The hallway here was devoid of any sign of Tifa. Hopefully they'd be able to find her in her room; with the number of questions he had ringing in his head, Cloud didn't want to ask Zack all of them-- as close as the subject of Aerith was to his own heart, he knew it was the same for his best friend. Closer, even, if in a different way-- they'd been in love, after all.
He wondered if all of them had gotten a chance to speak together before he'd lost his memories of being here. If he'd managed to ask her all the things that had plagued his thoughts ever since she'd... gone. If she'd forgiven-- no, he couldn't ask something like that right now, and besides, if he'd spoken with Aerith on her own, she'd be the one to know that.
Best to start with something practical. He turned to Zack after a few moments of silence. "Did... did we find her that time? Was she all right?"
Zack had been hoping that his explanation, along with the fact that he hadn't mentioned Aerith until now, would have made it clear that the flower girl was no longer here. Still, he'd apparently managed to give Cloud a shred of hope by accident, which he felt guilty for. He should have been more clear, but now he was just going to have to deliver the news and hope that his friend could handle it
