Lần trước có bạn nào nhắc đến Case of Tifa ấy nhở?
Hik đang ngồi đọc đây... Cứ thấy nó... cũng chán thấy mồ được. Sêm sêm... bình thường, không có gì nổi bật. Đại loại chỉ có việc ông Barret và Tifa, Cloud đi thăm mẹ nuôi Aerith và ko bảo vệ được cô, xây lại quán bar, nhận nuôi Denzel, bùm 1 phát thèng Cloud biến mật. =.=
Nếu nói về Tifa và Cloud, thì chỉ có 1 số đoạn đáng chú ý:
“We’re here with you but you’re still lonely, aren’t you?”
“…I’m sorry,” Tifa answered honestly.
“It’s ok. We’re the same.”
“I see.”
“I wonder where Cloud is.”
Tifa didn’t know and put her hand on her neck. Cloud was in Midgar somewhere. She imagined how the worst could have happened as he was caught in an accident where he went to work or he was being attacked by some monster. Cú này thì em bó tay với chị ti
“Cloud, you’re smiling.”
“I am?”
“Yeah.”
“It all starts now. A new…”
Cloud looked for the right words.
“A new life.”
“I’m going to live. I think that’s the only way I can be forgiven. All sorts of things… happened.”
“That’s right…”
“But when I think about how many times I’ve thought about how I was going to start a new life, it’s funny.”
“Why?”
“Because I’ve always failed everything.”
“That’s not funny.”
“…I think it will be all right this time.”
Cloud thought for a while before he continued.
“Because this time it will be together with you, Tifa.”
“Haven’t I always been together with you?”
“What I mean is kind of different.”
Cloud replied, smiling again.
Barret lifted his artificial right arm up that had a machine gun attached to it. He kept walking without looking back. It was the back of a figure who had no other way to live than to fight. I wonder just what kind of life he will find. I prayed that he would be able to stay far away from war. Not just take. I prayed he would be able to prove that he could give, too.
“Make sure you be a nice child of this family!
Hearing those words, Cloud and Tifa looked at each other. A child of this family?
“I’ll take care of Cloud and Tifa!”
Barret turned round and shouted, “Do your best!” His voice was a little shaky.
“Unite the family’s strength and keep at it!” “A family.” (Tifa)
“Yeah.” (Marlene)
Marlene cheerfully answered in response to Tifa’s murmur.
“I’ll put Cloud in our family too.” (Marlene)
“I appreciate that.” (Cloud) After Cloud started his delivery service, their “family” life changed greatly. It wasn’t too good. Besides morning and late night, Cloud was usually not at home. And of course, there were less chances for the three of them to have conversations together. Tifa closed the bar for a day during the week, but it didn’t stop Cloud from doing his job. Cloud wasn’t likely to turn down requests. Cảm giác chú Cloud đã thử cố gắng để xây dựng gia đình với tifa nhưng cuối cùng chú ấy vẫn ko làm được.
During their holiday, Tifa and Marlene were cleaning the room that was now Cloud’s office. There were many slips that laid scattered about unsorted. One of them caught Tifa’s eye.
Client Name - Elmyra Gainsborough
Delivery Item - Bouquet
Destination - The Forgotten City
Tifa put the slip away with the others as if nothing happened, but she was trembling severely. Transporting mail around the world meant he was traveling around his past too. She knew that Cloud was in great pain because he couldn’t protect Aerith. Cloud was trying to overcome that and live on. But, going back to the place where he parted from Aerith might mean that his sorrow and regret was going to tear his heart again.
It was night, and they had closed the bar. Cloud was drinking alcohol even though he rarely did. He drained his glass. Tifa thought about it before going over and filling his glass.
“Shall I join you?” There was something she wanted to talk to him about.
“I want to drink alone.”
Hearing that, Tifa lost control and said, “Then drink in your room.” Ố ồ... Chậc... đọc đoạn này thì lại mún được coi remake của FFVII quá! Lúc Aerith qua đời sẽ được nhìn thấy chú Cloud "hóc" rồi. Hè hè...
As Marlene wondered if Tifa was listening or not, she told Barret in a sad voice, “Cloud and Tifa aren’t getting along very well.” Trẻ con nó nhận ra tất cả. =.=
One morning, Tifa shared a story she heard from a customer that seemed funny.
“That’s really something that can’t be done,” Cloud thought aloud.
“It can’t be done!” Marlene shouted.
All the adults were surprised and looked at Marlene.
“You’ve told us that story before and Cloud just gives the same answer!”
It didn’t go well. But we were together. It was because we were family. We lived in the same house and we were living by uniting our strength. Maybe there wasn’t much conversation or many smiles, but we were family, Tifa thought to herself. No, it was what she made herself think. After making certain that Cloud was asleep, she spoke to him.
“We’ll be all right, won’t we?”
Of course, there was no answer. I only heard the sound of him sleeping. I wondered if the fact that he was sleeping here meant that he was part of the family.
“Do you love me?”
Cloud woke up, a perplexed look on his face.
“Hey, Cloud. Do you love Marlene?”
“Yeah. But sometimes I don’t know how to approach her.”
“Even though we’ve been together for some time?”
“Maybe that just isn’t enough.”
“Even we aren’t enough for you?”
Cloud didn’t answer.
“Sorry for asking some strange things.”
