[perhaps now there is slightly more context for why she was initially so insistent about going back and everything remaining the same. it's not like she's planning to lead shinra to the promised land. she doesn't even know where it is, really, or how to get there. but she initially was fairly bound to her duty upon arriving in this village, and now...well. having a few extra weeks of life, making new friends, and being able to have those normal experiences without people knowing she's an ancient, a being with such a deep connection to the planet that could help save everything, has changed her perspective.
she knows she needs to return. but now she wonders "well, what if..." she doesn't take that as anything condescending because sometimes aerith really does forget her own age. she also doesn't seem to mind the reminder that scien processes even the same base feelings so differently.]
...I do, I think. [a soft correction, because only a cetra can help stop sephiroth.] But maybe not yet. None of that matters here without being on our planet, and without the ability to change or feel things. I can't forget who I am. But...even if it feels selfish, taking the normalcy doesn't always feel bad.
[if you guys gave her her materia back she'd be sooooo good at fighting fires. but alas. she must settle for playing drinking games and holding cloud's hand and doing what she can for the morale.]
...thank you for that. [the reminder, she means. she knew, but it never quite felt right up to this point where she lost her life again and had to find something new to holdonto.]
