I...will be, I swear. It's just happened a lot, and it hurts at least a little every time. On the other hand, if you're still looking for a place, I have an open bedroom. [She offers up a weak but genuine smile.]
I'll be okay Hope, I promise. I can't make a big deal every time he comes and goes right? It's not fair to everyone else. Just hurts a little at the beginning.
...you're pretty smart, you know that? [She smiles a little, shifting around in her blanket.] I just don't want to burden everyone else every time I get lonely you know? It's not fair, and it's not like people here don't have plenty to worry about already.
It's okay, really. I'll be okay, I need to not make a huge deal about this every time it happens. Cloud's very special, he's got a destiny...so even the Core can't hold him right? [She offers up a weak smile, it's genuine, but still doesn't go quite all the way to her eyes.]
It does hurt...but I can't let it keep getting to me. There's too much to do here, too much important to just go to pieces. [Besides, that's standard operating procedure for Tifa. Throw up the facade and power through until it doesn't hurt so bad.]
This is the fourth time Cloud's come to Siren's Port and gone again. I'm almost certain I'll see him again, but I can't keep going to pieces every time he goes home right?
No, nothing like that. But Cloud's important to Gaia, to our planet at home. With how often he arrives and then leaves again so fast, I wonder if she's pulling him back.

I-- I think it's okay if you want to make a big deal out of it.
