# 7 Years Ago. At the water, he declared "I will become a SOLDIER" to Tifa. He promised to rescue her in a pinch before he left the village.
# Before leaving the village, he boldly called to Tifa, a girl he liked romantically,*** and declared he would become a SOLDIER.
# He recalls the promise with Tifa, and consents to cooperate with future strategies (or something like that idk.)
# While simultaneously approaching Cloud with love, she is concerned about his inconsistent speech and conduct, but doesn't say anything. (this one I'm really not sure of but it does say something about romantic love so...)
# Cloud is boldly called out for a date, and everything is spur of the moment. In the end, the romantic love is not conveyed. Things constantly proceed quickly; in contract with Aerith, she is unable to convey her feelings clearly because of her timidity.
Caption:
When dating Cloud, she tries to be frank and tell him her feelings, but shuts her mouth instead.
# When Tifa bears serious injuries, Cloud rushed to rescue her just like he promised 7 years ago at the Water Tower. When Tifa learns this truth, her voice sounds deeply moved.
Deep inside Cloud's heart, feelings were hidden that no one knew about. Even though there were important memories to himself, many of them were forgotten. In the process of looking for the real Cloud, Tifa learns a lesson about the complexity of the human heart, and the feelings are earnestly transmitted.
Feelings that no one could know, gee what could that be Cloud?
# Tifa, Cloud's childhood friend, and memories of his childhood that were forgotten become the key to proving a man named Cloud existed.
# Cloud hated his own weakness and not being able to do anything. He knew Sephiroth, and he longed for that strength, to become stronger so even Tifa would notice him.
*** I showed this one to Hito and he told me it was a phrase used for when you like someone romantically so (also Tres suggested childhood love for this one)
and here's one I'm not so sure of:
# Still, at this time, a promise is exchanged. Cloud becomes, above all, a special existence to her and gradually makes up a large position.
I'm having someone else look at this one. I'm certain of the special existence part but I wasn't sure how to word everything.
