Cloud: "Aerith used to smile like a flower, all the time... But, Aerith won't smile anymore. I won't be able to hear her innocent laugh again.
What did she do?"
Why did Aerith have to die?
What am I supposed to do about this anger, it's endlessly boiling and burning up my body. "
_____________________
AERITH: "I was a little surprised that this village was Zack's birthplace!
Although called my first love, that doesn't mean that we became particularly intimate. I encountered him by chance as a flower vendor in Midgar. It was good for a little while, so I thought.
A friendly, childish SOLDIER, who gave kindness to girls. I encountered Zack and began to think that even a good natured person was from Shinra.
Therefore, 5 years ago, when Zack departed somewhere on a mission and he seemingly disappeared, I cried considerably. Yeah, I call this first love. Mother got angry at Zack when she saw me like that. That matter made him completely at fault.
At first when I met Cloud, I believed he was similar to Zack. Little actions, the way he spoke... his kindness. But Cloud is Cloud. I, now undoubtedly, love Cloud much more than Zack.
But Cloud is clueless."

Cloud: "Even so, I have to fight. So, I can leave my past behind me. So I can be myself. And above all--- to unfreeze her smile."

(Tifa's pov)
6. She's happy to see Cloud come to rescue her, but was somewhat uneasy about Aerith's appearance by Cloud's side. But she admitted that she "adores her soon, no wonder Cloud would act like this..."
_____________________
27. In Gast's home, Tifa said Cloud was even more reticent after Aerith's death. She failed finding suitable words to console him, because "he didn't seem to lose Aerith only, a piece of him also seemed lost." She kept saying that she'd never forgive Hojo.

Cloud: in 8th Street
After successfully blowing up the first reactor, we decided to disperse once and run away separately so as to avoid attention. The rendezvous would be the station in 8th Street, last train for Midgar. People were confused about the news of terrorist attack, and the street was dim because of the unsteady supply of Mako energy.
Here I met a flower girl.
She’s a girl with impressive eyes. She’s around my age, or elder by one or two years. But the innocent radiance in her eyes simply makes her suddenly look younger.
Unexpectedly, I came to think of the color of my eyes. Bathed in Mako energy, they shine a pale light, and this is what labels me a SOLDIER. For me, it’s the mark of my enemy, Shinra, so I desperately want to erase it.
“Excuse me, what happened?”
She asked me the question, and then I bought a flower from her, which is rare in Midgar.
Maybe she’s pleased that the flower was sold, because the worried look on her face had vanished. If this smile costs only one gil, it is a good purchase.

Cloud: awoke from a nap
It’s quite amazing.
Previously, I met a flowergirl, Aerith, at 5th Street of the Slum, and now I was received at her place.
I seemed to fall down, from the 5th reactor to the Slum underneath. The Church’s roof and the flowers Aerith grows alleviated the impact of falling, so I survived safe and sound.
And for some reason, Shinra is keeping an eye on her.
When we were at the Church, a rascal with a strange tone came to seize her. The name is Reno, his clothes shows exactly that he belongs to the Turks, a secret troop of Shinra, which undertakes some dirty works that never go public.
Why do the Turks want to capture her?
They called her “the Ancient”…..
Well, it’s midnight already, seems about time to leave for the 7th Street.
Aerith declared that she’ll show me the way. But if I let her, it seems hard to tell who’s the bodyguard.
I’m gonna slip out of here.

Tifa: in Don's Mansion
Hummm... I was in a complicated mood today—I was happy, but somehow, I felt annoyed at the same time.
Though I need to get more information no matter what, it’s still risky to visit Don’s mansion by myself… that notorious lecher!
I knew I should have settled my determination, but I couldn’t stop my teardrops.
Cloud came to rescue me (and dressed like a girl!) when I was thinking that I might not survive this time. Therefore, I was very happy. I thought I had an illusion when I first saw him in the park.
It’s just that...I was displeased at the way Cloud and another girl soon became good friends.
Well, Aerith is a very good girl, I was fond of her soon, too. No wonder…

Cloud: in Aerith’s house
The 7th Street was ruined.
We couldn’t stop the explosion at the pillar of the Plate. Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie are gone. Though they are nice folks…
Besides, there’s a large death toll, people who believed Shinra, and those who disbelieved….
And then, Aerith was kidnapped.
In exchange with Marlene’s safety, she was taken away by the Turks.
If only she was not involved in this battle, between me and Shinra…..
Aerith’s mother told us that she’s a foster child. And because she’s the last survival of “the Ancients,” Shinra was after her since she’s little.
So far, it seemed the Turks had never tried to forcibly take her away in violent manner. They just persistently asked for her cooperation.
But, Shinra was entirely impetuous this time.
If Shinra changed the strategy all of a sudden, then no one can guarantee her safety.
I need to get in Shinra building.
I need to rescue her……by all means!

Changeable event2 (date)
The big event happening after you get the keystone. When the night falls, the character with higher rating will come to invite Cloud. The following examples are case of Aerith and case of Tifa, please also try to challenge Yuffie’s and Barret’s case.
Caption in Picture:
1. In Aerith’s case, if you play the game normally, the partner that generally comes will be Aerith.
2. In the gondola, the line “I’m searching for you” has deep meaning. (you understand, right?)
3. In Tifa’s case, her prudent personality has no luck*, because she can’t tell him the bottom line.
4. In the end, she didn’t say it, and tucked it inside her mind.

Aerith: *being excited now*
Cloud, you came!
When I arrived Shinra Building and was handed over to the man called Hojo, I couldn’t help thinking that I won’t be able to escape anymore.
I don’t know why but that man gave me the shivers.
The way he looked at me is like measuring a piece of experimental specimen….
In short, he wanted a hybrid from Red13 and….oh forget it, I don’t want to talk about it. Anyway Professor Hojo is absolutely a weirdo!
Although Red told me that “the acting was to throw Hojo off guard”, but he seemed quite serious at that moment.
He does look like a savage beast, however, he is more human than most of the mankind. Like what he tried to convey, we should cherish this Planet.
It’s just…I can also feel the excessive strain— he seems to push himself too hard.
And Cloud really is a hero!
To Tifa, and to me as well, he’ll come wherever we’re in a pinch!
Well, as for the one-date payment, I think I should make it two!
