Zack- no way, you've gotta see your folks. That's the biggest reason we even came here. [There is no future in this timeline or any other where Cloud doesn't figure out a way for Zack to see his family. Even if they weren't crazy close, even if Zack insists it's okay, it's not.

What if something happens? What if this is his only chance? What if this is the one good thing Zack gets to have, to keep him going? Zack deserves that comfort, gods damn it.]

Ribbt... [Cloud folds his froggy arms and crouches on his haunches, big frog mouth making his thinking scowl look even more severe. -wait a minute.] D'you think you could convince your parents it's you even if you don't change back? If you go see them like this? [They're Gongagan, after all.]
