1. for sure! i think though he's gonna be really resistant and will probably just. make up his own stories again, laughs ;; it takes a lot for him in OG to like, actually break free of this whole thing he's made up, so it'll be super interesting to see how being around zack slowly chips away at things... i'm thinking that he'll likely accept that zack must have known him back then without like, Putting Everything Together and just will carry on like that for awhile.

which is cute, because then they get to sort of...rebuild their friendship in a way! and he will obviously put together the pieces regarding zack/aerith, etc since i assume zack will come stay with them hopefully (cloud will of course peace out to another room if they need their space for their own Talking)

2. yes that would be lovely!! they could maybe team up in the forest at some point!
