Setting: Cloud falls through Aerith's church, and begins talking to his subconscious.
"......You all right?"
"......Can you hear me?"
Cloud:
"......Yeah......"
"Back then......
You could get by with just skinned knees......"
Cloud:
".....What do you mean by 'back then'?"
"What about now? Can you get up?"
Cloud:
"......What do you mean by 'that time'? ......What about now?"
"......Don't worry about me. You just worry about yourself now."
Cloud:
"......I'll give it a try."
"Oh! It moved!"
"......How about that?"
"Whew, am I glad."
"Take it slow now. Little by little......"
"Hello, hello?"
Cloud:
"......I know."
"Hey......who are you?"
"Hello, hello!"

Aerith:
"You okay?"
"This is a church in the Sector 5 slums."
"It suddenly fell on top me. It really gave me a scare."
Cloud:
"......I came crashing down?"
Aerith:
"The roof and the flower bed must have broken your fall. You're lucky."
Cloud:
"Flower bed......is this yours?"
"Sorry about that."
Aerith:
"That's all right. The flowers here are quite resilient because this is a sacred place."
"They say you can't grow grass and flowers in Midgar."
"But for some reason, the flowers have no trouble blooming here."
"I love it here."
Aerith walks over and crouches down to tend her flowers.
Aerith:
"......So, we meet again."
"......Don't you remember me?"
Cloud:
"Yeah, I remember... You were selling flowers."
Aerith:
"Oh! I'm so happy!"
"Thanks for buying my flowers."
"Say, do you have any Materia?"
Cloud:
"Yes, some."
"Nowadays, you can find Materia anywhere."
Aerith:
"But mine is special. It's good for absolutely nothing."
Cloud:
"......good for nothing? You probably just don't know how to use it."
Aerith:
"No, I do......it just doesn't do anything."
"I feel safe just having it. It was my mother's......"
"Say, I feel like talking. Do you feel up to it?"
"After all, here we are meeting again, right?"
Cloud:
"I don't mind."
Aerith:
"Wait here. I've got to check my flowers. It'll be just a minute."
"Just a little longer."
"Oh!"
"Now that you mention it....."
"We don't know eachother's names, do we?"
"I'm Aerith, the flower girl. Nice to meet you."
Cloud:
"The name's Cloud."
"Me.....? I do a little bit of everything."
Aerith:
"Oh..... a jack of all trades."
Cloud:
"Yeah, I do whatever's needed."
"What's so funny? What are you laughing at?"
Aerith:
"Sorry...... I just."
Reno distracts them.
Aerith:
"Sorry, bad timing on my part."
"Cloud! Don't let it get to you."
"Say, Cloud. Have you ever been a bodyguard?"
"You DO do everything, right?"
Cloud:
"......Yeah, that's right."
Aerith:
"Then, get me out of here. Take me home."
Cloud:
"OK, I'll do it...but it'll cost you."
Aerith:
"Well then, let's see......"
"How about if I go out with you once?"
