save Cloud's life. At least he managed that last part. Still, it's interesting to watch Cloud like this. Not used to the kid not looking at him. Maybe he hasn't been forgiven for dying. For putting so much burden onto him. But at least from the look of his arms, his country buddy had been working out with the Buster Sword. Good. Angeal would be happy about that too.]

Geez, looks like we've got ourselves into quite the situation here, haven't we? Good thing I'm really good at stuff like this. But before I figure out if I'm helping this 'terrorist' group, I wanna know if you think it's worth it. Or if we should try doing things on our own.

[Wait... Tifa, that name sounds familiar.]

You're right, I don't know a Vincent, or those other people from that other world. But Tifa... that was your childhood friend, right? From back home? Yeah, I'd love to see her. And your other friends. You never had enough in Midgar. I'm glad you're making new buddies here. And any friends of yours are totally friends of mine.
