Seventh Heaven was trashed.

Has anyone seen Tifa? 5'3", dark brown hair, red-brown eyes.

She was taken. Aerith's still missing. ~~Goddammit~~

Yazoo is here now too, just what we need.

~~I can't do this anymore.~~

What about the other one? He doesn't seem to trust John either.

So what? That doesn't mean anything, they probably all hate each other. They're miserable people.

Maybe some of them really are tired of doing this.

...Zack, are you sympathizing with them?

...

[Give him a moment to think.]

Back in Nibelheim... I think it was the second year, but it was hard to tell - anyway, you were pretty out of it. Hojo had this assistant doing some of his dirty work; cleaning up the tables after he was done tearing into us, feeding us, tech work on the mako pods... menial stuff like that. Anyway, he was from a poor town, just doing this to earn money for his folks. I talked to him a few times, when he stopped being too scared to look at us for too long. He was a real mess. Owen, I think was his name. Owen-somebody.

...I'm not hearing this.

[Ignoring that.]

If you look for it, you can tell - you can see when someone's different. Desperate people can do terrible things... it doesn't make them evil, just wrong. I'd half-convinced him of it. Spike, do you even remember how we got out that first time, when I got shot?

...no- Zack, are you serious? You feel bad for the people that helped Hojo do that to us?

I feel bad for the one who was forced into the position where they had to watch people get hurt - someone who was killed trying to help us.

[Well that shut Cloud right up.]

.....That Jacob guy... he reminds me of Owen. Betraying him could get him killed, but he's still helping us.

...we don't know if it's the same, Zack. He could be lying through his teeth.

He could be. But I just have a hunch.

You have a hunch.

Is it that hard to believe?

What's hard to believe is that you'd lay everything on it. Zack, seriously?

Haven't we tried everything else already? You want us to sit on our asses and wait for an answer to get handed to us or something?

Trusting these guys isn't a very good answer.

Not saying it is, but we don't have many options right now.

Then we should wait for something else.

Why should they put their necks on the line for our sakes if we won't take risks for them?

They don't have any intention to put their necks on the line in the first place-

[Cloud scratches his hair in frustration.] Why are you so trusting?
