Tifa would be lying if she said that hearing that didn't pain her. She'd be lying if she said it didn't make her a little frustrated, even angry, that the idea that she would be tired of him or that she would have been better off without him ever crossed his mind. She doesn't realize how much she's frowning or how intense her gaze is until she remembers to breathe, and tries to go to him...
......
Only to remember that there's a cat and a wolf in the way of her going to him. Showing him that isn't the case.
She has no choice but to shrink back away from him and hold Clover close instead... although the cat seems to sense that something is wrong and stretches so that she can rub her face against Tifa's chin, purring all the while. It helps, but it does very little to make that feeling go away.]
That hurts...
[Her voice is as small as she looks now, like she's been kicked down.]
I know it isn't easy... all of this? But... [Suddenly, it becomes harder to form words.] Don't I know better than anyone what's best for me? Don't I get a say in that?
