Well, nobody can say this place doesn't surprise 'em anymore, I guess.

If anyone needs help with clean-up and rebuilding, I'm free. If everybody pitches in I bet it won't take much time!

Just how much damage did that thing do, anyway? What do we know about what it was and why it came here?

[Private to Cloud]

Hey, Spike? Are you okay? You've been pretty quiet lately.

[Zack's hanging around outside surveying the damage and making sure everything in the house is in order :|b Anyone's free to bother him.]

She hates me, Zack. She looked so betrayed and- and disgusted.

[Cloud reaches up to run a hand through his hair and ends up gripping his bangs.] If there was one person I thought would accept me through anything, it was her. God, she must hate me now. Of course she does.

[Oh dammit, dammit. Zack reaches out to grip his shoulder, giving him a little shake.]

Tifa's great, and a kind person, but I'm sure even she has a hard time accepting some things. Considering you guys were engaged, it's no wonder she's shocked about this. But she's also upset because Rude was sent back, right? She's probably feeling pretty overwhelmed right now.

No. [Cloud shakes his head again, hard. Even with his complete loss of direction, even with having no idea as to what he should do now he knows exactly why she's upset. It was obvious.]

No, she's upset because I can love two other people and not her. I'm so stupid. I should've tried- For Denzel's sake, for hers, I should've at least tried.

[Zack's quiet for a moment, lips pursing.]

Do you regret what happened?

...I...

...I dunno.

[Don't be offended, don't be offended, it's just because of what's happened-]

I'm not. Even knowing what I know now... I'm not.

I dunno what to do.

[Cloud drops his head into his hands.] I don't-...

Cloud, you can't fix these things overnight. When I said Tifa needs time, I meant it. She needs to clear her head, figure out just what she wants for herself. You guys haven't been together for a long time - and you can't help who you love. That's just how things go sometimes.

...what should I do in the meantime, then?

Wait for her to be ready, and make sure she knows you still want to be her friend. You may not be lovers but you both still need each other.

What..what should I tell Denzel, and Simon?

I think for your own sanity you shouldn't tell them anything until you've sorted things out with Tifa.

[Cloud sighs, and then slowly leans over until he kind of rests against Zack.]

[Zack doesn't budge, letting Cloud rest there, making sure he's comfortable. After a moment he shifts to wind an arm around his shoulders.]

[Cloud's voice is mournful, kind of like Eeyore's.] I'm beginning to think I'm an unlucky charm.

[Oh don't be such a defeatist.] I don't think you're as unlucky as you believe.

Hm. [Cloud's not really moving to glomp or anything, but it's kind of obvious that he appreciates the contact.]

[Zack knows, which is why he's not going to move in any way except give Cloud's back an idle rub to try and encourage him.]

...I don't. [Cloud mumbles, closing his eyes.] I don't regret it.

[Zack gives him a little squeeze.] Okay. As long as you have that, you can handle anything.

I should probably tell Aerith what's been going on, huh.

I can talk to her about it, if you want. You have enough to worry about.

Probably for the best. The things I wanna say never come out right anyhow.

You're better at communicating in other ways.

I hope you're not thinking of something corny to say.
