Cloud had spotted the bike, the one that Travis hadn't bothered to hide, and he knew this was it. How fortunate of them... Now they could do this properly. Cloud hadn't gone after Travis like this from the beginning because he knew how it felt to need to take time. That was the side of Cloud that understood what he could do for the fonist as she took those days to collect herself, when he told her that he was coming back and they'd all be together again. He'd gladly take that shift for her or for anyone else if it meant it helped them.

He'd gladly brave the cold by foot for Travis to find him again. Fortunately they had the power of technology on their side to make this easier. Killing the engine and letting it coast by the edge of the forest, when it came to a halt, the tires taking in the crunch of fresh-fallen snow, he set the kick stand before opening up the side compartments, pulling out one of the jagged-blunt blades that would form the First Tsurugi.

... Cloud still needed to get that fixed. Sheathing the weapon to the back of his waist as he stepped off the bike, he spared a glance back to Tear only once before nodding. He was here. They knew what they had to do.
