Tifa wasn't sure what to think about Sephiroth meeting Yuffie before knowing what happened with all of them first. Yuffie, was different. She had a lot of confidence, so it didn't surprise her that she had gone up to Sephiroth by herself. Tifa herself wasn't really thinking clearly by doing just the same, but she knew how to remain calm and not get herself into any trouble. Or try not to anyways.

In a way, she was shocked Sephiroth didn't react to her touching him, though it wasn't like she was attacking him or anything. Her reaction and not thinking clearly in that moment could have ended badly, but it didn't. Whatever reasons Tifa had to believe this was the same Sephrioth she had fought were slowly vanishing and she knew that he was being truthful with her. She was still on edge, but she wasn't afraid in this moment.

Sephiroth's answer wasn't one Tifa wanted to hear. She wanted him to already know the truth, but knew in her heart he didn't. Was she to be the one who told him? They were alone, what if he reacted the same way he did in Nibelheim? She would be risking her life to tell him the truth. Would it be worth it? Could she stop him from repeating history?

Turning to face him, arms still crossed, she looked him in the eyes. "Sephiroth. Hojo is also your father." She wasn't breathing. Well, she was, but it didn't feel like she was. She waited a moment before continuing on. "A scientist named Lucrecia was pregnant with you, with his kid. While she was pregnant, they injected you with Jenova cells." She knew she shouldn't keep eye contact, but she couldn't look away. She needed anything to help her know what he was feeling, even if she wasn't certain it would work.

"Please remember that you are still your own person. Genetics aren't everything."

In all honesty, the events of just moments ago were really just a blur for Tifa. It was too far-fetched for her to really believe that she had a confrontation with Sephiroth that didn't end in battle. She wasn't going to say it didn't end terribly, because emotionally, it did. More for him, but the who thing still got to her. How could someone who had done so many terrible things just...forget? Oh that's right, he didn't forget them. He never knew those memories.

At first, Tifa thought Cloud was right. There was no way someone could do all that and then act like it never happened. Sephiroth wasn't acting, and this whole world was just screwed up! Why would some people still have horrible memories, but others didn't even know who they were? Who created this world, and why would they do that? Was death the thing that brought them there? Tifa was sure they had won that final battle, so she was sure death wasn't her option. Well, she hoped so anyways.

Arms crossed, she made her way through Provo, unsure of what to do next. Should she head back to the hospital to see how Cloud was doing? She had left in quite the hurry, so maybe that wasn't the best idea. Besides, going back there would mean telling Cloud everything, and she wasn't really sure she was prepared to tell him quite yet. Not while she was still processing it all herself. Aerith probably wasn't going to be the happiest with her either.

Looking around, she once again saw the ruined building from the fight. The fight that came from one big misunderstanding on Cloud's part. She didn't blame him though, nor did she blame Sephiroth. They had just fought him, it wasn't a surprise that Cloud still had hatred towards him. Sephiroth, well he just happened to see Cloud at the wrong moment, memories still fresh in his mind. Wrong place, wrong time. For the both of them.

It was a little chilly out, one could tell by the way Tifa was rubbing her arms. It didn't bother her though, she had dealt with far worse weather. Deciding it would probably be best to find somewhere to stay for the night, she looked around. In this new world, she couldn't really tell if there was an inn nearby. She turned to head more into the city when she collided with something, or someone, that definitely wasn't there moments ago. If she hadn't been trained like she had, she probably would have fell over. Luckily, she stood her ground. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize anyone else was out here."

Sephiroth stepped away from her, which was another sign that he wasn't going to attack her. It was quite the opposite it seemed. He was interested in what she was saying, which left her at a loss for words for a moment. This was the man who turned her life upside down, and here he was standing in front of her. It was the same man, but yet, it wasn't. She could fully admit her head was starting to hurt a little from all of this. A new world, with people taken from different parts of their old one. How was this possible?

As he asked what he had learned, she opened her mouth to speak, but instantly shut it. To be honest, she didn't really know everything, but knew enough details to hopefully explain it to him the best way she could. Before she could though, he mentioned he had seen her before. She stared at him for a moment before giving him a nod. "Yes, I was a tour guide there for a while. I was the one who took you, Zack, Cloud and one other to Mt Nibel." Of course, she didn't know it was Cloud at that point.

So, he remembered some of what happened in Nibelheim it seemed, and she could only guess that inside the reactor was where everything faded. He was then touching his forehead, in a way she recognized that Cloud had done before. Though, he didn't seem to be in pain like her blonde friend had been.

Tifa started to nod at his statement that they shouldn't talk there, but instead she was thrown a loop when she heard what he said next. Was he, being funny? Well, attempting to anyways? She gave a small, yet confused smile at that. Either he was playing this all of really well, or he was definitely telling the truth. That he wasn't the same Sephiroth she had encountered previously.

Following him, they made their way to a little park area on the outskirts of town. It seemed to be a dog park, as there were no playground equipment and quite a bit of trees and a few benches. Deciding against sitting down, she picked a spot to stand. "I guess where we left off would be a good place to start. I took you guys up to the reactor, but I wasn't allowed in, so I don't know the full details of what happened in there. I know you saw something in there, somethat that triggered you." She knew this could be a bad idea, but if there was a way to stop what had happened from happening again, she had to take the risk.

"Does the name Jenova mean anything to you?"

When Sephiroth asked if they had met, Tifa had to hold everything back. She wanted to just start screaming at him. After all he had put them though!? The battles, the journey, all of that was nothing to him? Cloud had lost his mind in the Lifestream, Aerith had died by his blade, a meteor was summoned to destroy Gaia. He had the audacity to ask her if they had met?? It was like, none if it had happened. Or he just didn't care to even remember the lives he had ruined. He had burnt down her hometown. This was the man who killed her father. Seeing red didn't even begin to describe what Tifa was feeling at that moment.

"How dare you ask me that. After the things you have done to me, my friends, and my family. You destroyed my life Sephiroth. You took everything from me, and now you just stand there, and not know a damn thing!?" She was starting to inch closer to him, fists balled at her side. She knew challenging him alone would be a terrible idea, but she almost did it. Her mind wasn't thinking straight. She had to pull it together, or she would end up like Cloud. Or worse.

Taking a step back from him, she turned to face away from him, trying to hide the angry tears that were streaming down her face. Seeing him brought everything back for her. Her father laying motionless on the ground. Zack running in to try to save everything. Aerith being put in the water by Cloud, never to surface again. Though she had seen Aerith again here in Zephon, the memory was still there in her mind, and it wasn't going away any time soon.

Coming to a realization, she remembered someone telling her that some people were pulled from their own world way before others. Could it be possible that this Sephiroth had never experienced any of the events that she had? He seemed to be confused by her, and from what she had learned from Cloud, it had been the same way with him as well. Taking a deep breath, she turned to face him again as she wiped the tears from her face.

As she looked at him, he didn't seem any older or younger than the last time she had seen him. Was his hair any shorter? It was so long that she wouldn't be able to tell if it was. Deciding to get it over with, she looked up at him. "What is the last thing you remember about Gaia?" To be honest, he could flat out lie to her. She had to really be careful if she was going to try to get this all figured out.
