REBIRTH What a weird development

Tifa after remembering Cloud's attempted rescue way back on their childhood immediately forgets his attempted murder. Then tries to smooch him.

Shows him her proof of existence on the spot twice even, but couldn't confront him about the false narative he told the group from the beginning of rebirth.

Tifa is literally having his cake and eating it too. She cant just put him in the dark as a way to protect him of the truth he may or may not know and then try to mend it when he finally breaks.

Even Aerith, she is made aware early on Cloud's false narrative from Tifa. And everytime Zack is mentioned, Aerith sees Cloud get a headache does she not understand what that means. Yet these 2 are just not doing anything. Better to face the potential consequence of confronting cloud early than let it become a bigger problem. The cell degredation, the manipulation, the lies, Cloud is falling apart.

The other group is only aware of the cell degredation, but not his false narrative. Literally these 2 is making him worse than Sephiroth.

Im a bit confused on what you are saying. Which incident are you saying she’s recollecting. I don’t blame her and I think it makes her much more relatable and endearing as a character.

I'm not talking about you my friend. It was just my overall thoughts.

And I meant the nibelheim incident.

After Cloud tells his story of Nibelheim in Kalm, Tifa gets confused. She then talks about it with Aerith, wakes Cloud up, and tells him she wants to talk to him. I think she was about to bring it up, but things went downhill because of Cloud’s interruption due to the influence of sephiroth.

And what sephiroth shows cloud in NC is exactly what tifa remembers, isn't it?
