What? Of course he likes you.

He doesn't talk to me for WEEKS, and he's never the one to start it if we do talk. I think the guy tolerates me at best.

Zack.…

[ You’re kinda dumb sometimes. ]

Cloud had a lot happen to him after you died. I think he feels a lot of different things, but he definitely doesn’t hate you. I’m sure of that.

I said didn't like! Not hate! Even I know that's too harsh. And I know he doesn't remember me. But I think I remind him of the other stuff he doesn't remember, and he doesn't want to. I can't blame him for that, I don't want to either.

I can't pretend I don't see it, though. He's not subtle.

It’s a lot more complicated than that, Zack, but I don’t think I’m the one who should tell you all about it.

You're right. I need to ask the guy who... won't talk to me.

[He's trying and failing to not sulk about it. He wants to talk! He wants to know! It's rough, though. Being respectful about boundaries is hard.]

He’ll get there. I believe in Cloud more than almost anyone.

Almost?

[He might be chasing the lead a little on that one. He can't help it, though, he bummed himself out.]

There are a few other people I believe in too.

Hmm. Okay, I'll take it!

You're very confident, aren't you?

Of course! Who doesn't love confidence?

But it's mostly because I trust you.

Well, that's good, because I trust you as well.

Good!

As for Cloud, I'll give him a little more time, I guess.

I think that's for the best. I'll keep working on him too, though!

We can't bully him into talking to me either. Ugh, this is hard.

Is he at least talking to you?

Yup. He's been helping me with my garden too, and sometimes I can get him to use his bedroom.

[...Okay he's kind of jealous of that.]

Better than avoiding us both...

It might be easier to see me, even though I left him alone before I died. I think he blames himself for it, even now.

I had to leave him alone before I died, too.

Man... no matter how you spin it, this whole situation is rough.

None of it is ideal, but we can work on it together now.

Was there anything else you needed me to tell you? Any questions?

Yeah...

And nah, I think I got the gist for now. Too much more and my head's gonna blow. Let's focus on having fun for now, okay? Worry about the rest later.

Okay. You'll tell me if you think of anything?

You'll be the first I tell, promise.

I'm going to hold you to that!
