[A soft if tired sigh as he leans his head against hers as he closes his eyes.]
...I'm glad we were able to save it...
[This special warm place in his heart. There are other pockets here and there, but... This was part of the place from before...from the dream when she entered of his past. The field beyond the closed window, the one he had been afraid to open. It had grown and developed into its own special place, not many frozen places left in his heart that's now become so full of warmth and love. Not just for her, but for all the friends and allies he's made as well.
It's a shame Gran, Lyria, Vyrn, and the others aren't around... He wishes a little that he could show them, show them how much he's changed and grown since that ordeal with the moon, and show them this special, beautiful person who managed to capture and melt his heart like this. It all just seems so long ago now...
But that is why this place is so special to him, and probably why it has become a prime target for his nightmares. As much as Tifa gives him strength, it's hard to deny she is his greatest weakness as well. But he needs just to build around it and protect it while drawing on it, too. Things he's said to her and others, yet not following his own words... Hah.
He knows it will happen again. He can still feel the nightmare that dwells with him, and likely will never go away. But perhaps next time he really will be more prepared.
With his arms wrapped around her waist, Eustace finds her lips and whispers softly against them.]
I love you, Tifa. Thank you... For loving me and being here. [A sweet kiss.] For always saving me.
