Cloud's eyebrow went up at her comment. It was difficult for someone to NOT be worried about the Calamity considering its slow and sure progression. It had become an inescapable fact of life, not to mention impending death. It was on the minds of everyone in the world, even with the conflict between the Heroes.

Her question pulled things into focus and he mulled over his own memory to think of who she might be worried about. There had been...something that happened before she closed herself off from everyone else. But he'd never heard any talk of trying to hold her responsible for it. Was there something she was hiding from him?

"I...I think so..." He didn't want to face his old friends from home. Given the sheer number of Heroes the odds were actually on his side. Even if it did come down to a faceoff there was a good chance he would simply face others from Gaia.

But there was one he was terrified of facing. One voice he had missed that could probably find a chink of doubt in his resolve. But she'd been avoiding him for about two years now. If she showed up now then it would just prove how cruel fate could be. "I'll do what I have to do in order to keep you safe."
