[She saw her go. She saw Marlene disappear. But Tifa's very good at going into denial when she wants to, which is why she's spent the last half hour searching the house, the streets, asking the neighbours... And then she returned to find this note ( Read more... )

[Yes, Aerith is very worried now, too.]

I haven't seen her, Tifa.

No. [She says it like it's inevitable... Of course Aerith hasn't seen her. None of them have... Tifa knows what this means. But she can't quite make herself spell it out.]

She'll come back.

[Aerith has no way of knowing if that's true, but she won't kill her friend's hope. Or her own.]

Do you want me to come over?

[She makes a soft sound.]

I'll be there soon.

[She ends the call, grabbing her little bolero jacket and slipping it on before rushing out the front door. Though she doesn't run, she's certainly walking briskly, and it isn't long before she's knocking on Tifa's front door. Thank Shiva she's had time to learn the layout of the city by now.]

[Tifa takes a little longer than usual to answer the door and when she does it's pretty obvious why. Her eyes are still puffy and red-rimmed. She manages a watery smile.]

Hi.

[Instead of answering the greeting, Aerith takes a step through the doorway, slipping her arms around her friend and pulling her into a warm hug. Only once she's there does the Cetra speak.]

...Hey.

[Tifa hugs her back tightly, letting the tears flow again. Sorry, Aerith, she might be ruining your jacket. But she needs this. It's just too much to handle alone.]

[Aerith runs a gentle hand down the length of her long dark hair, simply allowing her to cry. Words are unnecessary, and would likely only do more harm until Tifa can collect herself. The flower girl is scared too, but she needs to be strong for her friend.]

[Finally, the tears stop and she pulls back to let Aerith inside. Bleak would be the word that most accurately describes Tifa's feelings right now.]

It's never going to stop, is it?
