[...Huh. Zack hadn't meant to worry her, especially not like this. Maybe he'd felt kind of concerned, especially considering his long absence and the fact that she seems to know Cloud and Tifa so well. He hadn't been sure if it would be easier for her to stay with the ones she'd travelled with, rather than someone she hadn't seen for five years.

Because truth be told, even if he still recognizes her, and much of her is still the same as she'd been back then? He doesn't really know her, not like this. And while he wants to get to know her better, he can't really say for sure that it's better for her to stay with him.

...Maybe... he just wanted to hear how she felt about it. Now he feels a little embarrassed, though - he made her worry for nothing, didn't he?]

Well... it's not like I expected everything would be okay, after what's happened. I just wanted to give you the choice, you know? So... you didn't end up sticking with me because of some former obligation, or... [Ah, dammit.] This is probably coming out all wrong.
