On her own. She'll do it herself, she said. She has to. To prove to him that facing your fears is how you move forward. It's how you move on, towards the future.

Barret's voice had been frantic on the other end. Tifa was in danger. A group of ShinRa's finest hired elite assassins. They wanted Cloud, the SOLDIER who defeated them in the past, captured; dead. And they would do so by any means necessary.
There were far too many.
