"Not quite... what I expected." "Really? I think it's fine."
"Twenty... three?" "Write them down, so I don't forget."
[These would be things Tifa would say to Aerith, without a doubt, but she can't ever recall a time where she had. More than that, Aerith looks... different. Younger than the one that she knows here and now. She looks lighter and happier, with less weight on her shoulders while she deliberates a newly built flower cart that they... built...?
No, this is another one of those lost memories, and while this one is a little harder to pick out, there are only three possibilities, and one of them wouldn't make any sense, so Sephiroth is out. That leaves Cloud and Zack as the only people left from their world who could know Aerith and... well, Tifa isn't blind to the way that Aerith and Zack look at each other, or how the former seems just a touch happier now that he's here.
But if this is anything like her memories with Ren, the possibility that he could have gained something of hers is there. She wonders what kind that is, if any... Tifa and Zack don't exactly share her most cherished memories as it is.
So it's with some trepidation that she approaches him, finding him outside of Merlaut Apartments.]