“Don’t apologize. It’s my problem.”
Cloud closed his eyes.
“Let’s work hard together.”
Tifa waited for his answer, though she couldn’t hear it even if she waited until the morning. Fan tifa đã có cái họ muốn, lời tỏ tình của Tifa với Cloud, but... đừng quên Cloud đã trả lời lại như thế nào.
It was true, and he done a very thorough job of cleaning. When she asked him if it was his passed away mother who taught him how to clean, he answered no. The following day, Tifa asked Cloud who taught Denzel how to clean. Denzel had revealed it to Cloud. And Tifa was a little hurt. “So the problem was resolved?” Tifa asked.
“Which problem?” Cloud responded.
“Your problem.”
“Oh…”
Cloud thought about it.
“It’s ok if you don’t want to tell me.”
“I can’t really explain it well…” Cloud warned before starting to talk. “The problem isn’t resolved. Well, I never tried resolving it for a long time, I think. You can’t retrieve lost lives.”
Tifa nodded silently.
“But maybe we can save the lives who are in a crisis just now. Maybe even I can do it.”
“You mean Denzel?”
“Yeah.”
“Hey, do you remember what you said when you brought Denzel here?”
“What did I say?”
“A lot of things. Even if I opposed it, you would bring him back with you. I could just feel it.”
“That…”
Cloud was making a face like a kid who thought he would get scolded.
“Tell me. I’ll decide whether I’m angry or not after I listen.”
Cloud nodded and continued.
“Denzel had collapsed in front of Aerith’s church. That’s why I thought Aerith lead him to me.”
Saying all that in one breath, Cloud looked away.
“You went to the church.”
“I didn’t intend to hide it from you.”
“You did hide it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m not saying you couldn’t go. But next time, I’ll go with you.”
“I understand.”
“And you’re wrong, Cloud.”
Cloud was perplexed as he looked at Tifa.
“Aerith didn’t bring Denzel to you.”
“Ahh, I only thought that…..”
“I didn’t mean it that way.”
“Aerith brought Denzel to our home.”
Cloud gazed at Tifa and finally smiled.
**
Days after having that conversation, Cloud left. Tifa wondered if that smile he showed her was an illusion. After kissing the sleeping children on the face she went into Cloud’s office. She brushed away the dust on the family photo they had taken and then tried calling him. After several rings the messaging service took over. Tóm lại, em thấy chú Cloud thừa biết Tifa iu chú ấy rồi, nhưng chú ấy cũng chả làm nên cái gì "thay đổi" cả. Và Tifa, với bản chất áp đặt vốn có càng thể hiện rõ ra ở cuối chuyện.
"Anh nghĩ rằng Aerith đã mang cậu bé ấy tới với anh",
"Aerith không mang Denzel tới chỗ anh!",
"Chỉ là anh nghĩ vậy thôi...",
" Ý em ko phải vậy",
"Aerith mang Denzel tới với gia đình chúng ta". Cloud cho rằng Denzel là đứa trẻ do Aerith gửi cho anh và nói trắng ra ý nghĩ áp đặt của Tifa. Suy cho cùng, Tifa, Marlene và Barret mới là những người nỗ lực xây dựng gia đình. Cloud chả làm cái đếch gì cả ngoài chuyện bỏ nhà đi suốt ngày và vợ hỏi yêu cô ta ko thì lờ tăng tít đi. Nếu các bác nào thấy chuyện này là romance thì em cũng bó tay rồi ạ. Chú Cloud cũng muốn xây dựng cuộc sống mới, Barret, Marlene và Tifa đều tưởng có thể xây dựng cho Cloud 1 gia đình hạnh phúc nhưng....
"Chẳng lẽ chúng em không đủ cho anh sao?" Rõ ràng là Cloud muốn được ở bên cạnh 1 người khác, người mà ai-cũng-biết-là-ai-đấy. Cho đến cuối cùng, Cloud vẫn mãi đi tìm Aerith mà thôi. Calling và Reminiscene Of Final Fantasy VII là câu trả lời rõ ràng nhất:
"Chúng tôi chọn cánh đồng hoa vàng vì chúng trông gần giống với những bông hoa trong nhà thờ của Aerith".~FFVII AC Artbook (Em đọc quyển này rồi, con bạn em nó bỏ 150k ra để mua nên ko đọc thì phí lắm.
)
"I think the behavior of the cloud and the TIFA is a very agonizing." ~Nojima khi nói về Case of TIFA.
Chốt cho cũng, cả COD và COT đều ko cho tifa có 1 cơ hội nào với Cloud cả. Từ đó cũng suy ra, có thể Tifa tốt thật, hợp làm mẹ thật nhưng mờ vẫn không phù hợp với Cloud. Hơn nữa, theo truyện này, nó cũng đá đá về việc "mẹ & con" và chính tifa đã cảm thấy mình là 1 người mẹ ko tốt. Trở ngược lại với FFVIIAC, về Aerith, hình như ai cũng có cảm giác đó là "1 bà mẹ tốt". *Cười chết mất*

Cloud: in 8th Street
“Excuse me, what happened?”
She asked me the question, and then I bought a flower from her, which is rare in Midgar.
Maybe she’s pleased that the flower was sold, because the worried look on her face had vanished. If this smile costs only one gil, it is a good purchase.
