Aerith sits with Cloud.
Aerith: Ha, ha... They're looking for me again.
Cloud: You mean it's not the first time they've been after you?
Aerith: ...no.
Cloud: They're the Turks.
Aerith: Hmm...
Cloud: The Turks are a Shinra organisation. They scout for possible candidates for SOLDIER.
Aerith: This violently? I thought they were kidnapping someone.
Cloud (shakes): They're also involved in a lot of dirty stuff on the side. Spying, murder... you know.
Aerith: They look like it.
Cloud: But, why're they after you? There must be a reason, right?
Aerith: No, not really. I think they believe I have what it takes to be in SOLDIER!
Cloud: Maybe you do. You want to join?
Aerith: I don't know... But I don't want to get caught by THOSE people.
Cloud: Then, let's go!
They climb over some roofing.
Rooftops
* Try to return
Cloud shakes his head.
* Get halfway across
Aerith: Wait... Wait, I said!
Aerith, with difficulty, catches up.
Aerith: Puff... ...wheeze... (She catches her breath.) Slow... down... Don't leave me...
Cloud: Funny... I thought you were cut out to be in SOLDIER.
Aerith: Oh! You're terrible!
Aerith: Hey... Cloud. Were you... ever in SOLDIER?
Cloud: ... ...I used to be. How did you guess?
Aerith: ...Your eyes. They have a strange glow...
Cloud: That's the sign of those who have been infused with Mako... A mark of SOLDIER. But, how did you know about that?
Aerith: ...Oh, nothing.
Cloud: Nothing?
Aerith: Right, nothing!
Aerith: Come on, let's go! Bodyguard!
* Aerith: Come on, let's go! Bodyguard!
Sector 5 crossroads
Cloud jumps onto the floor. Aerith follows, again with difficulty.
Aerith: Whew! Finally made it off! Now what?
Aerith looks toward the church, then runs the other way.
Aerith: My house is over here. Hurry before they come.
Church
Um, we're, um taking care of the um, flowers for the um, lady here.
...is that OK?
* I don't mind
Cloud: Take good care of them.
Yeah!
Sure!
* No
...
* Boy: They're purrty!
* Girl: I'm gonna water them later...
Crossroads
* Bloke on the left: Aaaaah... what a drag. You wanna go to that store in Sector 6 again?
* Right: Huh? Who the hell're you? Who do ya think you're talkin' to!?
Sector 5
* Woman: What am I doing? I'm walking around looking at the ground. You find a lot of things people dropped when you look down. You never find them when you're looking up. Right?
* Hat man: You ever hear of Wall Market?
* Yeah
Oh yeah? Then maybe I should have you pick something up for me next time you're there...
* Nope
It's a market in the slums of Sector 6. They've got everything you could ever want there. If you can get there, that is. The road's something else.
* Pipe man: That guy in the pipe is sick. He passed out nearby and someone must have helped him here.
* Runner: Outta the way! Move! You want something? Move into the store!
Pipe
* Man: ooh... aaah... ughhhh...
Aerith: This is the one... won't you help him?
ooh... aaah... ughhhh...
Cloud: Listen, I'm no doctor.
Aerith: No, I guess not...
Aerith investigates.
Aerith: Hey... that man has a tattoo. I think it's the number 2.
* Man: ooh... aaah... ughhhh...
Weapon shop
* Man: Taking care of yourself is the law of the slums. But to do that, first you need weapons, right?
* Kid: Toot toot! Next stop... Midgar Midgar. Any passengers getting off at Midgar should please ring. You know, Midgar's supposed to be sparkly 'n' springy 'n' sleeky. Oh yeah. Someday, I'm goin' there.
* Sleeper: Huh? You want weapons? That's too damn bad... I ain't got no weapons to sell ya! And the reason is... ...the weapon store's over that way.
Materia shop
* Keep: I don't care if it's scrap metal or Materia. We can get anything here in the slums. Got a lot of good Materia here. Why don't you look it over?
* Freezer: Hey! Hey, didn't your mother ever teach you not to barge into houses and open people's freezers?
Item shop
* Keep: Hmm, ... ...hmph... we only trade items for gil here.
House
* Man: Hmph......! Everything President Shinra says is a lie. But you can't trust that AVALANCHE, or whatever you call them. You can bat it around all you like, but it all comes down to wanting to live like the people up there. So who do I believe in? Myself! Me! I never lie to myself, that's for sure!
* Man: I believe only what I say. Because I never lie to myself.
* Telly: And now for the news. A terrorist attack by the group called AVALANCHE has parts of Midgar temporarily out of power, but they will be restored momentarily. Following President Shinra's address, Mayor Domino also spoke out today against AVALANCHE.
* Drawers
Cloud: ... ... ... ...
* Open the top drawer
Cloud: Empty... ... .
* Open the bottom drawer
Cloud: Empty... ... .
* Kid: glug... glug... Now... no one... will find it... num... Top drawer... and the bottom one...

Cloud: ... ... ... ... . ... ... . huh?
* Open the top drawer
Cloud: Empty... ... .
* Open the bottom drawer

Cloud: ... ... .? 5 gil
