Cloud knew that gesture. The one where kept her feelings locked inside. But without pressing her, he waited patiently. It was the most reasonable thing to do if he was to find the answers he seeked. How would he proceed with Tifa? What could he tell her? What couldn't he tell her? Needless to say, anything that he thought of and how to handle it wouldn't have prepared him for the story that she told him. And yet somehow...he couldn't bring himself to calling her a liar either. They were all names that he wasn't familiar with, along with the idea of the Warriors of Chaos. Were they...evil? Was he one of them in her world?

Unfortunately for Tifa, he could only assume that she was from an alternate reality. Which...wasn't so far from the truth, but her memories were close enough. Absorbing this information in, the blond felt it best to just give it to her straight.

"I don't remember any of that. I've never fought in a war like that."
