[Cloud isn't going to try very hard. It's pretty obvious by the way Zack's eyes drift off to the side and he falls into the habit of humming at somewhat regular intervals.
Eventually Cloud gives up on explaining things and switches to asking. On one hand he's...well, a bit in awe; this is the man that died to save his life. There's guilt there, of course, and a heavy weight settling in his stomach that he knows he's going to deal with until Zack discovers the truth, but there's also so much curiosity he's nearly bursting from it.
Zack was friends with him, right? Why else would he break Cloud out of the labs instead of just escaping himself? He must know something. Maybe they hung out, maybe he had stories of both of them. Maybe there's some evidence of him not being...quite as pathetic as he fears he was.
Plus he just wanted to learn about Zack. He must've known so many things already, if he'd confused himself with Zack before; they had to have been close.]

Hey, so uh...when did we meet?
