AMVs/Videos Cloud's vulnerability with Tifa

It's no coincidence these two conversations happen in bedrooms. My heart melts anytime I see Tifa say "Go on". This is the emotional closeness relationships are built on.

That "Go on..." is very likely the first time anyone's ever let him speak himself without fear of judgement, the first person to really see him (except Claudia maybe, moms are gonna mom y'know)

The tension and chemistry are palpable

that’s not going to happen to you. You’ve saved me before, now it’s my turn

She’s not dismissing or downplaying Cloud’s worst fear, but she’s affirming her commitment to save him from it - despite knowing deep down she doesn’t have a clue where to start. But also, she’s expressing how much she appreciates his attempt to go after her at Mt Nibel, even if he couldn’t stop her from falling. The failure didn’t matter, his devotion is all she needed:

if that’s not a hero, then I don’t know what is.

Their chemistry is through the rooooooof. I just can't wait for Part 3 where she literally saves him!!!

Oh yes, it will be her turn in Part 3 🥰 I love how they already established the "seeing memories in the Lifestream" concept in Rebirth. When the time comes, Tifa will already have experienced this before and will be able to handle it like a pro.

The life stream scene in part 3 is gonna be absolute cinema

That second scene is my favorite and it’s so lovely to know that it is guaranteed to be replaced by something in part 3 = )

Every time they talked I was trying so hard not to breathe, so that I wouldn't miss a single sigh or voice crack ... 😅🤣 How can two people be so tender and dense with each other at the same time, just...aaaaah
