[ Leaving hadn't been an easy thing. Leaving had meant leaving Cloud to go off on his own once more. But with the Joker out there and Tifa only with that one guy, he understood. Or maybe it was more a matter of reminding himself that those two years had really passed. That time could change a lot of things. It and this town had certainly changed he, himself.
But still, he's stubborn that day. Still, he's avid to take the back and sandwich the boys between he and Kunsel. He's not crazy about the idea of his best friend running into Joker first thing were he to be traversing through the tunnels, himself, but he can't imagine Joker would find that a good plan knowing how narrow travel is there. That leaves Zack weaving through his muddled thoughts. His thoughts that have been slowly starting to spin since the last evening when Kunsel had gotten there finally.
He's just tired though, he thinks. Just didn't get enough sleep the night before. Or the night before that. ...Really, it's been days since he last slept well and he can't see his sleep patterns getting any better any time soon. That's all it is. But he has to focus, regardless. Has to keep an eye out for that anomaly. Just because it seems like it was lured away doesn't mean there's no chance that it could backtrack. Doesn't mean they couldn't have attracted something else either.
It's that will power from that thought alone... It's what keeps him swinging the light of his tablet back behind them, eyes narrowed. Even as he uncharacteristically stumbles over his own feet. He rights himself soon after, eyes darting to look at the group ahead- wincing as his vision dances and he touches a hand to his temple. A shake of his head later and he drops that hand before he starts again, calling out from behind them: ] You see it, Kuns?

[ He's... really hoping they're close. ]
