[Tifa could try carrying him back, but even she's still feeling the exhaustion from her earlier efforts with her dreamotion. She tests the waters, carefully slinging his arm around her shoulders and trying to lift, but she hardly gets up onto her knees before she feels them giving out.]
Ugh... I don't think... this is going to work...
[And suddenly, as she deflates back into the flowers, she feels helpless and defeated. The full moon offers them a brief respite, but it's not enough for them to be able to rest and recuperate before they head back, or for her to drag both of them to the temple in time for the next moon shift. Yes, she managed to pull him free from his nightmare, but now they are stuck, and what is there for Tifa to do for him...?
... Why does she keep failing him...
She opens her mouth to apologize, but a rustling in the bamboo startles the words away, and before she can do so much as balling her hands into fists to prepare to strike down whatever it is, a large black wolf unveils itself from the shadows and whines when it sees them.]
Wait, is that...?
[It looks like the mother of that pup they saved earlier.]
