Scene 37
(They arrive at the city of Kalm. It is a charming, idyllic town with a Dutch appearance.)
Tifa
"So this is Kalm?"
Aerith
"I wonder if everyone's
there already. Let's hurry over to the inn!"
(Aerith enters the inn)
Tifa
"Let's go Cloud."
(Tifa enters the inn. Cloud follows upstairs. The others are waiting.)
Aerith
"Cloud, you're late!"
Barret
"Yo man, you're late!"
Cloud
"Sorry to keep you
waiting."
Aerith
"Guess everyone's
here now."
Barret
"So let's hear your
story......"
"You know, the one
about Sephiroth and the crisis facing the planet."
"Let's hear it all."
(Cloud looks at his feet.. then looks at Barret. The music fades.)
Cloud
"......I used to want
to be like Sephiroth, so I joined SOLDIER."
"After working with
Sephiroth on several missions, we became friends."
Barret
"You call that a friend?"
Cloud
"Yeah, well......."
"He's older than me,
and he hardly ever talked about himself."
Tifa
"............"
Cloud
"So I guess you'd
call him a war buddy..... We trusted each other. Until one day......"
Aerith
"...one day?"
(Cloud turns away from the others.)
Cloud
"After the war it
was SOLDIER's duty to put down any resistance against the Shinra."
"...........that was
5 years ago."
"I was 16........"
