While she can't promise him that she knows it for sure, she does have faith that whatever happens next, they can weather it together, just like they always do, and she wishes that she could somehow instill that same faith into him as well.
But Tifa also knows that it isn't going to be easy. That these nightmares and these fears have somehow managed to root themselves so deep within him that simply reaching in and reassuring them away isn't going to work. It's going to take some work, but it's work that Tifa is willing to do. That she wants to do, if it means helping him. Still, it hurts, not knowing what the right things to say are. She wants to help, but she feels helpless...
