"Thank you. That means a lot to hear. Sometimes it's hard being here, not knowing what's actually going to happen. But I try to just think like that, that we can achieve victory no matter what." A smile tugged at the corners of her lips, though there was more sadness in it than one might expect with the sentiment. At least it was a rare moment of her being completely honest about something. Despite how hard she tried to be cheerful and bright for everyone here, she had plenty of moments where she wondered what would happen back home. What would the repercussions from the Planet be for what they'd done? As she'd left Midgar she'd felt...something. Something strange and yet familiar at the same time, something shifting, something she rarely let herself think about. There would be ripples, she felt certain of that much. Then there were worries about if they'd actually find him in time to stop him.
Or if they even could stop him at all with the power he had now. That he, that big bad that she knew could destroy everything if he was left with the chance. She worried about Cloud too, about if he'd be okay, if he'd figure things out, and what would happen when all that came crashing down. To top it all off, her heart still ached for Zack, that lost love that she'd felt glimmers of for just a second as everything came crashing down. What had that been? There were too many questions. Too many uncertainties, and too many things that kept her up when she was alone.
So, instead she just told herself that with everything she'd done here, with everything she'd seen Cloud do here, and with everything they'd done back home, they'd be able to do it. They'd make everything right. Better. They had to and she had to think that. Besides, if she let herself get bogged down by negative thoughts too much her mind might wander to other what ifs and heartaches, other confusions, things that she'd rather just brush off with a laugh or a smile.
"Partially serious at least. They do mostly look like that. But maaaybe I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a complete expert."
