[Aerith can't deny that either as much as she'd like to be able to. It's almost kind of uncomfortable when she starts thinking about it in that light. She doesn't expect everything to be predictable, but to come from a situation where she's felt like she had a little more insight as to what's been going on to go into a different one where it's like every day's an adventure...

No, no. You shouldn't apologise. You're asking questions I've been asking myself for quite a while. I haven't really been able to find the answers, so it just leaves me thinking about it a lot and not really knowing what to make out of any of it.

I think... that it's a little scary when we start travelling toward something that's unfamiliar. Things aren't what we're used to. Part of me is excited. Thrilled. There's also parts of me that are nervous and afraid. I don't always wear any of that on the outside, but I think about it all the time. Every day, I'm pretty sure. That aside—
[Aerith lifts her eyebrows curiously.]
I probably don't know. I try not to pry too much into whatever you've got going on. We're friends and I want to protect you, but I also don't want to be overbearing. I've always thought if there was something you really needed to get off your chest, you'd say something. Or... you just needed time to say it. I'm not so different from that either.
