It was the same for Tifa, of course. She hadn't seen Cloud in a long time either. So when Irvine and Selphie dropped her off in Lindblum, she hurried to the inn as fast as she could. They had so much to discuss - not least the little girl trapped somewhere in Midgar. Tifa hadn't recognised her at all. It felt profoundly odd to be addressed by name by a complete stranger.
But Cloud knew her, and one day, Tifa would know her too. Maybe even see her as a daughter. It didn't matter. She couldn't in good conscience leave someone in trouble to die.
But when she stepped into the inn and saw the back of Cloud's spiky head, all her worries left her. In that moment, she felt only joy and relief.
"Cloud!"
She rushed over to him, a big smile on her face, wanting to be swept into his arms once again.
