Yeah. That big reactor up on the mountain was for the mako. The further up you went, the closer you got, everything just... died. All the trees, flowers, the grass... Gone because of them.
[Tifa's fingers curl around his arm, digging into his muscles as she tries to keep her anger at bay when she remembers that night.]
What you saw... everything that happened in that dream... that was all Shinra. Their men, their reactor. The man who gave me my scar? Who burned down the village? He was one of them. A SOLDIER, like... like Cloud.
[She wishes then, wishes so hard that she had something happier to tell him of her past. She had been happy up until that point. Tifa had a good childhood, a good relationship with her parents, and many friends, but it was everything after that that made Tifa who she is today... He deserves to know why.]
When I was taken to Midgar after that, it was hard... I was in a coma for... I don't know, a couple of weeks? By the time I woke up, I was so weak that I couldn't walk. Couldn't even stand for a long time. And I was in so much debt from the medical bills, and not a single gil to my name.
[Her voice starts to shake then, and her hands tremble under the blanket, and she doesn't realize how tightly she's holding onto him as she pauses, trying to steady herself.]
