[The sad cries break Tifa's heart, but... this is for the best. She gives Clover a small squeeze, a scratch behind her ears, and that seems to placate her some, her loud cries turning into small, sad mewls as she watches him as Tifa walks him to the door.]

I'll see you later.

[Sometime.]

Later.

[Really, why does it feel so...weird to leave? But he just mentally shakes it off and only gives them both one last glance as he bids his final farewell before walking out the door.

He came over for a reason and he's accomplished it. Now he can just return home and back to his usual life. There's nothing to feel weird about.

And when he does return home, he'll do as promised and send Tifa a simple text saying he's returned home safely so she better keep up her end of the deal in giving Aerith's address. Not that he would...do anything. Given what did happen that morning, maybe a little distance would be better, until he would later ask her to join him for an outing... But that's in the future.]
