[Tifa still hasn't had much of a chance to look around the Shibumenosaki Underground Academy, between trying to get Strife's Bites and helping Aerith's flower business off the ground, and trying to get people their memories back, it's left very little room for exploration. A shame, because it's her favourite part about being here. Learning about new places, new worlds, new foods, and everything in between, it's been one of the few highlights of being here when she isn't thinking of how to fight their way home.

Of course, when she's made the decision to wander the underground mall, it's with Cloud. "Come on, it'll be a good break. Stretch the legs and all!" she had said to him like it were any other lesson. So, here they are, at the capsule machines with a few gems in each of their hands.

Before she plunks one of hers into a machine, she wonders aloud:]

What do you think we can win from one of these? Cute little figurines we can maybe decorate the sushi stand with?

zack. 🌠

[Besides Strife's Bites down in Wall Market, the Lemon Cello Church has become one of Tifa's favourite hangout spots. With Aerith trying to start up her business and Cloud helping out too, she finds herself gravitating towards it more and more. It just so happens that... so does Zack!

She's in the middle of cleaning up the outside, picking out any weeds, trimming trees, and organizing loose stones and bricks that have fallen loose from the structure itself when she spots Zack near the door.]

Hey! [Tifa calls out to him from where she is near the corner of the church, bent over and in the middle of yanking—or trying to pull—out a particularly troublesome weed.] Help a girl out? Think you can bring me that garbage bag over there?

[There's a lumpy plastic bag between them that she left when she this weed caught her attention rustling in the wind, and she's put too much work into trying to free it from the dirt that she doesn't want to move her feet from where they're planted firmly in the dirt.]
