[It is indeed painful to think about...yet that's just how life is. He could have easily not have met Gran or the others even in his own world and just continuing as he is. And of course, he isn't the type to dwell on the what if's—there's no point. Just... With Tifa, given their situation it's more poignant how the stars had to align so perfectly for this to work.
...Rewriting the stars, indeed...
While the idea of them always being together in no matter what life or what world is a beautiful one, he's a realist. So—]
...Yeah, we're together now.
[He hugs her close, burying his face in her hair as he inhales her scent, takes in her warmth, feels her heartbeat—everything.]
Just having you even once...it's already more than I could ever dream.
[More than he deserves, frankly.
He has her here, here with him now. In the present, in the time when he's fully aware of her presence and love. In a time and place...where this is just right. They may have other fated ones waiting for them somewhere else, and that's okay. Knowing how wonderful Tifa is...as much as he wants to keep her all to himself, it's not so bad to let others be blessed by her warmth and love, to also be moved just as he was. What's more important is that he can be selfish with her right now. Can keep her to himself in this little world they may one day call home.
And he feel so grateful and happy for it. So much so that the snowflakes and lights start to flicker brighter, a pleasant gust of wind blowing everything around them.]
