[ Tifa frowns at Claire's words, at the implication that some people came from places that were so bad that being here was an improvement. Maybe some would look at her situation as it was in Midgar and claim that it was an example of that, but she couldn't imagine leaving behind Gaia for greener pastures.
Especially now that she's seen it in all of its splendor. Especially now that she understands just how much there is to save. (The waters off Junon and its great condor; the dense jungles of Gongaga; the red-rock vistas of Cosmo Canyon...)
She could speak to all of that, but she holds it in for now, listening raptly as Claire explains a recent experience that she had. All talk of cults and organized religion aside, she's saying the Summoned became gods? How is that even possible? Tifa's eyes go wide as she looks back to Claire's beautiful, glowing hair. Yes, it is unusual, but she never would have jumped to assuming she was a god. ]
I — does that mean it was temporary? You being a god, I mean. Or...
[ Has she been talking to a god this whole time? That frankly doesn't feel right. Claire had been extremely approachable, long glowing hair aside, and Tifa doesn't feel anything like she did when visiting the summon shrines back home.
She doesn't understand how you become a god only to suddenly not be one anymore, though. Or actually, scratch that, how you become a god in the first place. ]
