Characters: Zack, Tifa, Zell, Kunsel, and... Jim? Kind of? Location: House 43 Date: Day 72 Summary: Jim tries to take out a monster and fails miserably. Warnings: Death, violence, grief? You know, Snowhell stuff.
[Tifa sighs, her own eyes meeting his. She reaches out to take his hands, squeezing tightly. She wishes she knew what to tell him, but... She's lost so many people she's cared about, and it never gets easier. She always feels helpless and lost afterward, and empty platitudes have always felt condescending. So, after a moment, she shakes her head, her gaze dropping down to her boots.]
I... I don't know. We just have to stay strong and keep going.
[Which sounds heartless to say, especially when all she wants to do is curl up somewhere and cry, but what else can they do?]
[Sucking in a long breath before letting it out. Returning the squeeze before he tugs on her arm gently and leads her over to the couch. All the energy is already slipping away from him.]
We need to go punch the admin. And whoever is responsible for those things.
[And anyone who gets in their way.
He also is going to keep hoping Jim comes back. He can’t…
[Tifa allows herself to be led and then sits beside him, considering that. They have to do something, don't they? At home, it was easier. There was a clear target. She knew what Shinra was capable of, and despite the danger, it was a simple choice to make. But they don't even know what the Admin is.
So she doesn't respond right away, staring down at her lap.]
We should...
[What should they do?]
We have to figure out what's going on, first, right?
We just have to keep trying everything. We haven't been every where, right?
[Even if others have searched, everyone had a different perspective. Different strengths and interests! So, something might have been missed!]
Like build another bomb and get into that one house.
[He doesn't really want to... but he need to make a list of shit to do to keep from missing Jim. But he finds the more he thinks about the bomb attempt, the more he wants to turn to look for Jim. He wants to ask him his thoughts. Jim is supposed to have his back and make sure he doesn't get in trouble, right?
Swallowing as he just borrows her shoulder a moment.] We'll...do something. Make them regret frickin bringing us here.

We'll get through it together. We'll... We'll talk to the others and figure out something.
