Now that's the Tifa I love reading about! One that's willing to pull her head out of the sand and look around and go "this isn't right."
And then bust some heads.
(Don't know if it was an intentional nod to Johnny from the game, but I squeed a bit seeing him in the fic. He ended up in Costa del Sol, so it wasn't all bad for him, even if he never got Tifa.)
