[But you weren't in control, is what she wants to tell him. That it wasn't his fault... but she knows that those words are empty to him. Tifa knows that him being unable to control it is why it's so terrifying in the first place. She trusts, without a shred of doubt, that he would never do anything to hurt her, but this world and its magic or the forces that compel them to do things that they'd never do in their right minds always seem to have other plans.
Still, she wishes there was something—anything that she could say to help make this pain of his go away, and to stop it from bleeding into her so that she can't stand firm for him to lean on. Tifa flinches when he cuts himself off, that thought lingering in the air for far too long before he speaks again, but at some point, she hasn't realized that she's stopped breathing as she combs her fingertips gently through his hair, hanging onto his every word.]
... I wish there was a way I could make this stop...
[To forget it all, but even when they go home to their own worlds, that pain will never leave their hearts. It will be something that they will have to live carrying, whether they realize it or not, forever. Tifa came back after what happened—they woke up and she ran to him, but she'd be lying if she said that she wasn't still bearing the burden of that fear still... She just forced it down so that she could be there for him.
Now that he's opening up to her about it, she still isn't sure what to do, and although it's tearing her from the inside out, she isn't going to let this moment go to waste.]
