Zack had touched on something that Cloud was thinking about also as they moved on down the hall, that Tifa may have already gone off somewhere else. He couldn't really say where, though, not having had the chance to ask her in Doyleton or on the bus ride back what she had planned for the coming night.

Probably, she'd be looking for a weapon if she didn't have one already or -- remembering their conversation at the restaurant -- an escape route. She'd mentioned, too, that everyone else had been here before, that it was just the four of them left now. It made Cloud wonder who else had been here before, if it'd just been the rest of AVALANCHE or others as well.

As they stepped into the next, much larger corridor, he realized that they'd been walking in relative silence. He'd been too busy with his own musings to take proper notice of this before, but now that he had... well. A glance at Zack, who was quieter than normal. Cloud knew he himself wasn't much for talking, but for Zack, this silence had a something different about it.

Then again, it could be just the atmosphere of the situation they were in rather than something bothering his friend. Either way, Cloud didn't know whether he ought to ask about it or not. As they neared the middle of the hall, he finally settled for a quiet, "Something on your mind?"
