[The screen comes to life, and Tifa looks a bit worried. She remembers the bar, and that's where she remembers being last. She's more worried about the kids and the others than herself at the moment.]

Marlene? Denzel? Are you there?

[She turns quickly. She's looking around for anything... anyone.]

Cloud? Anyone?

Denzel left, you just missed him.

[heavenlyfinale]

Oh.

[She's glad that he isn't here, but that just means he's back at home with Marlene. And no adults.]

How long ago did he leave?

[shines_bright]

A few weeks ago. He was in my care before he left.

[heavenlyfinale]

Thank you... for taking care of him. I'm sorry if he was any hassle.

[since "welcome back" isn't exactly appropriate for multiple reasons-]

Was wonderin' when you'd show up.

[heavenlyfinale]

[This is Tifa happy to see you, Cid.]

It's good to see you too, Cid.

[smokesinspace]

Hangin' in there, all right?

[heavenlyfinale]

[She nods.]

I'm all right. A little confused, though... but Cloud said he'd explain more.
