Idk if you've ever watched the OC but it was very reminiscent of a talk Seth/Summer have where she asks if she was ever mean to him, he says no bc that would've required her to speak to him or for anyone to speak to him bc before his adopted brother came into his life he was an outcast in their town and used sarcasm and his intelligence to shield himself from the loneliness of being excluded. But like Cloud, a lot of it was self-inflicted as he began to choose to be alone out of spite and believing he was better than the rest of them, aside from Summer, the girl he'd liked since he was a little boy.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
And this talk happens after Summer/Seth become an official couple and have been together for a while. They're in love, but there's still things to unpack/talk about. So, I quite liked that CT scene in Rebirth cause it reminded me of that.
Also, it was an important callback to ToTP too. Tifa always tried to get Cloud to hang out with them. She never excluded him but he never showed up, so of course she believed he preferred his own company--anyone would. It's either you believe that or believe that he hates you lol which I think Tifa did kind of think he must not like her and the other kids as well, only to be surprised by him inviting her out to the water tower in the end.
