No... No, it doesn't. And Cloud's been here with us for weeks now. But still. We haven't even been here for that long! [ And considering he'd been deemed a failed experiment... and had been an infantryman. Not a First. He can't see them ever bothering to clone the cadet...
None of this is making sense. Zack lets out a noise of frustration as he kicks helplessly at the snow he's shuffling through. ] I don't get it. I mean we'd have to be from different... [ He trails off at that though. Because even the very thought of it sounds nuts. But at the same time... ]
[Tifa really, really just wants to dismiss this theory. It's way too crazy, and would make everything so much more difficult. But if Sephiroth really doesn't remember anything about Nibelheim, and Cloud's memories seem to stop short, too...]
Maybe they... Maybe they took some of our memories when we came here?
They're capable of a lot of things... [ People have lost memories here before. He remembers talking to someone a month ago.. although he can't remember their name now. But he knows that happened.
But- He winces briefly, pausing. Opening his mouth to say something more. Closing it. ] ..but Cloud looked exactly like I last saw him, so I don't think that's the case here. Tifa, you said yourself that you found him at the station, but he recovered with you. Same thing here. I know that really happened.
[ The honesty's there in his words. But the frustration has yet to leave him either. He... sighs, running a hand through his hair. How'd things get so complicated all of a sudden? They were already insane before... but now this. ]
Listen. Tifa, I'm gonna talk to Kunsel about this. In the meantime, focus on making tracks. We'll get there as soon as possible, alright?
That goes for you, too, you know. We'll get there as soon as we can. Keep in touch. [ He waits a moment more to see if she has anything more to say... but not long after, he's hanging up. ]

Then what do you think it is?

[She's about to end the conversation until she realizes she doesn't recognize that name.]
Who's Kunsel?
no subject
Kain. Sorry. He didn't know who you were when you guys first spoke, so he wasn't sure he could trust you...
no subject
[She can't really blame him for being cautious.]
Don't worry about it. Be careful, okay?
