Actually seeing Aerith in the flesh overwhelmed Tifa more than she had expected.
"Aerith..."
She couldn't quite tell what she was feeling. Joy and relief, yes, and that strange feeling of seeing a ghost which she'd had with Zack - only intensified, because while in life Zack had been a single memory for Tifa, Aerith had once been her closest friend.
Dropping Cloud's hand, she rushed towards Aerith, but stopped just short of hugging her. Tifa hesitated for a moment, unsure how Aerith would react. She wanted to reassure herself that her friend was real and solid and there. Not a ghost from the Lifestream.
"You look just the same," said Tifa, and then immediately felt stupid for stating the obvious.
