[She is such a hypocrite, isn't she? Tifa doesn't respond for a long moment, then lets out another breath.]

Do you remember when I told you I was part of an anti-ShinRa group? We planted bombs in the mako reactors around the city and... set them off. A lot of people died. I knew a lot of people were going to die, and I did it anyway.

[She hasn't talked to anyone about this until now. Not here, at least. Her voice sounds oddly clipped, like she's forcing the words out.]

So I guess I don't have much room to judge either of you, even if I don't like it.

[devoutish]

You aren't Watson. I don't feel judged by you.

[powersouls]

[She was expecting immediate judgment from him, honestly, so when it doesn't come, she flounders a bit.]

Well. Good.

[That's... something? She doesn't really know how she feels right now.]

[devoutish]

But you do feel guilt for it, yeah?

[He continues in that same tone as before - it's almost gentle, and not mockingly so.]

And I do not.

[He feels guilt for not being there with Royce. If Royce hadn't been alone when he'd gone up against House, he wouldn't have come away from the encounter with a concussion and broken fingers.]

[powersouls]

Yes.

[She does feel guilty for that, but she wouldn't feel guilty for killing Sephiroth, or Rufus, or Scarlet or Hojo or the Turks. She doesn't feel guilty for killing any of the members of SOLDIER she's faced. She wonders where that leaves her. Suddenly she just feels... tired.]

House is horrible. I don't even know if this will get him to stop messing with Duster.

[devoutish]

The man has some very big problems, yeah? Clearly. Problems that I do not care much about, but a healthy man wouldn't act the way he does.

[Alfie wonders if he was like this before Norfinbury, or if his experiences in the town twisted him - made him angry, bitter, desperate.]

Stopping a long time ago would have been the normal, sensible reaction. But he isn't normal or sensible at all.

[powersouls]

You're right. He's not.

[Another sigh!]

I'll take care of Duster, and I'll let you know how he's doing.

[devoutish]

Yeah.

Think about what I said. And know that I said it because I do care for you.

[powersouls]

[Oh, Alfie.]

I care about you, too. Both of you.

[Which is why she's not going anywhere.]

Stay safe, okay?

[devoutish]

[He sighs. Very heavily.]

I'm gonna keep pushing on towards the tunnel.

[powersouls]

Okay. We'll try to catch up. I'll let you know what Duster and Cloud say.

[devoutish]

Yeah. Thanks.
