The side quest was positive and nice, and wholesome as a whole, but Cloud still seemed a bit put out to me, somewhat bothered by Tifa saying/ thinking that, and Tifa going guess we still aren't that close that late in the game had me a bit wait what, but I agree at least it ended on a positive note, and of course I just love the quest as a whole because cats
I still haven't done a lot of these quests myself yet these are just my remembering from friend's stream but I'm really looking forward to the cats. I'm saved just before the second boss in Gongaga reactor. Again I do see things differently as Aerith and Tifa seemed a bit put out by Cloud calling Zack a loser, saying to forget him, and started to say that man is dead, that ended on tragic note, but to me Cloud came across a bit salty at first over Zack getting called charming etc, if he was just curious he had a funny way of showing it. I don't think it's too much of a stretch because of the Ultimania saying Cloud might have complicated feelings at the thought of Aerith being on a date with another.
