[ Mitsuru hasn't had many either, but each of those friendships has proven to be deeply meaningful without exception.
[ All of those relationships had built up slowly, though. Ever since she was a child, Mitsuru's life revolved around the twin responsibilities of bringing about the end of the Dark Hour, and preparing to assume control of the Kirijo Group. Those goals were paramount - above and beyond all other things in her life - and as such, it took time from her to grow close enough to someone to go out of her way to spend time with them simply for the pleasure of their company.
[ And yet, here she was, being dragged along through an unfamiliar city by someone who was barely more than a stranger.
[ Despite herself ... there was something exciting about that. She was looking forward to exploring a bit with her newfound companion, selecting things to decorate their respective rooms, and seeing where the rest of the day would take them.
[ Mitsuru falls into step alongside Tifa as they close in on the house and home store, and when they arrive she leans in a bit, examining the furniture displayed on the other side of the glass. ]

It honestly reminds me a little bit of home.
