Claire & Cloud
"I'm hoping that it's true we don't actually seem to be gone that long at home. Seems like a lot of people who've been back and forth so far didn't lose any time in their worlds." Cloud didn't like the idea of leaving Tifa and the kids without him for so long. Things had been quiet since the Deep Ground incident, but that was no guarantee that something else wouldn't crop up. Cloud's world couldn't seem to enjoy more than a year or two of peace at a time.
"Aliens wouldn't go over all that well at home. The only experience people on my planet have had with them was negative."
