No.

[Although he's still distraught, the way he answers and looks at her is fierce and stern. Although it's not solely directed at her as he sighs and runs a hand over his face.]

...No, we're both doing the same thing for the same reasons. We're trying to keep everything to ourselves for the sake of the other when we shouldn't be.

[It made sense before, when they were still processing their feelings for one another. And it's an old habit that's going to take a while for either of them to really quit. But Eustace realizes that what they're doing is only working against them. It's a lesson he had realized back then with Flamek and Diaspora, and it's a lesson he's realizing again now that he's chosen to spend the rest of his life with Tifa.

Taking her hand, he stares into her eyes earnestly.]


We're about to be married... Even though we want to shield each other we can't. Just as you want to share and solve my problems, I want to do the same for you.

I won't deny it... Hearing what you've went through does make me feel more responsible about it. But I would have felt worse if I found out later than this. ...Just as you would if I had continue to keep everything to myself.

[His expression then hardens as his hands grip hers in a tighter hold, his voice rising just a hair.]

So don't tell me you'll be fine when I know you're not.
