"Night of the Gold Saucer🌙"
P1
Oh...Vincent, why are you here?
I thought, since it's Tifa, you might be upset about what happened earlier.
I didn't think you were really here.
Am I that obvious?
Yes, you are.
I said some terrible things to Nanaki, and I just thought I owed you an apology.
That certainly wasn't like Tifa.
P2
Nanaki is still young, only 15 or 16 years old in human terms.
And if she was experimented on by Houjou, it's understandable that he feels insecure about himself.
That's right.
But he's not the type to hold on to his feelings, so I'm sure if he apologized, that would be the end of it.
Don't worry too much.
…Thanks.
P3
For that matter, is Tifa worried about something too?
Huh?
'You're not the only one who's anxious,' you said.
I'm not forcing you to, but if you can get it out, you should get it out, right?
I don't know what's going on.
Her expression as she looks at Cloud is sometimes clouded with anxiety
I wasn't sure if I should ask her out, but I couldn't bear to see her like that.
P4
I don't know what to do...
Vincent is perceptive, he may have noticed that I have doubts about Cloud.
Cloud is the man I know.
Cloud may not be the Cloud of Nibbleheim that I know.
It's been nagging at me ever since I heard about Cloud in Calm.
Then I'll just say it...
P5
You know...
Don't tell anyone!
If I tell anyone, Cloud will go away.
Don't do that! Don't do that!
I can't say it.
I'm scared... ‼️
You know, actually, I....
P6
So I lied quickly.
I've always been afraid of places like Shinra House and this hotel, and I'm not good at them.
So, I said...
Wait!
No woman would take it out on me because she's afraid of a hotel!
I think I'm crazy.
No, I understand the situation.
It sounds like this place is a pain in the ass for you.
Well, then.
P7
Would you like to go outside with me?
Huh?
It was an unexpected invitation from an unexpected person.
Hey, where do you want to go, Vincent?
Tifa can decide.
Where should we go...
Okay, then.
P8
Speed Square.
Yeah!
I'd like to see how the ex-Turks do. How's that?
I'm in.
Vincent's skill is still amazing...!
He easily surpassed the score that Cloud had achieved after many attempts.
P9
Your score, you're ranked!
...thanks.
If I try again, though, I might be able to get a little higher score.
Really⁉️
The show will be starting soon at Event Square!
Come on in if you want!
Wow, I didn't know there was such a thing.
Wanna go?
What? But...don't you have to do it again?
P10
I don't have to do it because I'd rather Tifa have fun.
(Eh...
Why not?)
(Announcement)
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience!
From now on, the show by the 100th couple of the day will begin!
What kind of people are they?
I don't know.
P11
Cloud?!
It's a cloud, isn't it?
The announcer said they were a couple. Well, let's see who they're with...
P12
-I didn't think Yuffie was Cloud's partner.
But they were both cute.
...Sorry Yuffie, but I agree with you.
P13
(...and I was surprised.
Because I've never seen Yuffie with such a cute face and Cloud with such an expression.
--- Oh, I'm so sneaky.
I know I'm hiding my feelings, but when I think of those two guys earlier, my heart is getting slower and slower.
I feel like I'm being swallowed up...)
P14
-Tifa.
Sorry, I was spaced out.
No, it doesn't matter.
How about a gondola ride at the end?
Great, let's do it!
(Vincent walked me by the hand to Round Square...)
P15
(Beautiful view...)
-I'm sorry.
Eh?
You like the cloud, don't you? The show earlier must have been a shock.
(Vincent knows!)
Oh no! It's not Vincent's fault.
It's a little complicated to be honest.
P16
I knew I couldn't hide anything from you.
...Actually, you know what?
(With that, Tifa began to speak in a squeezed voice.
that there are places where her memories and Cloud's memories do not match up.
She was doubting whether Cloud was really the same person today as he had been when they were in the same village.)
It was so many years ago that Cloud and I were together that he may have just changed.
I...I can't have faith in Cloud.
I even made a promise to Cloud...
Cloud remembers our promises, too.
P17
But...I'm afraid to confirm it with Cloud...
I'm so pathetic...
...
One way is to boldly ask him.
But there is also the other way, which is to wait and see until you are sure.
Whatever you choose, I'll help you to make sure you don't regret it.
So you don't have to cry anymore.
Don't cry.
P18
(Wiping away her tears that spill over and over again.
I was thinking about my emotions.
-Not long into our journey, I learned that Tifa had feelings for Cloud.
But when I realized that those feelings were more complicated than just love)
P19
(For some reason, I suddenly remembered my former self who couldn't stop Lucrezia and Tifa.
Then, I began to follow Tifa's figure with my eyes.
I hope Tifa will not make the same mistake I did.
I thought I was looking at her for such a plausible reason.
But now)
P20
(I realized the joy that was born in my heart, the joy of touching her and the love I felt for her...)
Um...Vincent...
I'm okay now... well... thanks...
Um... hand...
P21
I'm sorry！
No, it's okay.
(...I went a little overboard, didn't I?)
(Announcement)
'We will be arriving shortly.
Please remain seated and wait until the gondolas have completely stopped..."
Oh, looks like it's all over.
(Announcement)
"Thank you very much for your visit."
Vincent gives Tifa a hand
P22
In the lobby of the Ghost Hotel
(I knew I'm not good at these scary places...)
Tifa was in the room on the right, right?
Well, I'd better get back to my room.
Ah! Vincent!
Wait a minute.
Why are you being so nice to me?
Tifa.
A little distraction, huh?
Eh? Of course!
P23
I feel so much better now that you've listened to me. Thank you.
I wanted to see your smile.
You're better when you smile.
Good night.
P24
Vincent...I don't know why I said that...
You'd better smile.
I'll never forget it when he said that to me with such a kind face...
Oh no...!
What was I thinking?
fin.
