I'm not super clear on CoL's koibito.
Aerith calls Cloud her koibito but when she said it, does she know Cloud any better than when she died? We know that in Maiden Aerith "meets" the real Cloud, but does Nojima's novella tell us whether Aerith ever got her head right where Zack and Cloud are concerned?
I think someone had posted about that in this thread a while ago, but how did Aerith find out about Cloud? I guess she could still love him without knowing him, but the thought of her still loving ZaCloud doesn't seem like something Cleriths should be happy about.
There's the part in CoLW 1, where Aerith uses the word koibito to describe what Cloud is to her. And it's later, in Part 11 that she absorbs people she's known, with their memories. Zack was one of them, and she absorbs his memories.
Would Aerith have had any other way of knowing the real Cloud outside of learning something about the mix-up from Zack? And what would she get from that, if it would work that way?
Sorry, you guys. I know this post is a little bit ramble, I just thought that it'd be worth looking at.
What do you guys think about it?
EDIT - May be overthinking, huh? x_x
