[Cloud is stood out somewhere rather secluded, surrounded by snow. He sighs softly, his gaze falling.]

Tifa... I... [He pauses for a long moment, his gaze finding the screen for a brief second before he averts it again.]

I'm going to pick up Fenrir, then I promised Marlene I'd come home. I... I don't know what I'm supposed to say...

I know why you're mad at me, but I don't think you understand me... [He frowns and looks at the screen with shimmering blue eyes that could melt even the coldest heart.]

I'll be home soon. We should talk instead of shout...

[He cuts the transmission quickly.]

[Tifa is in their house in Lindblum. She looks calm, though Cloud may be able to detect the slight strain of worry in her eyes.]

You don't have to say anything yet, Cloud. You're right, we need to talk... It can wait until you get back.
