[Okay well he was gonna step away from him but not after seeing that look on his face. His grip on the back of Zack's neck tightens just a little bit, just enough to be a sure, steady weight. Maybe he steps a little closer.]
Hojo's gotta pay. Maybe all the ShinRa brass. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but- but after what they let happen, after what they did to me and my mom? I gotta take 'em out somehow, Zack.
[And he's not going to ask Zack to do that with him. Zack might want it too maybe, revenge, or maybe Zack just wants to grab Aerith and get as far away from this continent as possible; Cloud wouldn't blame him for it. He deserves some happiness.
Cloud's just not sure that's in the cards for him anymore. Not that long-term kind, with the girl and the kids and the career. Cloud's sure he'll crash and burn at some point, he just wants to take the entire fucking ShinRa tower down with him when he goes.]
