It doesn't take long for Tifa to make her way to the hospital. She'd taken to more of a run than a walk, the urgency and need to see the sender of the letter she received gave speed to her legs she hadn't had before. When she arrives, she bypasses the attendants trying to stop her entering, looking with haste to see where he might be resting. There was no time for rest, not when she needed answers. Her eyes needed to see for herself if he actually was the childhood friend she'd traveled with, the man she'd gotten close to, the boy who stole her heart.
When she barges into the room, it isn't so much with a bang as it is a kick. She turns her head side to side, looking about as she paces along the line of others just coming to from their "crystal stasis". It takes a few beds for her to pass before she finally spots him, the younger face of the still yet to be experimented upon friend caught her eyes and kept her frozen in place.
Like Yuffie, Cloud looked like he'd been plucked from her memories. A younger, still untouched by the greed of ShinRa, and vibrant looking Cloud lay in the bed before her. The only thing the brunette could even muster to say, as she crosses her arms over her chest and sighs, is no short order of disappointment. She knows it isn't in his control, but that doesn't stop her from remarking on it.
"It figures. You would come back to me like this, wouldn't you?"
