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.]
I appreciate it Michael, I really do. But I'll be okay, I always am. [It's nothing personal, just how she's used to being. You can't let them see you sweat, can't let them see you cry. Not when you're the den mother, it doesn't work that way.]

You're welcome. Life tends to give us what we need to survive, I've found.
