Aerith: I'm home, Mom.
Aerith: This is Cloud. My bodyguard.
Ellie (concerned): Bodyguard? You were followed again!?
Ellie: Are you all right!? You're not hurt, are you!?
Aerith: I'm all right. I had Cloud with me.
Ellie (bows): Thank you, Cloud.
Aerith: So what are you going to do now?
Cloud: ...Is Sector 7 far from here? I want to go to Tifa's bar.
Aerith: Is Tifa... a girl?
Cloud: Yeah.
Aerith: A girl... friend?
Cloud: Girlfriend?
* No way!
Cloud shakes his head.
Aerith (laughs): Hee hee hee...
Aerith: You don't have to get THAT upset...
* Yeah, that's right.
Aerith: Oh, how nice.
Aerith: Well, that's... nice.
Aerith: Let's see, Sector 7? I'll show you the way.
Cloud: You gotta be kidding. Why do you want to put yourself in danger again?
Aerith: I'm used to it.
Cloud: Used to it!?
Cloud: Well, I don't know... getting help from a girl...
Aerith: A girl!! What do you mean by that!?
Aerith: You expect me to just sit by quietly after hearing you say something like that!?
Aerith: Mom! I'm taking Cloud to Sector 7. I'll be back in a while.
Ellie returns.
Ellie: But dear... I give up. You never listen once you've made up your mind.
Ellie: But if you must go, why don't you go tomorrow? It's getting late now.
Aerith: Yeah, you're right, Mom.
Ellie: Aerith, please go make the bed.
Aerith leaves.
* Ellie: That glow in your eyes... you're from SOLDIER, right?
Cloud: Yeah. Or, I used to be...
Ellie: ...I don't know how to say this, but... could you please leave here tonight, without telling Aerith?
* Ellie: SOLDIER... the last thing Aerith needs is to get hurt again.
Upstairs
Aerith: You need to go through Sector 6 to get to Sector 7. Sector 6 is a little dangerous so you'd better get some rest tonight.
Cloud goes to his room.
Aerith: Cloud...
Aerith: Good night.
Aerith goes downstairs.
Cloud: Oh, man...
Blackness.
...seem pretty tired...
Cloud: ...!?
I haven't slept in a bed like this... for a long time.
Cloud: Oh, yeah.
Ever since then.
A room (later turns out to be in Nibelheim)
My, how you've grown. I'll bet the girls never leave you alone.
Cloud: ...Not really.
...I'm worried about you. There are a lot of temptations in the city...
I'd feel a lot better if you just settled down with a nice girlfriend.
Cloud: ...I'm all right.
You should have...
an older girlfriend, one that'll take care of you. I think that would be best for you.
Cloud: I'm not interested.
Aerith's house
Cloud awakens.
Cloud: ...I must've fallen asleep.
Cloud: Sector 7's just past Sector 6... I should be all right by myself...
* Run, or open Aerith's door
Aerith: Cloud! I thought the Turks came back! Get some rest!
Cloud wakes up again.
Cloud: Can't get caught this time...
Downstairs
* Try to go up
Cloud: I think I can take care of it.
Outside
* Try to re-enter
Cloud: Through Sector 6 to get to Sector 7. I should be able to do it alone...
