Setting: Cloud is placed in an inn at Gongaga Village, and has a dream about Aerith.
Cloud:
"Everything is white..."
"What did I do? I don't remember anything..."
"My memory...since when...? If everything's a dream, don't wake me."

Aerith:
"Cloud, can you hear me?"
Cloud:
"Yeah, I hear you. Sorry for what happened."
Aerith:
"Don't worry about it."
Cloud:
"...I can't help it..."
Aerith:
"Oh..."
"Then, why don't you REALLY worry about it?"
"And let me handle Sephiroth."
"And Cloud, you take care of yourself."
"So you don't have a breakdown, okay?"
Cloud and Aerith are placed in the Sleeping Forest.
Cloud:
"What is this place?"
Aerith:
"This forest leads to the City of the Ancients...and is called the Sleeping Forest."
"It's only a matter of time before Sephiroth uses Meteor."
"That's why I'm going to protect it. Only a survivor of the Cetra, like me, can do it."
"The secret is just up here."
"At least it should be. ...I feel it. It feels like I'm being led by something."
"Then, I'll be going now. I'll come back when it's all over."
Cloud:
"Aerith?"
Sephiroth appears.
Sephiroth:
"Hmm......she's thinking of interfering? She will be a difficult one, don't you think?"
"We must stop that girl soon."
