[For someone else, perhaps, but not to someone who's bathed in mako. There's a reason they call them super soldiers... Which is a whole other thing that Tifa takes issue with.]

She does, just not the same way.

[Now that she thinks on it, Tifa isn't sure whether or not Aerith's rod had come to this world with her. She hasn't seen it as far as she can remember, but a lot has happened since they arrived here together.]

Aerith's better with magic, same way Cloud's good with his sword. She can do all kinds of things that we can't, but unless someone figures out how to get our materia working again, then I don't think she can use it.

[There's a beat where Tifa waggles her finger.]

But don't think that means Aerith can't hold her own. Should've seen her when we were taking down Corneo's men. Smacked one of them over the head with a chair!
