[Hilda instinctually pulls Tifa in closer when she flinches, a protective measure not unlike how Holst always treated her when she was younger and spooked by something. She honestly had no idea Tifa's childhood had been like this. Sure, it's probably made worse by the fact that it's a nightmare, but... there has to be some truth in it, right?

In any case, Hilda can work with that description, uncertain as it is. She knows what Tifa looks like as an adult, and can just kind of... tweak it so they aren't totally identical, right?]

She sounds really pretty. I can't wait to meet her.

[As they continue walking, she notices the forest starting to really close in on them.]

Uh... wow, there sure are a lot of trees, huh? I'm sure it's fine.
