[Her voice is quiet, and Tifa mirrors Aerith's motions with her own sip of her cocoa. She appreciates these beats of silence—they give her some time to mull over her thoughts on the matter, and to form the right questions. She doesn't want to be upset about it, or even appear to be, but it's been hard, and it only gets more difficult by the day. Tifa tells herself not to dwell on it, but... Cloud is still Cloud, and there's no one and nothing in any world that could replace him.
It's not easy to simply set it all aside after all these years.]
I guess we've all changed a little after being here, huh? Lots of things have changed.

[There's a ghost of a smile in her eyes as she watches the froth over her cocoa bubble and steam.]
Not that it's a bad thing. A lot's happened since I got here that I don't know if you know...
